Tiger Woods was eliminated by Tim Clark earlier this afternoon in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. As a casual golf fan you may think this is a big deal but it really isn't. Woods has won this chamionship multiple times, but he has been ousted early before, even losing to Australian Peter O'Malley in the first match in 2002.
Don't know who Tim Clark is, he is this guy:
For Woods, even though he almost certainly is displeased with outcome, is probably happy that he is finally back playing golf again and can concentrate on winning majors rather than his knee.
Now, for those out there who think Tiger Woods is done because of this loss, I would like to remind you that this type of format anything can happen and even Tiger Woods can go down. If he doesn't have his best day, he doesn't have the next day to make up for it like a usual tournament. Remember, its one loss and your done, just like March Madness.
Although Woods is out, this tournament, especially Saturday, its unique to the tour and you should tune in. The players knock out two rounds in one day, reminiscent of the old days when Bobby Jones was playing and tournaments took only two days with thirty six holes apiece.
Anyway, Woods it out, and I'm not exactly sure what event he plans to play next but look for him to bounce back strong.
