Have you ever felt sorry for a man worth an estimated $600 million? CBS and Golf Channel analyst David Feherty has.
Tiger Woods Shifts Focus from Golf to Entrepreneurship
After Tiger Woods made the decision to take a leave of absence from golf, Feherty said he couldn't help but feel sorry for the former No. 1 player in the world.
"For the last 18 years, he has had a camera meet him in the parking lot and follow him to the parking lot when he's done," he said (via AL). "It's a great shame, really, that we haven't given him any privacy or any kind of respect. Even this last episode when he was so bummed and deflated, and for the first time he gave the impression he felt like a basket case, we still followed him to his car and watched him struggle to get his shoes off and drive away."
Tiger Woods 'Doesn't Need to be Back Where He Was,' Says Padraig Harrington
"I mean, really? Enough. I never thought I'd feel sorry for him, but I do."
Doubt continues to mount surrounding Woods' ability to return to prominence. Even two-time major champion Greg Norman believes he'll be unable to recapture his championship form.
"Quite honestly, I doubt it," Norman told Matt Lauer on the Today Show when asked if Woods will ever return to the summit of golf (via Yahoo Sports). "Not the way he was in 2000 on for eight or nine years. Mentally, he's a little unraveled."
Feherty, however, doesn't share the same sentiment.
"I've been there for 50 or 60 of his tournament wins," he added. "When he plays well, no one else wins. If he comes back durable and gets his head around all the problems he's got, I think he's got a lot left in him."
