Tiger Wins AT&T National

I’m not sure if any of you follow golf, but I do. I really enjoy rooting for Tiger and some of the impossible things he accompishes. It is just ridiculous some of the things he does, week in and week out. I was recently reading an article in GOLF Magazine, and they were interviewing Adam Scott. They asked what it was like to be called

“The Next Tiger”. He replied by saying that its not fair. He soon realized that it isn’t fathomable how awesome of a talent Tiger Woods is. You just can’t win that many times he said. Well, you can, but no one else can. That sums up Tiger’s talent, it isn’t even fair to measure people up to him. Because you can’t.

No one will ever please a fan who measures their player to Tiger, because they’ll always fall short. You have to be content with what you do, and other players have seriously learned to be content with the #2 ranking. Because they know if it weren’t the era of the Tiger, well, then they’d probably be vying for that top spot.

That all being said, I really enojyed this clip when I turned on ESPN yesterday morning. I missed the tournament’s finish because of work, but I still knew that he had won. I then saw the video of him interviewing himself and thought it was very pleasant, and a tribute to how comfortable Tiger is with himself.

BUT. I have heard through the interweb communication lines that some people take this as a cocky gesture, showing that Tiger is an arrogent jerk. Me, personally, I’m confused. Because, as a fan base, people always say how they wish Tiger would be more personable, how they wish he’d have more fun.

Well, he’s all business. He wants to win. What’s wrong with that? Then he finally shows his fun side, shows us a little bit of him, and what do people do? They criticize him for it.

So, if you haven’t already seen this, watch the clip. Tell me what you think. I’d really like to hear your opinons on the matter. So, if you haven’t already subscribe with IntenseDebate real quick, and drop a comment letting me know how you feel about the whole thing.
