Nowhere to go, But Up

Tiger Woods

Just like an article I wrote a few month’s back about David Ortiz hitting rock bottom. The idea behind the Ortiz article was that a player cannot turn around their performance until they have hit rock bottom. Another player who has fallen into a similar situation as David Ortiz, is Tiger Woods.

Woods was only able to best Henrik Stenson on the leaderboard this weekend at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club, a course Tiger has dominated in the past, Woods finished 18-over par on the weekend. Woods recored the worst score of his professional career on Sunday by shooting a 77.

It is clear that Tiger has hit rock bottom, like how when commenting on Ortiz hitting rock bottom, since May 5, Ortiz has gone .281, 23 HR, 69 RBI since that day. With the final major of the season coming up this weekend, it would be a great stage for Tiger to steal the show. It will be clear after the first round, defiantly the second round, if Tiger will be in contention for a win this weekend.
