Will oxygen chamber help Tiger Woods’ game? Which game?


Will a specially designed oxygen chamber in his Florida home help Tiger Woods’ game? Which game?

The real question is: Why would Tiger Woods include plans for an oxygen chamber in his new Florida home?

I ran onto a story online today that says the plans for the controversial golfer’s property in Jupiter, Florida, include specifications to build such a room. The same article said Woods revealed that he’s undergone oxygen therapy in one of those hyperbaric chambers that were made famous some years ago by rock star Michael Jackson. Such chambers use high atmospheric pressure and pure oxygen to supposedly boost health and the immune system, perhaps lessen signs of aging, etc. They’ve even been credited with curing lifelong allergies.

Nothing in the story I read gave details about what sort of oxygen chamber this would be or how it would be used — nor just what sort of oxygen treatment or therapy Woods has undergone in the past.

We can safely assume his oxygen chamber or room is far more elaborate and costly than, say, the portable oxygen concentrator which might be prescribed for you and I by a physician, and probably it goes beyond the simple oxygen tubes like my wife was put on during a recent hospital stay.

I wonder what sort of therapy Woods is looking for from the room — something to dampen his womanizing tendency, perhaps, or something to heal the physical problems plaguing his golf game? Or both?

Sorry. Didn’t mean to come off cynical there. Just couldn’t help myself where Woods is concerned.

End of sermonette for today!
