Seriously, I could not be more excited about seeing and hearing Eldrick Woods speak tomorrow for the first time in 3 months. The most famous athlete in the world has managed to not be seen by a single person for 3 whole months. That sort of dedication is what makes him great, as well as led to all of his problems. When you have everything, it is still not enough. Greatness is never satisfied, and it looks to feed off the next challenge. This quality is what makes Tiger so admirable, yet so disdained by those who could never understand what it's like to be him.
Tomorrow at 10am, central time zone, Tiger will host a short presser in front of selected friends and media personal explaining where he has been the last 3 months and what led him to betray his friends, family, and sponsors. I'm giddy with excitement to see how Tiger handles being in such an uncomfortable situation. Yes, sinking a clutch 30 foot put takes a lot of machismo, but facing the world after one of the greatest scandals will require much more than testosterone. It will require planning and preparation. Two qualities that Tiger has perfected in his life. This is why I don not expect to see any emotional tears from him tomorrow, a la Arod, Big Mac, or Kobe Bryant. This will be a supremely orchestrated, practiced retinue to come off as sincere as possible, in the fakest way possible. He may be apologetic to his family and sponsors, but I doubt he feels any obligation to the public masses yet will try to win them back by blaming an addiction and claiming that he is human and makes mistakes just like everyone else. Maybe, just maybe, if his mother is in attendance and Elin sitting by his side, that will be enough to get under his skin and expose his inner id
The odds that anyone will come away from the press conference satisfied with what they heard is highly doubtful, yet it will still be gratifying to see the Tiger come out of hiding. I'm anxious to go to bed tonight just so tomorrow morning will come quicker. No chance i'm going to class, this is much more important

2 things
1) Put has 2 t's in it
2) Paragraphs end in periods.
*putt
maybe if i was in law school i'd have time to double check
Maybe if I was learning to be a doctor I wouldn't have to know how to write legibly.
That is hilarious that you misspelled putt while scorning me for misspelling the exact same word
Also, you ended point 2 with a period, but point 1 lacks such punctuation
I think this teaches us a valuable lesson to keep your mouth shut
