Are you tired of the Tiger Woods saga?

With so much happening in the world of sports including the Vancouver Olympic Games, most of us were almost able to forget about Tiger Woods. Almost.

In his first public statement since his Thanksgiving dust up with wife Elin, Tiger apologized to his friends, family, fans, and everyone else involved with him. My question is: does anybody still care? Is anyone else tired of the Tiger Woods saga?

I agree, if he had come out with a statement a month or two ago, I would have been glued to my television. Now, however, many in the sports world are tired of hearing about Tiger.

Yes, we all know he's cheated with more than a dozen women. Yes, he's a bad person who has a lot of problems. Yes, he's a great golfer. And yes, he will return to golf at some point.

Can't we just leave it at that and stop talking about Tiger Woods? When Tiger is set to return, which many are predicting will be in time for the Masters, let's re-open the debate and discuss all of Tiger Woods' indiscretions, his cheating, and what his golf game will look like.

For now, let's close this chapter and move on. If Tiger Woods comes back and wins the Masters and five more tournaments or ten more tournaments, good for him. Remember, he is the best golfer in the game. If Tiger Woods comes back and proves yet again that he doesn't belong in the same division as Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer when it comes to class, sportsmanship, and character, well, we already knew that. So again, it will be no surprise.

I truly hope Tiger Woods is sorry. I hope his public announcement wasn't just an effort to save his brand and his billion dollar empire. Hopefully, Tiger Woods has changed. It seems a little unrealistic to expect he is completely rehabilitated after such as short time. And personally, his recent announcement sounded like a carefully concocted batch of lies. Even the embrace with his mother seemed fake.

One thing is for sure, I'm sick of the Tiger Woods saga and I can't wait for it to be over. Goodbye Tiger Woods. I'll write about you again once you do something sports related.

Let the games begin.
