Perhaps the “best” golfer ever, Tiger Woods rocketed to the top of a once “whites-only” sport. Endorsements made him a “global” brand and the world’s “richest” athlete.
The child of a “multi-racial” marriage, Woods and his “blond, blue-eyed” wife, Elin Nordegren, seemed to represent a new “post-racial” America.
Then, in late 2009, Woods became “embroiled” in a multitude of “sex scandals” that shocked and made “headlines” worldwide.
Tiger’s travails about “race, sex, scapegoating and betrayal” as the role model of sports “heroes” drove the media into “obsession” with celebrity “scandals” and their tawdry ritualized “dramas” about the rich and famous.
Now ESPN published a “massive” story on Tiger Woods. Its 11,393 words broken into 3 acts called the “Secret History of Tiger Woods.”
It’s reads like the “final” chapter of Tiger’s life in the “high-stakes” world of professional golf, the “politics” of sports and celebrity, and the “myths and realities” surrounding the flawed figure whose marriage “fell apart” after his many sordid “sex affairs” were exposed, while focusing on his “awkwardness” around women.
According to ESPN the “over the hill” golfer and “cheapskate” Tiger Woods once got some “simple advice” on how to “pick up women” from Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter.
Everyone needs a little “how to pick up women” advice from friends.
The sexual “Bravado” one night went to a “club in New York” with Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan and “confessed” his awkwardness “around” women, while Jeter and Jordan “circulated” amongst the crowd, talking with “ease” to one beautiful “woman” after another.
At one point, Tiger “walked” up to them and “asked” the question that lives in the “brain and hearts” of every junior high school boy and nearly every “grown” man too.
“What do you do to talk to girls?”
Jeter and Jordan “looked” at each other, then “back” at Tiger, sort of “stunned.”
“Go tell ’em you’re Tiger Woods, and get their phone numbers” they said.
This part about “working” a room with Jeter and Jordan and not knowing “how to talk to girls” is unbelievable.
It’s almost insane to believe “hanging” with Jordan and Jeter being that “awkward,” unless you’re an “ego monster” or a “stalker.”
That “advice” didn’t seem work out “best” for Woods, considering how many women he “banged ” while being married to the “stunning” Elin Nordegren.
Then there’s the “cheapskate” lunch story which spread like “wildfire” throughout the “Naval Special Warfare” community.
Guys still tell it, “almost” a decade later. Tiger and a group of five or six went to a “diner” in La Posta.
The waitress brought the “check” and the table went “silent,” according to two people there that day.
Nobody said “anything” and neither did Tiger, and the guys “sort of” looked at one another.
Finally one of the SEAL’s said, “Separate checks, please.”
The waitress walked away. “We are all baffled,” says one SEAL, a veteran of numerous “combat” deployments.
“We are sitting there with Tiger fucking Woods, who probably makes more than all of us combined in a day. He’s shooting our ammo, taking our time. He’s a weird fucking guy. That’s weird shit. Something’s wrong with him.”
“Tiger Woods never got wet and sandy,” says former SEAL and current Montana “congressman” Ryan Zinke, who ran the “training facility” during the years Tiger came around.
The BUD/S instructors didn’t like the way Tiger “talked” about how he’d have been a “SEAL” if he didn’t “choose” golf.
“I just reached out to the guys I know who jumped with him and interacted with him,” says a retired SEAL.
“Not a single one wants to have any involvement, or have their name mentioned in the press anywhere near his. His interactions with the guys were not always the most stellar, and most were very underwhelmed with him as a man.“
This story about not picking up the “tab” for a table full of SEAL’s is one of the most “cheapskate” and flat out “disrespectful” moves I’ve ever heard.
What would “Daddy” Earl have thought of that “Eldrick” boy.
The ultimate “irony, twist of fate, coincidence,” whatever you want to call it, it most likely was the Navy SEAL “training” that led to his “injuries and downfall” as a golfer.
This “Secret History of Tiger Woods,” article hints that when he first “tore” his ACL, he was training in Navy SEAL “combat” boots plays out like a Greek “tragedy” or something.
Father “dies,” you try to “fulfill” one of his wishes, end up “injuring” yourself and ruining the first “path” he chose for you.
Now dad is “gone,” his golf dominance is “over,” he ain’t a Navy “SEAL,” and he’s just kind of floating “aimlessly” through life.
Not to “over-dramatize” things. At the end of the day this “awkward” dude is practically a billionaire. I’m not “shedding” any tears for Tiger.
He clearly is “weird” and kind of a hungry “sexual” cavalier these days.
Bizarre how almost all of Tiger’s “successes” and subsequent “failures” can be tied directly “back” to his dad.
Seems like Tiger is completely “jacked” upside the head.
