5th King Of JerkishBehavior: Tiger Woods
Golf? Yeah its pretty boring to watch and I never took much interest in the sport until one individual by the name of Tiger Woods came along. Now, I am most definitely watching rounds of golf whenever Tiger is playing in a tournament on TV especially if he is in contention to win on Sunday. While was watching Tiger play you can just become captivated by his greatness and spectacular dominance. I remember watching the 2005 Master’s (the most prestigious golf tournament in the world) and Tiger was on the 16th hole. He had about a 40 foot putt at the edge of the green and what happened next was the greatest shot I had ever seen. He hit the ball and made it go in a “L’ direction and as it got to the hole, the ball slowed down and just stopped at the edge of the hole while displaying the Nike logo (Cha-ching) and then just dropped in. I have never been so hyped over a golf shot in my life. There’s also the 2008 PGA Championship, where he had a force a sudden death playoff after coming from behind to start the day and he ended up with the victory. Sounds typical right? No, he played and won the entire tournament with a torn acl, WHAT?! WOW!!!
Needless to say, Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world and one of the greatest of all time. Why? He brought a whole legion of new fans to the sport of golf like myself. Tiger is 2nd all time in career majors won with 14 in 13 years (Jack Nicklaus considered the greatest golfer of all-time for now has the record with 18 majors won in 24 years). In 1999-2000, Tiger won all 4 majors in a row and is the only player in the modern era to hold all 4 major championships at the same time. Tiger has changed the mechanics of his swing at least 3 different times and he continues to be the same dominant force. Whenever Tiger is in a tournament, he is the favorite to win no matter what and even if he has an insurmountable deficit to overcome whoever is atop the leader board on Sunday is still worried about Tiger Woods. If you thought he was a problem on the golf course, well he is an even bigger one off it. Nike started a whole golf division because of Tiger which made $725 million last year and oh yeah Tiger receives a percentage of the profits. Tiger Woods also has his own golf course design business with future locales in North Carolina, Mexico, and Dubai. So last but not least, Tiger Woods is the 5th King of JerkishBehavior.
