WASHINGTON (CNN) -- After dominating the golf world for the last decade, is Tiger Woods considering a foray into politics?
The professional golfer, who was in Washington on Wednesday to officially announce that his foundation will host a golf tournament in the Washington area next summer, did not dismiss the possibility he might one day have political aspirations.
Asked at a National Press Club event if a political future was in the cards, the 31 year-old did not rule it out, saying he has had experience "meeting influential people in the political arena" but does not know where his "future lies."
And best of all: I hear he's a Republican.
In a Townhall column last month, Herman Cain suggested 2016 as the date for a Tiger run. I respectfully disagree. As a fan of the game, I want to give him plenty of time to rack up his 25 or 30 majors, which he'll be doing well into his 40s. And as a political junkie, I want eight more years to speculate about Tigermania.
Here's the plan: Woods wins the 2023 Masters at 47 (Nicklaus was 46 when he last won at Augusta) which is just the lead-in he needs to launch his exploratory committee. It'll be a late start -- but look at it this way: raising money won't be a problem for him.
