Taking a Look at Tiger Woods

Mcilroy’s father introduced him to golf when he could barely walk and he instantly fell in love with the game. He was already hitting a 40-yard drive when he was 2. At the age of 9, Mcilroy had his first notable international win in the 9 to 10 age division at the World Championships in Miami, Florida (“Mcilroy Biography,” 2015). Rory’s father and mother worked multiple jobs to support his golf education when he was young. Rory’s handicap was a scratch when he was only 13 year old. This is better than about 99 percent of golfers throughout the world. Mcilroy’s father and friends made a prediction that he would win his first

“2 days till the legendary Tiger Woods tees off and the world is happy to see him make his return. But the question remains, is he ready for Masters after his appalling last game?” the News reader asked the viewers

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.

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

Speech Goal: I would like to give everybody an insight on Tiger Wood’s life. I will talk about his early childhood, golf career, and the scandal that became his downfall.

It didn’t take long for Jones to develop a love for the sport of golf.

No one knows exactly what the future holds for Tiger woods, but some speculate. Of course, He will win more tournaments and dazzle spectators with awesome tee shots and amazing putts. He will sell more Nike Tennis shoes and American Express cards. He will continue to donate time and resources to helping the youth of our country. Maybe he will become so good at golf that the PGA will have to create a new game, as Nascar does whenever a new type of car is built.

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,

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.

He was winning tournaments over professional golfers. In 1986, he came fourth in the Masters. Jack Nicklaus told him he was good enough to play the American tour. He was the first to coming close to winning the Masters, PGA Championship, the British and U.S Open. He came very close and only won the British Open, but came close in the final round in all the other tournaments. Greg beat Nicklaus in the Canadian Open which started to help prove him to be the best golfer in 1986. He was the number one golfer for three hundred and thirty one consecutive weeks. As he proved to be the best golfer in the world, Greg was about to experience some tough

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.

Q. Do golfers enjoy having a digital map of each hole that includes distances to the pins as well as distances to the hazards?

On the more functional-side, winning is still the primary indicator of how well Tiger is accepted back into society as a whole. One strategy is for Tiger to win for major golf championships: the Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, The Open, and the PGA Championship. Tiger still has his unique name and style also to his advantage. He is amongst many equally talented golf professionals, but few are as well-known as Tiger. The Tiger Woods brand is able to bring value to all stakeholders involved, increasing his added value from both the reputational and function stand point regarding his endorsement companies and team collaborators. Stakeholders and Woods assist each other by reciprocating the benefits of having Tiger as a strong athlete and celebrity, as well as name
