“Remember when golf was going to save Tiger Woods? That was the dubious pop-psych theory last winter, as Mr. Woods uneasily emerged from a self-imposed shame hibernation. But it’s been four months since Mr. Woods returned to playing golf, and the sport has not been his redemption—or any fun. On Sunday, he finished a tournament tied for 78th place, two errant shots from dead last. He’s been searching erratically for fragments of his former greatness. Emotion has crept in. The theory that Mr. Woods was a coldblooded compartmentalizer whose game would be immune to his personal crisis? A fantasy. Tiger Woods is just a professional golfer. And right now, he’s not a very good one.”
