Has anyone else noticed the softening of Tiger Woods’ intimidating red shirts on Sunday? Gone from Sunday at San Diego were the rubines and the deep maroons.
Disappeared from Dubai were the carmines and crimsons that triumphed in major championships of yore.
Maybe, just maybe, the softer reds (some call this one ’salmon’) are the influence of his lovely wife. Perhaps, just perhaps, he is so darned intimidating that he doesn’t need the powerful scarlets and falus that remind his opponents that he is out for blood. Just a thought on a boring Monday morning.

He seems to know, instinctively, what it will take to kill the competition without having to blow them away. The dark reds were too much and it's a sign of his marriage, no doubt about it, that he has eased off on the macho stuff a little.
Did you know he has stated emphatically that when he has kids, his schedule will change radically and his focus will move away from winning titles and more towards golf. That's a very responsible thing for a man with no children to say. He is a very intelligent (and well-managed) young man.
Tiger may have to miss the next event after lifting the trophy in Dubai. He contacted his contractor to add another trophy room on his new Miami digs to hold the Dubai prize.
I very much doubt Tiger said that. He may have said, 'I will always put my family before golf' - fair enough, of course your wife and kids are more important than golf! - but Tiger plays golf to win. He's said that so many times.
When Tiger no longer plays golf to win, he will retire. Now that is something he HAS said.
