I'd been racking my mind all day on what I was going to post about for my blog today until I heard my roommate cheering on Tiger Woods in the final day of the Masters while she was watching tv today.
Tiger Woods made a huge first step reuniting with golf, taking a tie for fourth in the 74th Masters Tournament today even after a bit of a rocky start. He would tell you that it was unsuccessful and that he didn't get the job done, but others would argue that considering the fact that he's been away from the game for at least five months now and was only five strokes behind the winner, Phil Mickelson.
Although Woods ended the day with a nice birdie on par-4 of the eighteenth hole to finish 11-under 277, which earned him a standing ovation from the crowd. He feels that people are making too big of a deal about his performance, because he really doesn't feel as though he has much to be happy about.
With that being said, could the hype of the crowd and even the support of my own roommate mean that people are FINALLY getting over the mistakes of this big time celeb?
His newest commercial that features him staring at us on a black and white screen getting questioned by his late father, Earl Woods is another big hype in the media. "I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?" This is a legit statement for how Tiger's life has been going lately and his finally returning to the game of golf. The commercial also shows that his big sponsor, Nike, has still got his back even considering what has happened.
So again, are people finally getting over this big scandal? Is Tiger finally out of the woods? Some may say yes, while others say no. In my opinion, I think his performance in the Masters is just what he needs to move on with life. People need to give it up. What's done is done. Everyone messes up at some point in life and it doesn't need to be everybody else's business.

I agree that it is time to let Tiger Woods' marriage issues go. (There are Woods' after all, and not the rest of the world's.) He is a professional golfer, and should be viewed and judged as such. I admit the newest Nike commercial with Tiger angers me a little bit. I don't feel that Nike is so much backing Tiger Woods, as it is using a stroke of bad luck (of Woods') in order to get its product name out to the public. I do realize that advertising is to make money, but advertisers shouldn't use the misfortune of others in order to do so--even if such acts fall under 'public relations'.
ReplyDeleteI agree it is time to let Tiger live his life, and people need to stop talking about his big scandel and start focusing on the important things going on in society. I saw the commmercial, Nike, where his father is asking questions about Tiger and what he is thinking. I personally don't like this commercial because it's not a very nice thing to do upon Tiger and his actions.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Tiger has been all around the news and everything for a while, and having him back to his normal life. I think we will start to see him in the ads and everything else again, once he sets himself to the player he was once before. I'm sure it will take a while to get the "good image" back, but I think he will get the respect he deserves in a few years.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that Tiger Woods' issues need to be let go. I don't think that we really need to know everything about Woods' marriage issues, it's really none of our business. I think that if he is actually trying to get his good name back and that his sponsor has is back, I think that means that we should forgive him and move on. I completely agree with your ending statement.
