PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Tiger Woods does not figure to be picking up a golf club anytime soon. Much to the dismay of tournament organizers in Detroit and Minneapolis, he will instead spend time with his family, decompressing from one major championship, then trying to build back up to another.
That he will again go the space of time between major championships without playing in a regular tournament will undoubtedly be cause for criticism, and seeing how that strategy did not work out so great prior to the PGA Championship, well ... fair enough.
But any such conjecture is looking at Woods through the prism of golfing machine rather than human being.
