1. Worst event ever as a professional golfer...
according to espn.com

AKRON, Ohio -- Tiger Woods concluded his worst event as a professional golfer on Sunday morning by shooting a 77 at the Bridgestone Invitational, capping a stunning week that saw him shoot 18-over par for four rounds and finish in a tie for 78th in an 80-player field.

It was not the tournament anyone expected from the No. 1 player in the world -- a distinction that could come to an end later in the day -- at a place where he typically dominates, having won seven times and never finished worse than a tie for fifth in 11 previous appearances at Firestone Country Club.

"Shooting 18-under par is not fun,'' Woods said afterward. "I don't see how it can be fun shooting 18 over, especially since my handicap is supposed to be zero. ... It's tough. Yeah, it's tough.''

Woods, whose personal life has been in disarray since his Thanksgiving accident, said his performance "doesn't surprise me at all, actually.'' Later, he would only say, "It's been a long year.''

4. What the hell has happened is that reality of his situation has finally caught up with him.
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 08:45 AM by rocktivity
His world has been turned upside down, his psyche has been laid bare, his credibility is gone, his honor mortally wounded. He's shamed and lost a lot of friends, fans, and sponsors. Until his marital situation is finally resolved, he can't move on, which makes it next to impossible for him to get back to his game. That's exactly why I suggested he take the entire year off: By next January, he would have been in a better place mentally, and without Tiger, the PGA's fortunes would be circling the drain.

6. I recall
When they were showing clips of his press conference he was asked about his troubles on the field he responded, "it's been a long year." When he was pressed if it was off the field issues he wouldn't elaborate, just kept repeating, "it's been a long year."

So I think you may be correct.
