As the 2012 PGA Period of service season tees off this month, golf fans
wonder which Tiger will show up this year. Will he be the queer
player who has struggled recently with aches of the body and soul?
Or perhaps, as his many followers ambition, Tiger will again be the
transformational athlete who ignited an explosion of money and
media notice on the tour 15 years ago.
Sadly, though, no matter how Woods plays this year, the sudden
growth he stimulated in the professional golf industry has slowed.
In the gen, the “Tiger Bubble” has gone the way of other
semi-irrational solvent flurries of the 21st century. Moreover,
and to the surprise of some, the Bubble lost steam several years
ago.
The Blister didn’t pop on Nov. 27, 2009, when Woods wrecked his
Cadillac SUV. It didn’t disintegrate in reaction to revelations about
his personal life the following month, or because of his uneven
piece and injuries in 2010 and 2011. The Bubble had already
descended to more sustainable heights in advanced 2005.
