The golfer who brought so much attention to the game finds him self in fifth place going into the final round at the 2008 Masters in Augusta, Georgia. It would be nearly a miracle if he could make a come back to win today and earn another green jacket. Tiger has been a crucial sports figure in so many teenagers' lives. In my opinion he started a dramatic change in the world of golf today. I remember so many teens wanting to be basketball players, or football players when they were younger. Once an athlete such as Tiger comes along, so many teens want everything that that Tiger has accomplished. What other athlete has achieved so much success on the course and off the course money wise than Tiger Woods.
I think he plays a crucial role in so many young teenagers lives today. There is not one individual that puts on a Nike baseball cap and doesn't think about how Tiger Woods is truly an inspiration. If Tiger can pull off this miracle win today he will once again prove to so many individuals that you can do anything you put your mind into.
I agree with you one-hundred percent. Even though Tiger didn't pull the comeback. He still brought the sport of golf into the eyes of millions of people around the world. He is the sole reason the sport is growing at the rate it is. I even saw some bonus coverage of Tiger at the Masters giving lessons to under-privelaged children. It is amazing that a big name in golf can give back so much. I think Tiger isn't only the greatest thing in golf, he is one of the greatest things to happen to sports in general.
