Is Tiger Woods' Masters win the greatest redemption story in sports history?

[@SkyPilot54]

Hogan

[@bradfreemantle9112]

The Herd with Colin Cowherd no I hate him, he’s a terrible person and I hope he never wins again. Go Phil!!! Tiger is one of the worst human beings of all time and not even close to a role model!!!

[@martindube9886]

Colin Cowherd there was a chap by the name of Muhammad Ali who came back from from 4 years of political exile and had to face the most fearsome boxers of his generation George Foreman with all his speed and power gone. I was 8 years old and woke up early in what was then called Rhodesia to hear him knock Foreman out.

[@zeuscaponeful]

@The Herd with Colin Cowherd Now he is your favorite golfer when just last year you were questioning why everyone was ramping up the 🐅 comeback with such excitement when he won the 2018 Tour Championship. You told everyone to calm down chances are he was going to let us down again, and as far as winning any more majors chances are he was done doing that, simply because he wasn't getting any younger and the field of golfers at these majors were so much deeper than the decade he dominated. Which is it Colin?

[@zeuscaponeful]

@@bradfreemantle9112 you sound stupid, quit being a hater, or not. Don't hold your breath on your wish hoping 🐅 never wins again cause it's gonna happen. As far as your "go Phil" comment , you might wanna do some research on how pure the quality of a human Phil is he isn't in the running for Human Being of the year himself. Let me guess, go DJ, or Al heil Rory. It's what I mean when you sound stupid. Just sayin

[@daveisabeastly2024]

Ok

[@fliksliktrik]

Tiger had more to overcome: physically, emotionally, mentally, and personally. It's a redemption story. I never thought he'd win again, either. But I wasn't rooting against him. It was a great sports moment. And, don't forget, he beat the best of the best. All the top players were at Augusta and he came out on top.

[@christophersneed3462]

"That sounds like an autopsy." Laughed at that! Great line.

[@chrisclancy2748]

Colin, this is without a doubt the best piece written I have seen on the topic. From his dominance to downfall and climb back to the top, you nailed everything and in such a professional yet laid back way. “Tiger, we owe you one” was absolutely brilliant. Being 24 I can only faintly remember sitting with my dad in his room watching tiger finish his rounds in complete dominating fashion. But being around for his demise and watching and rooting for him on this seamlessly never ending comeback has made this victory so much sweeter for me. You are absolutely spot on with the comment that we all love him more because of the mistakes and thing he went through that make him like so many of us. For the sport of golf and all of sports all over the world, I hope we see much more of tiger at the top on Sunday’s!

[@LJDS1979]

America loves a good comeback/redemption story, and Tiger is just that...

[@Blaquegold]

This was actually a very good message. Thank you!

[@r2b2sw25]

In the late 90s Tiger got more people to play his sports than anyone I can remember...white, black, Asian...it didn’t matter...golf brought us together for even a short period of time because Tiger inspired us all...

[@radamus210]

Watching this makes me want to share a personal moment. My mother has been in a retirement community going on almost a year. She's been failing in her health and sometimes when we visited those moments when she was "with us" were getting shorter. On Masters weekend my sister, also a golfer and and Tiger fan, was visiting with mom. They watched on Saturday and mom was getting into it somewhat but said "Oh honey, he's been through so much, I'd love to see him win but I just don't know" Then on Sunday mom was on edge through the whole round, early in the morning which she's never up before mid-day - Mom was yelling and rooting for Tiger and was just like her old self as we hadn't seen her in a long time. This is one of the moments my sisters and I will remember because she was alive and filled with it like we hadn't seen in so long. My mom passed a week ago today but it's pretty cool that she got to go up to heaven and shout to all of them up there that "Tiger is back" .... I don't know if they already knew, but I can damn sure tell you they knew when mom got there.

[@avigrett1484]

This brought tears to my eyes.Thank you.

[@radamus210]

@@avigrett1484 Wow man, I'd forgotten about this post. Tomorrow, the 25th is the anniversary of our mother's passing. Impossible to forget, my oldest sisters birthday. Thanks for the thoughts. Another reason to smile because my mother was unforgettable for anyone who met her.

[@valon8523]

Spot on...exactly how I felt watching him win!

[@chriscarradice9277]

It's not just America who were united behind tiger. Anybody with a heart or soul was rooting for him.

Poetic summation of Tiger Woods' win on yesterday. Breath-takingly beautiful moment in sports history and I am grateful to see it happen in my lifetime. Thanks for the commentary Mr. Colin Cowherd, you're the best.

[@KongListBlog]

Who gives a f*ck about the world's most boring sport - scientific fact.

[@12WeMet1]

Colin is the best in the business. He’s wrong sometimes, sure, but when he’s right he’s really freakin right.

[@CG-vn8iy]

He's a blowhard that's more interested in hot takes than rational thoughts.

[@markdemell8056]

Hockey here in Canada brought us all together like nothing else ,I remember when my Blackhawks won the cup in 2010 ,I had tears in my eyes ,tears of joy like never before! I could just imagine what the Players were feeling. I was rooting for Tiger ,I even said it around two weeks ago that he would win again! It,s nice to be right when so many so called experts said he was done! Told ya so!

For me to listen to Cowherd for a second, you know this has to be something special.

[@angrybusdriver5656]

Best commentary yet in my opinion about Tigers miraculous win

[@youngblood23rb]

As Humans we rise and fall, watching someone struggle, scratch, and claw for years, to reach the top once again is truly inspiring, and I am honored to have witnessed. Thank you Tiger, we are on our feet celebrating, thinking in our minds that we too can overcome some of the self-inflicted adversity in our own lives

[@paolee2730]

Tiger Wood is the Michael Jordan of Golf today. This is a great comeback story, especially going thru all those injuries in recent years.

[@ultimatebulldog2824]

Collin this is a W. Explained this perfectly.

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

That was a more humble win from Tiger Woods. Remarkable win. I thought Francesco Molinari was going to win until he found the water again at number 15.

[@iammars142]

Yeah. I was thinking that there would at least be a playoff, however Tiger's birdies at 15 and 16 were just too clutch.

[@redfirebird2008]

Still can't believe he actually won. Feels very surreal, which is hilarious considering this dude was the most dominant golfer ever and there was no shock about him winning tournaments in his prime. This one is a huge shock though.

[@hausy]

When I was a kid learning to golf, Tiger was dominant and it’s just so great to see him win again years later. It’s a wonderful comeback story.

[@PinkStarburst717]

You made my eyes water Colin 🙏🏼 Thank you

[@FreedomFighter2112]

It's simple and yet deep. We are all imperfect and we all recognize that no matter who you or we are, we all deserve a second or even third chance. Tiger Woods, represents all of us! We all have had are ups and down, we have gone thew the severe lows in life. Tiger and his life reminds of us and the tribulations that we have gone there and are going though. And most importantly, he and his story reminds that there's always a chance to comeback, survive, and thrive!

[@JD-fg1nx]

Tiger life could be a box office movie after winning the masters.

[@realist7934]

[@johnmauceri21]

Even though you’re horrible for going after Mayfield, this was a beautiful message. I have watched and loved Tiger my entire life. I’m only 17, so that means I remember more bad than good. My brother and I would go crazy over Tiger for every tournament he was in because it was an obsession to see him win again. The only memory I had of him winning were only mere images, and to see him win this tournament was the greatest feeling ever. I’m a Cleveland fan, and this meant more to me than the Cavs winning it in 2016. That’s how much Tiger means to his fans.

[@PatriceLynn.]

Beautiful, poetic and moving monologue, Colin. Very well done, my man.

[@nevermindme313]

We love the chaos of building someone up, bringing them down from a pedestals created & watching them bounce back to glory. We have a passive emotional attraction towards Tigers story. It represents us in ways. Things coming full circle. Appearing too perfect causes resentment. Even from people who “love” you. We like to see the rise and fall. It’s an emotional roller coaster. Most peoples lives aren’t polarizing enough. There is no real success or failure. Just mediocrity and routine. We love the comeback story & mythology. The humanity of Tiger comes out once it’s discovered he has weaknesses. We see that in ourselves. The USA is the land of second chances for a reason. We are a VERY forgiving culture. That’s what Tiger represents.

[@JayAyers]

It was such a magical weekend. First time watching all 4 rounds. Back when Tiger was ripping things up, I had school and afterschool activities. Now we have smartphones and devices to see this. You can tell, even in R1, that Tiger had focus and the body to do well. I honestly thought he would get close but had hoped he won it all. You're right, it felt like rooting for a family member. He's been through a lot and its so amazing to see this man change so much while still remaining Tiger.

[@boxscoresports1860]

Also the most people have agreed in the comments of a Colin Cowherd video

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Tiger woods came back from the bottom and he showed every one that he had problems. Everyone has problems and how we deal with them defines us. Tiger woods showed people he can be the best golfer on the planet after being on the bottom. This is what everyone knows tiger woods put himself together from the bottom and beat the best pga players on the planet to win another major.
