Agreed, in the end golf is just a game.

"It's kind of up in the air with the situation back home, so I don't know what's going to happen," said Woods, who is in New Zealand to attend the wedding of his caddie Steve Williams. He is also due to drive in a charity motor race Monday on New Zealand's North Island.

 

"I'm taking time off. I'm here for this event and for Steve, and to enjoy time off and be with my father, so I won't play for a while," Woods said.

 

"My father is hanging in there, the guy is an absolute fighter and walking miracle."

 

Woods said he would definitely seek his 11th major title in the U.S. Open at Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, N.Y., from June 15-18.

good link. deep down tiger is a really good guy. glad he's doing what's right.

 

but hopefully he'll make this up to us next year by playing 38 events. :golfer:

[leftygolfer15]

He should be back for the Nelson. He's got some revenge to take out on that course, and to see Bryon of course.

[chesterrc]

Good for him!

my prayers our with earl and the woods family.

[littlepoison]

My prayers go out for Mr. Earl Woods' health... there will be many, many more victories for Tiger. There's only so much time he has left with his father. He has his priorities in order :golfer:

[freddiec]

I with Earl Woods all the best. I admire both Tiger and his dad greatly.

[rhnh7063]

It's an awesome testimony to his character that a man in his position has kept his priorities straight where so many others never look back.

Thoughts and prayers are with you, Tiger, and your father.

[nikemike]

One can only think that this type of move by Tiger can only mean not so good news concerning the real status of his dad's health. I sincerely hope everything works out for the best. Golf will always be here.

Thoughts and prayers are with Tiger and his family...

Best wishes to Tiger and his family.

ouch 1st and 10 just manhandled him. Skip Bayliss said that he shouldnt be saying this because:

A)he is in New Zealand

B)Hes going to drive a stock car

C)LA is 15 hours away

 

ouch.....

 

 

With his father Tiger is doing what any of us would do if given the oppurtunity. As for Skip Bayless he is a first rate jerk, and one of those guys who knows nothing about sports but is very loud. He is just like Stephen A. Smith. Tiger is in New Zealand to see one of his best friends get married, what is wrong with that?

Henry Ward Beecher

 

I'm glad to see someone at his level (personally, a level I don't think anyone has ever or will ever reach) still understand that golf was made to be a game and we are so fortunate at the professional level to make a living playing.

 

I'm almost positive this was an easy decision by Mr Woods

Kudos to Tiger to his commitment to family.

 

You're totally right about Skip Bayless. Prior to his current gig, he wrote a sports column in the San Jose Mercury News and managed to annoy probably every reader of the paper.

 

His name says it all - *SKIP* Bayless.
