Tiger – Golfing legend but still human
golf blog - tiger is human
Tiger Woods – the name conjures images of a golfing legend, a superstar sportsman who’s name is always mentioned when we are debating things like best sportsmen of all time, best of the best, etc.
His talent on the golf course is unquestionable, unwavering and all conquering. Golfers of all ages look to emulate his talent, his style and his look right across the golfing planet. On the golf course he is without doubt – the King!
These last few weeks the situation off the course has become a nightmare for Tiger with the now well covered list of ‘trangressions’ covered in the media. Even those few non-golfers out there who for some reason hadn’t yet heard of Tigers golfing exploits are now hearing his name and talking about his off course exploits and discussing them around the water cooler.
These transgressions of course bring into serious doubt Tigers moral compass when it comes to fidelity. But does this change his ability to play golf, or how he approaches each new shot. Of course not.
How Tiger handles his off course ‘transgressions’ will measure Tiger as a man and a role model in society but when it comes to the Golf course he is and will remain for many years to come a force to be reckoned with.
