Steroids + golf is not a winning combination.

It was awesome that he thrived when he was juggling five mistresses and a family and as soon as his life gained some normalcy his game went to poo poo.

He did get it back together and get to #1 again after this. But it's the injuries that are doing him in.

Part of this is he has basically been playing competitive golf since he was 13 or something like that. His body has a LOT of miles on it.

Good move on Tiger's part. He's young enough that a year or even two is not his end. And it's more important he get his health back than compete in the Waste Management open at this point.

If I was Tiger - and I'm not, though I did drive by his house last week - a couple more majors is my one and only goal, so why not get healthy and go for that?

Goal is 5 majors and like 10 minors.

5 it is then. But my point still stands - he's not going to win those 5 while activating his glutes. He needs to get healthy both physically and mentally, and then come back. Take 2 years off and rebuild your body.

Tiger's cooler than most sports stars since he was a literal prodigy and was on tv at like the age of 4 golfing like a pro.

Professional football/soccer/basketball players all have "basically been playing competitive [fill in the blank] since they were 13" or younger. They last as long as Tiger in some cases and they've been playing actual sports, not golf. Golf is not a sport. That's why golf has a senior tour, which is still relatively competitive and full of people who have been playing since they were 13.

I don't think you understand pro golf an the amount of violence inflicted on your body during a swing.

Violence is not the right word. "Torque" is better. And if you are lucky enough to avoid back issues, you can play gold well your whole life. Lose your back health, however, and you're hosed.
