Item  from the Associated Press -- "Tiger Woods could be in for some more time on the sidelines after withdrawing from the final round of The Players Championship with a neck injury." See the video.

"He was supposed to be on the ninth hole at The Players Championship. In another stunning twist for someone whose life used to be so predictable, Woods withdrew suddenly with neck pain that he fears might be a bulging disk. Woods was so frustrated that he slammed his golf shoe to the floor while taking questions from three reporters. 'I've been playing through it,' Woods said of pain he first felt before the Masters. "I can't play through it anymore.' "

Okay, Tiger Woods, on a journey toward sports glory,  had to drop out of a tournament. So? The Tiger  is not a character who has stepped out of the movies. He is not a sports hero who sprung to life from Greek myth. Tiger Woods is a human being. Today, Sunday, May 9th, he had to drop out of The Players Championship because  he is a human being . Sure, we hope that he is the man of destiny who will make history, by leaving the records of all of the other great golfers in the dust of the past. He still has roads to travel.  And he still has time to pass the goal.
