Tiger Woods (official thread)

(AP) -- Earl Woods, who was more determined to raise a good son than a great golfer and became the role model, architect and driving force behind Tiger Woods' phenomenal career, died Wednesday morning at his home. He was 74.
"My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply," Tiger Woods said on his Web site. "I'm overwhelmed when I think of all of the great things he accomplished in his life. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend. I wouldn't be where I am today without him, and I'm honored to continue his legacy of sharing and caring." Woods was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998 and was treated with radiation, but the cancer returned in 2004 and spread throughout his body. Last month, he was too frail to travel to the Masters for the first time. His son finished tied for third.

He can definately afford to not play golf for a while, so I wouldn't be shocked to see him sit out until the Open.

Looks like he was probably going to do that anyway, so I'd say that's a safe bet.

By all accounts, Earl was a great "athlete dad" and let Tiger choose his own course. He never saw his son as a meal ticket like Marinovich's old man did. He let Tiger grow up to be Tiger and concentrated on teaching him right from wrong and how to be a man. He let the golf take care of itself.
Sadly, in the long run, this will finally let Tiger be Tiger again. The distraction of his dad's health has hampered his game dramatically for a while now.
Tiger will likely take a month off from the tour and spend it with his family. As he should.
RIP Earl Woods. You were a good man,

Tiger's Wife Gives Birth to a Daughter
By The Associated Press
Tiger has a cub. Less than 24 hours after Tiger Woods finished second at the U.S. Open on Father's Day, his wife gave birth to their first child, a daughter. He announced Monday night on his Web site that Sam Alexis Woods was born early Monday morning.
"Both Elin and Sam are doing well and resting peacefully," Woods wrote. "We want to thank our doctors and the hospital staff for all their dedicated and hard work. This is truly a special time in our lives and we look forward to introducing Sam to our family and friends over the next few weeks. We thank everyone for their well wishes and continued respect of our privacy."
