Taking a Look at Tiger Woods

Bobby was born on March 17, 1902, in Atlanta, Georgia. As an infant many doctors did not believe he would survive. He suffered from a digestive disorder that he managed to overcome at the age of five. While most young children were out playing, he stayed home due to his ailments. With the encouragement from doctors, he began to play golf. They believed this sport would help to improve his strength.

No one could have predicted his incredible impact on both the game of golf and the society as a whole. Between spending time at the Tiger Woods Foundation and his awesome mastery of the elusive golf stroke, Tiger is well on his way to becoming an American icon along with Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretsky, Emmitt Smith, and many more sports heroes. In an interview, Michael Jordan said," Tiger will succeed and expand across all racial barriers. I admire him for establishing a higher plateau, a higher ground, if you will. I really do believe he was put here for a

According the author, because of Tiger's one mistake, he lost everything from his endorsements, family, friends and fans. He had spent more than decade perfecting his reputation and just like that it was gone (Ferguson). Tiger Woods's mistakes stand as a reminder that no matter how much temptation there is, one should always think twice before doing something they may regret later on.

True to form, Woods only got better in 2000, when he capped off an impressive first half of the year by winning his third major, the 2000 U.S. Open, in Pebble Beach, California. The No.1-ranked player in the world, Woods outclassed the competition by a record margin, winning the tournament by 15 strokes and breaking the standard for a major tournament set by Tom Morris at the 1862 British Open. In July 2000, Woods won the British Open, becoming--at 24--the youngest player ever to win all four major titles: the PGA Championship, the Masters, the U.S. Open, and the British Open. A month later, he successfully defended his 1999 title at the PGA Championship in a playoff victory, becoming only the second player (after Ben Hogan in 1953) to win three major titles in one year. He won the Canadian Open, his fifth tournament of the summer (out of the seven that he played), in September.

Golf came very easy to Arnold, and by the time Arnold was 17, he’d already won two state championships. He eventually a got a scholarship to Wake Forest University. He won three Atlantic Coast Conference Championships. When Arnold was a senior one of his closest friend and teammate, Bud Worsham, was killed in a car accident. His death shook up Arnold so much it made Arnold drop out of college, and joined the United States Coast Guard, starting a three-year hiatus from golf. By 1954, Palmer had turned to the game and resumed his golf career. That year, he won the second of two consecutive Ohio Amateaur Championships as well as the U.S. amateaur title. By the fall of 1954, he became pro.

Initially, Tiger Woods seemed to have it all: multiple golf tournament wins, endorsements from big names like Nike and Gillette, the wife Elin Nordegren, and two young kids. Life was going so well that the car accident Woods had on the day after Thanksgiving 2009 and subsequent infidelity scandal came as a shock; a shock not just to the golf world,

The following report examines how Tiger Woods’ functional and reputational core competencies have affected his professional life, specifically relating to his financial status as a marketing tool for golf companies. Prior to his 2009 scandal, Tiger Woods was ranked #1 in the world, one of the highest grossing athletes, and one of the leaders earning multiple lucrative endorsement deals. He made millions leverage his two major core competencies: functional (professional athleticism-based) and reputational (image-based). Functionally Tiger was one of the greatest golfers in the history of golf as a sport. Reputational-wise, Tiger was perceived as a positive role model demonstrating strong and confident manhood and

Due to the extreme levels of male camaraderie shown throughout the book, a counterbalance of estrogen was created and served to enhance the recurring theme of death. In Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, Catherine’s starch and stereotypical feminine traits (such as her loyalty and intelligence) are explored by Hemingway through devices like foreshadowing and symbolism to solidify the morbidity of this work.

He won the Optimist International Junior World Championship six times at the age of eight, nine, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen. At age fourteen, he competed in a Tournament in Paris, France and was named the Southern California Player of the Year. At fifteen, he was the youngest ever to win the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship and repeated as champion the next two years, the only player to have accomplished this feat. That same year he won the AJGA player of the year award, the Golf Digest Player of the Year, the Titleist-Golfweek National Amateur of the Year, and was named a first team Rolex Junior All-American. At age sixteen he won many of these same awards, and participated in his first professional event, The Nissan Los Angeles Open, and won the first of his three successive Golf World Player of the Year Awards. At the age of 17 he won the Dial Award given to the top national high school male athlete for 1993. That year he also accepted a full scholarship to Stanford University, an honor reflecting not only his tremendous golfing ability but also his academic achievements.

Simply by being famous your life becomes restricted, you cannot behave like “normal people” because you are always being looked at or judged or written about. For tiger this was the case ever since he could remember because at the age of two he was on TV because of his unique golfing talents. Being in his position means a normal personal family problem turns into media fodder.

In thirteen years of golf, Tiger Woods has made over a billion dollars making him the highest paid athlete ever. He has been the highest paid athlete now for five years in a row. We all know that many people in the world watch him play every weekend and admire him, but is the amount of entertainment he provides really worth 128 million dollars a year? Tiger is only one of many professional athletes who are extremely overpaid. “People forget that sports is entertainment,” says Leonard Armato, a sports agent. Although professional athletes provide entertainment for millions of viewers around the world, they are overpaid because the millions of dollars that they make could be distributed more evenly throughout society and go to things of a
