A history of "reckless" behavior???? Where? When?? What???
He's had a few incidents in his life. For the most part he has been a great father and upstanding human being.
People like Tiger live under a microscope and the press blows up every little incident making them seem much bigger than they are.
1) He cheated on his wife with multiple women. If you think that he's the only celebrity to do this, you're naive. I don't mean to justify it, it was wrong, he fessed up and apologized and voluntarily sought counseling.
2) He had a car accident while under the influence of drugs. He has had multiple back surgeries and knee surgeries. He was given pain meds by his doctor and mixed some without realizing the effect they would have. Again, he admitted a mistake and never did it again.
Please list all of the rest of his history of reckless behavior.
Tiger Woods has accomplished much in his life and has done a lot of good for a lot of people. His TGR Foundation supports community-based programs that improve the health, education, and welfare of all children in America. Currently, the foundation has established several programs and events such as the TGR Learning Labs, Hero World Challenge, Genesis Open, The National, and Tiger Jam which all benefit and impact the lives of millions of children.
Millions of African Americans, mostly young people have taken up golf because of Tiger.
The Tiger Woods Foundation is about empowering minorities, especially underprivileged minority students. The TGRF’s goal is for these students to be given the support and resources needed to be successful in school and beyond. In over the 20 years that this foundation has been opened they have served more than 175,000 students, as well as employing 1,000 educators each year. The foundation has been so successful due to its goal of “developing self-advocacy skills in young people,” that their students have a 98.7% college graduation rate, which is one of the highest graduation rates of a scholarship program in the country.
And people want to hate this guy because he is human and made a few mistakes. He's used cuss words on the golf course and tossed a club on occasion, as have many golfers at every level including the PGA Tour. The difference with Tiger is that he's on camera way more than any other player so he gets caught more often.
Other than that, he works as hard as anyone that has ever played any sport in and effort to become the best that ever lived. That is a great lesson for your people. In fact it's a great lesson for all of us.
On top of all that, he's a great father to his two children. He spends a lot of time with them in spite of the fact that they live with their mother, with whom he gets along very well these days.
Tiger is human and has made a few mistakes, but the good that he has done for the world and pleasure that he has brought to millions of people worldwide far outweighs a few "reckless" incidents.
A history of reckless behavior? I don't think so.
