With the serious illness of his dad, Tiger Woods is taking a break from his golf clubs and the PGA tour. He has not set a specific timetable for his return to golf.

Over the years, Tiger and his dad have talked about and the sports writers have written about the strong bond between father and son. I know that I, like many others, extend my thoughts and prayers to Tiger and his family.

Sometimes in the world of sports and entertainment, the stars aren’t always family focused or sincere in the things they show publicly when they are in private. As Tiger has succeeded as a professional golfer, there was no doubt of his tremendous talent with the golf clubs.

For a while, however, I wasn’t sure about the man behind the golf clubs. I didn’t think that he was a bad guy, I just wondered what kind of man was Tiger. But as he has matured, I believe that he has shown the kind of man that he is beyond the golf course. In many ways

Tiger is doing what any man would do. But it just reminded me of the man that I believe he has become in a world where being a star and a quality person is a tough thing to do.
