GOOD AND BAD SIDE OF WOODS
Professional golf player Tiger Woods was born in Cyprus, California on December 30, 1975. Woods won the U.S. Masters at Augusta in 1997 with a record score at the age of 21. He was the youngest man and first African American to earn the title. In 2009, Woods took a break from golf and returning in 2010, but as his personal life took a turn for the worse, the golfer was not at the top of his game.
In late November, reports surfaced about a tryst between Woods and nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel. Both parties denied a relationship, despite photographic evidence that seemed to indicate otherwise. The golfer remained silent on the matter, and mysteriously dropped out of his charity golf tournament, the Chevron World Challenge. He then announced that he would not be attending any other tournaments in 2009.
Due to this problem Woods stop playing golf for a while and he also has lost his endorsement deal with management company, Accenture and was suspended from his Gilette endorsement. But, other companies like Nike, Tag Heuer and EA Sports, continue to stand by Woods. Because they know Wood is still a best golfer in the world. They pushed aside what has Wood done and keep continue on sponsoring him.
However, Woods made a return to golf in April of 2010, but the golfer was not quite at the top of his game. His first competition at the 2010 Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, ended in a fourth place spot for Woods. Woods made his return to golf after suffering a neck injury four weeks later at The Memorial Tournament. Apparently he ends up a worst finishing at the tournament since 2002. At 2010 U.S. Open, Woods finished the tournament in a tie for fourth place.
Refer back to the article given it stated that ‘the girls still love Woods’. After what has he done his fans especially women still appreciate him. From my point of view, Tiger Woods is the world best golfer in the world. Things that happened to Woods can happen to anyone in this world. Just because of his one single fault people than start to talk bad and look down of him. Look at what has he done before especially regarding his contribution to his country in term of sport. He has brings up his country name in the whole world.
When hear Woods is participating in the tournament than other golfer will start to fell worried because they know they can’t easily to beat him. For me he is a legend so don’t get easily to judge him just because he has a bad personal life story. It has nothing to do with people around the world.
I am not saying that what Woods do is good, it’s obviously unethical for a person to do and I can’t deny it. Having an affair with lots of women it’s certainly wrong and unethical. But again I say it just his personal life and it could happen to anyone either it being noticed or not. I am pro Woods when comes about his game only. That’s why in the article say the girls still love Woods and still shouting ‘get in the hole’ at him during the play.
Even though the girls supposed to be sad and curse on him but they still support him during the tournament. When comes about game they pushed aside what they have feeling on him. They still were cheering on him. It is because the fans are still appreciating the Wood due to his well performance and the contribution that he has made to the country. I am strongly agreed that a good player must come with a good manner or ethic. If not it would end up like Tiger Wood. He was a good player but due to his own mistake he has digging his own grave. The result is the sponsorship start to pull or take back what they have given to the Woods and stop immediately sponsoring him. He lost everything in a single second. Fans start to lose faith on him then he start to suffer a high tension in his life. As the result he won’t be able to perform well in his tournament and his reputation is going down. The Woods story must be a lesson to all players and athlete that having a good ethic and manner is needed too apart from give a good performance in their sport. Without a good ethic you can’t go any further on your career even though you were a good player.
Imagine this if a kid makes the Wood as his role model, what will happen to this kid? If he was big enough to understand the situation absolutely he we fell frustrated toward him but if he not, I am afraid he will follow certainly on what his role model has done. Because for him Wood is everything a person that he want to follow and want to be. So it is clearly show here that either you were an athlete or not having a good ethic is more important than anything. We suppose to take a lesson on people story like Woods and make it as a guide so that we won’t become like that in the future.
