Growing up I felt privileged to watch one of the greatest golfers of all time do what he does best. But in recent years, his personal life has gotten in the way of that. What makes matters worse is that the media will not let him live it down either.
Tiger Woods is one of the most incredible golfers, if not the most, of all time. For a few years now he has had problem after problem after problem, hindering him from playing the world’s greatest game. Between his injuries and problems with his personal life, I haven’t heard much about him golfing in a long time. And personally, I’m sick of hearing about the negatives.
People make mistakes!
And yes he may have screwed up by cheating on his wife and every other scandal, but who are we to judge? Everyone has made a mistake and done something wrong, and I am sure other golfers have problems as well. But I think that people just held him to such a high standard that they were just sitting and waiting until he screwed up, and now they won’t let him live it down.
Personally I feel like what happens off the course should stay off the course. Do not let what has happened make everyone forget what he has done for the sport, and how amazing he is. I feel like if everyone supported him again, or even just stop with all the negative media, that he would step back up to the plate and get back in the game.
Although he has injuries and that has been what has held him back most recently, but wouldn’t you think that with a little moral support he would fight through those? I recently read that some of his injuries were from him doing some extreme training, that Tiger was just “trying to feel like a true athlete”. That makes me think that he has lost who he is and looking for something to fill it. And I think some support could help him find that and become the World’s greatest golfer again.
Showing someone they matter and you care is one of the best ways to strengthen them. I just wish fans would remember what he has done for golf, and forget what else he has done. Let’s silence the roar of the crowd, and let Tiger roar once again.
