In 2009 Tiger Woods and LeBron James were on top of the sports world.  Woods was married with children and playing great golf.  James was still a Cleveland Cavalier attempting to bring a championship to the city of Cleveland.

Now James is with the Miami Heat.  Once beloved in a segment of the sports world, he is now a villain.  His image has taken a hit in the media for making “The Decision” such a public spectacle that it had induced a lot of negative press. 

Woods is now attempting to get his life back together after divorcing his wife as result of his infidelity.  When Woods crashed his Cadillac Escalade on that Nov. 27 morning last year, who would have thought his life would have been turned upside down.

Invariably two of the most decorated athletes of this generation have been stifled for different reasons.  One for making “The Decision” and the other for engaging what can be characterized as “The Crash.”

Woods’ fall from grace is now complete.  In the course of a year, Woods has lost his family, confidence in his golf game, his swing coach, endorsements and now his No. 1 ranking.  It also marks the first time Woods has not won a PGA Tour sanctioned event in his career.

“The Crash” was certainly the beginning of the end of Tiger Woods as we once knew him.  He was coming off a great year where his surgically repaired knee that he defeated the venerable Rocco Mediate on to claim the 2008 US Open was feeling great. 

Nov. 15 of 2009 was the last time Woods hoisted a trophy in triumph where he claimed the JBWere Masters in Melbourne, Australia.  He was all smiles as he looked forward to the holiday to be with his family and prepare to dominate the following season. There was even talk of possible Grand Slam as all the majors were played at venues Woods’ played extremely well.<...
