Is It Time for Tiger Woods To Step Away From the PGA Tour?

He's been through every emotion you could possibly imagine. He's been from the very tip of the mountain top after winning the Masters a few years ago to being in the very bottom of what must feel like a bottomless pit over the last six months.

He's disgraced himself, hurt his family, and embarrassed his sponsors, friends, and fellow players.

He made his return, albeit it too soon I thought, at the Masters in Augusta this past April and played better than a lot of people expected.

Since the Masters, Tiger has been everything but himself. He missed the cut at Quail Hollow a few weeks ago and then, during the final round of the The Players Championship at Sawgrass, withdrew on the seventh hole because of an apparent neck injury.

Not to add insult to injury, but the latest piece of negative news couldn't have helped Tiger's situation, as his swing coach, Hank Haney, resigned earlier this week . The hits just keep coming.

For Tiger, he has to be wondering how much worse things can get. But, he also needs to realize that this is of his own making. He made the choices he made, and now he has to deal with the consequences; he has no one to blame but himself.

Where he goes now and what happens in the next few months is unknown. What I would suggest, if I could, to Tiger is to step away from the game for awhile and realize that he's tried to do too much too soon.

I know the competitiveness inside him must be brewing, for he's just like anyone who has ever played any kind of sport, been injured, been forced to watch from the sidelines, and ached to return to their team or their sport before they're physically able.

While at dinner last night with a family friend, we got onto the conversation of Tiger Woods and what has happened to him since the Masters. He made a good point to me while in the car. He said, "golf is 85 percent mental and 15 percent physical." He was exactly right. Article Source: Bleacher Report - Golf
