It's been just about a year since Tiger Woods' car accident.

Do you remember exactly where you were when you heard about Tiger Woods?

Yeah, me too.

It all happened so suddenly, didn’t it?

A giant was rendered powerless faster than it takes to say “Winless in 2010,” which is exactly what Tiger Woods was this season.

Whether Woods will view his season with anger or apathy is uncertain.  After all, the former No. 1-ranked player in the world for more than 250 weeks was not accustomed to his season highlights being defined by a couple of T4’s at the majors, a few solid finishes in the Fed-Ex Cup and a slew of mediocre performances, highlighted by a T78 in a field of 80 players at the WGC-Bridgestone at Firestone.

Watching Woods compete this season was like being stuck in some kind of parallel universe. He still threw clubs, wore red on Sundays, rarely smiled and blended emotional volatility and total stoicism during competition.

But the only difference was that in between all of that, he wasn’t winning.

Actually, scratch that. He kind of just looked like the other guys.

Like golf was hard for him.

It was as if he couldn’t visualize the correct line of the double-breaking putt over a mountainous tier of a putting green faster than a table-top.

Or that he couldn’t draw his ball around a gigantic tree for 30 yards and then have it magically stop on command within three feet of the hole.

To be frank, he was an inconsistent mess.

This season, Woods had just one tournament where he shot all four rounds under par.

That’s like saying Ray Allen didn’t make a free-throw last season or that Albert Pujols didn’t get a hit.

The only thing consistent about Tiger this season was, ironically, his inconsistency. There’s no reason behind seas...
