No one can argue that Tiger Woods is #1 in the golfing world and in the lives of individuals who have followed his incredible career. We have stood beside him, cheered him on, and hailed him as a hero.
Better yet, ten million young people have been touched by the Tiger Woods Foundation, an organization founded by Tiger and his father, Earl, to promote character development, setting goals, and achieving your dreams through applying yourself.
Tiger Woods claims that the foundation was established on the character traits he learned from his parents: Integrity, Honesty, Discipline, Responsibility and Fun.
Nike, one of Tiger’s sponsors, even went so far as to create what ESPN claims was the most profound TV commercial in sports history known as I am Tiger Woods. Children of every nationality have been inspired by Tiger Woods’ story and ability to show that hard work pays off. It truly has been a phenomina.
It wasn’t just the golf, or the life-long dream realized that made us fall in love with Tiger. It was the man, his story, his dedication, his persistence, his character. Character: moral excellence.
Now we find ourselves in a dilemna. As we mull over the definition of character and the persona of a man that we have hailed as a hero to our children, we learn he has flaws we never dreamed existed.
Now, we gleen into the life of someone we thought we knew. It doesn’t mean that his incredible golf feats are less, but simply that once again a hero has allowed his personal demons to lower him to a level we never imagined.
