Tiger Woods
Before he turned three years old he was already appearing on television and impressing everybody from the host of the show and all the way to his Dad with his golf swing. Tiger Woods came on the Mike Douglas show along with his Dad to show off his talent for the game of golf. Tiger’s father, Earl Woods had always been a lifelong golf advocate. Most people feel like Earl Woods was a bigger fan of golf then his son and Tiger merely started to play the sport due to his father’s passion for the game and he wanted to make his dad proud so he took up the sport practically out of the womb. Tiger came onto the scene at such a young age and stayed in the spotlight because of his uncanny ability to play golf at such a ridiculously young age. After his putting competition against comedian Bob Hope, after turning three Tiger went on to shoot a 48 over a nine hole span on a local course. Now for people who are not a fan of golf, the average professional golfer would shoot around a 35 through a nine hole span. Then you have your average golfer who would happily take Tiger’s score anytime they go out to play nine holes. So for him to be doing something of this nature at that age is more then remarkable. Listing his golfing accomplishments prior to attending college would take quite some time but the amazing thing is that it would not compare to the list he has piled up since turning pro and joining the PGA tour.
Tiger went to play golf at the University of Stanford. He eventually turned pro after just two years at Stanford, clearly before graduating. This move by Tiger was very perplexing because from what we know his family seemed like the type that would expect Tiger to not just go to college to play golf but also to earn a degree. This is why many people believed he chose Stanford was for the reason of an education along with the opportunity to play golf at such a prestigious school. We saw though, from the moment Tiger entered his first major championship he was not meant
