Ruinous scandal, physical agony and the journey from "hero" to "zero" was completed. Unlike many, Tiger Woods courageously admitted his failings and yielded to that sign on the road -- "The best apology is a behavioral change." His passion for doing what's right became fast burning fuel propelling his patrons.
April 15, 2019, Augusta, Ga., became the stage of a tour de force. Tiger Woods wins the Masters, the green jacket he wore in 2005 still fit! The praise by his opponents, including three who finished only one stroke behind; the unbiased roaring of the crowds, so united behind the renewed hero who made the impossible possible; Mr. Woods' statement, "I was lucky enough and fortunate enough to do it again"; and signaling to his loyal caddie, Joe LaCava, who stuck by his side although Tiger didn't play for two years.
I'll admit I felt some moisture in my eyes. America the beautiful, its humanity -- if only for a fleeting moment -- expressed its true potential. In such darkening skies, what a bright light!
