FacebookTiger’s World
You can hardly turn around without hearing about Tiger’s recent fall from grace, or is it? Will Tiger reinvent himself and give the world a new message, one in which his father spoke of? His recent stumble has sure caught our attention, hasn’t it? How else do we learn or remember these kinds of lessons? Is it not the recovering alcoholic who makes the best AA teacher?
Life is always showing us about life itself. In order to receive this higher message someone has to experience adversity first – and those periods are the times of the greatest gain. Tiger’s celebrity status has the whole world looking carefully at this insidious disease called “infidelity.” Who hasn’t had the thought that the grass might be greener somewhere else, if even for a brief spell? Then cast the first stone if you will. The greatest betrayal of all is to oneself. I truly believe the greatest pain from all of this is Tiger’s own internal suffering that he has caused himself. The consequences of our own actions weigh heavily on the exact ones we love the most.
An enlightened Master spoke many years ago, “Do not judge and you will not be judged.” Many with very self-righteous positions will judge this event harshly. Even fellow pro’s have lashed out voicing their strong objections. And in the very moment you judge someone as not being on their path, you are not on yours either. Be very careful to judge another, rather I invite you to simply observe. Notice how you feel when judging another even though you might be right. No, I shall not condemn nor condone the behavior from the world’s most mentally tough athlete and perhaps the greatest golfer of all time. I shall simply observe and ask myself some even deeper questions; like what would love do now or how will this make me a better me? It is my observation that much of the world would rather be right then happy.
You see these kinds of personal issues left unresolved will literally eat away at you on the inside. You may appear to cover them up temporarily, yet sooner or later they will bubble up to the surface. They are like energy draining beach balls that we attempt to hold under water. When we are out of integrity with ourselves it affects all aspects of our lives including our own golf game. Therefore, it is essential to make peace with our past; to make peace with our selves; to come clean; to forgive; to tell the truth; and to reinvent or better our selves by becoming our higher or more authentic Self. That is my hope and desire for Tiger and anyone else who knows why they have received this message today. You just have to go inside – for if you do not go within, you go without. Perfectly imperfect is what we are.
I shall keep on observing Tiger’s World with hope and anticipation that he resolves his personal issues by telling his truth and making peace with himself. I eagerly anticipate his return to golf. I also look forward to the young guns like Anthony Kim, Rory McElroy, Camilla Villegas, and Rickie Fowler giving Tiger a run for his money too!

It will be interesting to see how tiger responds to his problems when he returns but i think this situation is much different others like for instance John daly with drinking and gambling because Infidelity is much harder to fix within the family. Its not just solved by going to a few meetings a therapist. He was basically living a double life and lying to the entire golf world and his family which seems to be the most important thing to him, or it was when his father was still around. It will be fun to see how he handles himself in the future and how the young golfers play in the upcoming season.
Hey Nate,
Great hearing from you! Yes, it will be interesting to observe how all of this unfolds…yet I still support Jack Nicklaus’ stance that it’s Tiger’s business.
I truly hope Tiger returns to golf a better person and I am looking forward to watching others compete as well, not only the young guns mentioned but also Phil, Padraig, Sergio, and few other up and comers…and you know who they are - Ross Fisher, Robert Karlsson is healthy again, and what about Dustin Johnson? I do root for Steve Stricker as well :). You?
Play well Nate and go with the flow ~!
Yes Rand I agree with all the names you mentioned. i think this may be one of the most exciting years with Phil’s putting adjustment and the way he finished up last year along with Padraigs swing changes this year has the potential to have 10 guys at the top of their games ready to give Tiger a run. I can’t wait. I hope your having a great northern michigan winter. happy holidays golfing buddy from florida.
