2008 - The Year Of The Tiger - What Will He Do In 2009?

2008 was quite a year for golf and in a curtailed season, also for Tiger Woods.

To win the US Open at Torrey Pines last year with a shattered left leg was truly unbelievable. Remember it took him 91 holes to win that trophy, and to do so with such an injury was just incredible.

As much as we were all impressed with him before, it is the real mark of the man by the way he said very little about the severity of his pain during the championship. It was another example of how he handles himself. He doesn't run around boasting and telling people how good he is. He just goes about his business.

Tiger will be back in 2009 and although nobody knows how he will react to his knee surgery, he will have all of the intensity and determination he had before.
