I think Tiger's problems go way back into his childhood. If you compare the type of upbringing that Jack had to that of Tiger, there is a huge difference in every way. Jack appears to have come from a very stable background whereas from the little we really know, Tiger appears to come from a very unstable background. IMHO he had enormous talent as a young child, and has been put on a pedestal from the time he was very young, I have to believe he was told he was a gift to the golfing world, and (I think) was pushed into the world of making huge money instead of staying in college and taking a more normal route. I am a firm believer in that we are a product of our environment...........
If he had gradually quit when his body started to fail he could have been a super star for the rest of his life, instead he is going to be remembered primarily for the "incident" which basically ruined his life. A terrible waste.
