re: Tiger taking an indefinite leave from golf

He didn't throw in the towel because of his play

He threw in the towel because his mind was not able to stand the pain.

Sometimes pain is a message to the brain to stop a repetitive behavior. He got the message.

He is on the long down hill slide. Maybe he comes back.
Maybe not.

He's talented enough that if he rests, he can win one big one if he just focuses on one major.
He won't be a tour regular and have big time success.
He's never going to be that guy again. He can pick his spots, if he is lucky.
Maybe he never ever gets it back.

I am sure Ladbroke in England will give you odds on his winning the 2018 Open Championship of the world. Don't take a second mortgage out.
