Money Could Not Buy Tiger’ Character

A couple of recent experiences got me thinking about character and how much it matters in determining life’s outcomes.
In this article, I would like to talk something about Tiger Woods. If you want to know much more golf clubs reviews, you may read this funny article about TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver review.
As I watched last weekend’s tournament, the big news was that Tiger Woods, once generally assumed to be headed for the title of Greatest Golfer Ever, did not even make the cut, likely concluding his worst year since he began playing professional golf — and that was shortly after he learned to walk. Actually, he made his television debut with a golf club when he appeared on the Mike Douglas Show at the age of 2 and shared the stage with Bob Hope.
Whether golf fans or not, most people know the Woods story. He won more golf tournaments at a young age than anyone ever had. He married a Swedish model and had two lovely children. He played around with lots of other women and his marriage ended spectacularly, involving, appropriately, a golf club and car collision with a fire hydrant.
Since then, his career has been in danger of becoming as big a failure as his marriage. He summarily fired his longtime caddy, who had stood by him through his troubles, and it is said he has abandoned high-profile friendships that flourished when times were good.
But the saddest of all, it seems to me, is that Tiger seems to have lost his spirit.
True, he has always been somewhat controversial, brash and self-assured to a fault. Yet, his exotic good looks and his amazing talent gave way to a popularity that in many ways eclipsed golf itself.
Now, the television announcers and sports analysts are left to talk about Tiger’s ignominious fall from grace instead of his ball-crushing swing or his incredibly accurate touch with a putter.
In the end, it just might come down to a matter of character. It seems that Tiger believed his press clippings even before he could read, and he saw himself as invincible long after he should have learned a little humility.
If only Tiger could live the words of Albert Einstein, who once said, “Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.” Golf is not life, even for a Tiger Woods. There has to be something more.
There are lots of ways to define a person. There are the physical attributes like height, weight, eye color. You know, the stuff they put on a driver’s license.
