Major news broke the early morning of the Memorial Day holiday this year.  At around three in the morning, in Jupiter, Florida, Tiger Woods was arrested for driving under the influence.  This is a major shock and has sent massive ripples through the PGA community.

Tiger Woods is arguably the biggest superstar of the Professional Golf Association since Arnold Palmer’ and Jack Nicklaus’ legendary days.  None of them had the cultural and fantasy golf impact that Woods had on the game.  Tiger bursted onto the scene as a teenager and promptly finished atop of the leaderboards before he reached the age of twenty. Tiger dominated the 2000’s as it seemed he won every major event for a five year stretch. As it stands now, he is entrenched as one of the best of all time.  The only problem is, Woods wants more.  Tiger has been nursing a handful of minor injuries for most of the 2010’s and has been trying to make his way back as one of the best in golf.  Unfortunately for him, that has yet to fully blossom into that because of a lack of consistent performance on Woods’ end.   His last couple rounds of daily fantasy golf plays have not been helping reach his ultimate destination.

After what happened early Monday morning, it is very difficult to imagine Tiger ever having the opportunity to reclaim his throne. We don’t quite have all of the logistics what happened during this eventful night but we do know he will be out of the PGA tournament for an extended period of time. When the news broke with the incident of his affair, there was a great deal of public outlash and hypocrisy. Only time will tell what well ensue during this go around.  Personally, I truly doesn’t hope this tarnishes his overall legacy. Tiger was on top of the world, not only in golf but in all of sports, and to see him plummet back down to earth like this is rough. He is undoubtedly one of the most talented athletes of the twenty first century, but his decision making has plagued him and far outweighs the magic he was producing on the links.
