Today is Tiger’s 34th birthday and it will obviously be the worst one of his life.

When I was still Pastor of the now defunct “First Church of Tiger Woods” I always feared that Tiger, like many other great talents, would die far too early. I was most concerned about the year he was 33, which has taken several important historical figures. I always assumed that if Tiger died it would be in a car accident. I just never figured that it would be his reputation which would be killed off because of a car accident while he was 33, but that is indeed what has ended up happening.

While real news surrounding the Tiger scandal has pretty much stopped for now, it is interesting to note that for the first time in memory The Golf Channel is NOT officially doing “Tiger Week” to celebrate his birthday, though they are running a lot of Tiger-related programing. Gee, I wonder why. Just one of the hundreds of things that have happened in the last month that I never thought were possible.

Meanwhile, I understand Osama bin Laden has been trying to get in touch with Tiger to get tips on how not to be found.
