Tiger Woods
Eldrick Tont Woods (born 1975), who goes by his nickname, Tiger, is a professional golfer. In 2006, he was #2 on Forbes's "Celebrity 100" of the biggest celebrity names, trailing only Oprah Winfrey. [1] He earned about $100,000,000 in 2006 from endorsements and tournament winnings. He is a Buddhist.
Despite showing promise of becoming the greatest golfer ever, Woods's career and athletic achievement collapsed amid reports of adultery. His wife subsequently obtained a divorce.[1]
Liberals frequently over-promote Woods in the media, to the point of declaring him to be a favorite to win the 2012 Masters. In fact, he turned in his worst performance there in 17 years, and his swearing and kicking of a club were captured by a camera. After he learned that people did not appreciate that, he declared:[2]
| “ | I certainly heard that people didn’t like me kicking the club. I didn’t like it either. I hit it in the bunker, and it didn’t feel good on my toe, either. | ” |
He has had three knee operations, including the removal of a benign tumor and also a cyst.[3][4]
Woods has the most wins of anyone on the PGA Tour this year, and his winning performance the 2012 AT&T National at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland moved him past Jack Nicklaus into second place on the tour list, eight short of the record set by Sam Snead.
