Redemption

Redemption

Tiger Woods has come all the way back today to win the 2019 Masters golf tournament.  As a winner of 14 majors, 3 Amateurs titles, and over 80 wins across the world he is accustomed to winning. 

Tiger, Bobby Jones, and Arnie Palmer have done more for the game of golf perhaps than anyone. 

He was on top of the world, the most recognizable figure in sports.  He had fame, money, success, and family. But that wasn't enough and he fell like so many of us we after all are only human.  The difference with Tiger's fall is that it was in the public eye, millions of fans felt let down and disappointed.   

As a big fan of Tiger's for all the magical golf moments he gave us, there was disappointment for selfish reasons but also hope. We all loved watching Tiger play golf.

Tiger endured knee and back surgeries, his road back was long and arduous.  Just like the road to redemption is hard and full of setbacks. But with forgiveness and faith anything is possible.  

And so it is.  The undoable has been done.  Eleven years after his last major victory and with many of us proclaiming him "done" and "finished" he has won his 5th Masters and 15th major.  

As the laconic Jim Nance would say,  "A Return to Glory"! 

Tiger's story is inspirational for all us.  He made it back from the depths of despair, his spirit and body were broken, his fall from grace was long and painful.  But there is always hope and with the faith of a mustard seed we can move mountains. 

So Tiger has been renewed and restored.  Let ii be for all of us.
