Tiger and Rory "Will there be a latter glory":

As I watched the Masters golf tournament yesterday I thought about both Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. After well publicized issues in his private life and a change in how he plays the game one could ask is he about to enjoy a latter glory. The question for all people when we go through trials and tribulations whether due to our own actions or extenuating circumstances is do we have the passion and the desire to come back and go to even greater heights. As for Rory McIlroy after watching him lose his lead in the manner that he did when so many people were crowning him the winner the night before, there is no doubt that he will have to win a major to get this out of the minds of people and himself. As for Tiger Woods I think the answer is yes that he will enjoy a latter glory. We all fall at points of our life but the question is do we get back up and continue despite the naysayers. Athletics and entertainment have always been two arenas where those who fall if they have the passion and willingness to go through the storm can enjoy a latter glory that can take them to greater heights than before. Muhammad Ali. Kobe Bryant, Robert Downey Jr. are examples of people who were able to come back from the storm and enjoy greater heights of success. As for Rory while it remains to be seen I think he will come back strong. He is young and quite talented. Storms come in our lives but if the passion is there we can weather them and enjoy the latter glory.
