How often have you heard these words said when a sports legend retires from the game? Michael Jordan and our own Brian O’Driscoll come to mind and more recently the legendary Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. Time, you see, waits for no one. It does not recognise greatness – nor is it sentimental.
Tiger Woods’ press conference yesterday given as host of his own Hero World Challenge event only confirmed reality: that he is indeed a spent force in the game of golf now dominated by the younger generation.
Sad as this may seem, Tiger’s body language seemed to suggest that he too finally recognises this fact and for the greatest golfer of his generation that must be truly a crushing blow.
