So Tiger shot an 80 today in the 1st round of the US Open. If you were Tiger what would you do?
A) Retire. He doesn't need this crap. He'll still go down, at worst, the 2nd best golfer ever, but fall short of Jack. Just retire. Get out of spotlight, hook up with babes and count money.
B) Status quo. Keep playing the majors and a few other big tournaments, even though his game is shot. Just hope that by playing 10 times a year, that he'll eventually regain some form and possibly win a few more majors in the process. In the meantime, when you have a bad round, just blame it on injuries and pull out of the tournament to stop further embarrassment.
C) Increase the grind. He'll never get better if he doesn't play and playing only majors and a select other few isn't enough. Start playing every week, even the 2nd rate tournaments. Be humble, take your lumps, do your walk of "Shame" in order to get back on top.
D) Time off. Something is wrong, again. Take another 6 months to a year off, away from the spotlight. Get healthy, mentally and physically, then return when better, even if better never happens.
