No it was not because Tiger Woods was there. It was because Hester wanted to be with Dimmesdale. In the end she is buried with him and that is why she never took off the scarlet letter. When Dimmesdale confesses, he basically says that they will never be together again because he was going to hell, while she, Hester, was going to heaven. Hester does not want to believe it so what she does is that she never takes off the scarlet letter because she does not want to be redeemed, she wants to keep the letter on her breast so when she dies she will meet up with him in hell or wherever it is the Dimmesdale was going. By dying in the same situation that Dimmesdale did, she has hope that they will meet up together again be it hell or heaven. That is why she returns to Boston. She does it so she can be buried with him because she has hope that they'll be together again in the afterlife.
