Tiger+Woods

Bibliography for Tiger Woods By Eric W

"Back on the Prowl." Golf Magazine Jan 2009: 65.

This article tells of Tiger and how his hurt knee was the story of ’08 and his arrival back to the game of golf in ‘09. This article supports my idea that Tiger Woods is a role model because even after this knee surgery he is able to come back and play golf. He overcomes obstacles in his life and keeps moving on.

Durham, Alex. "When Tiger Came to Our Town." Saturday Evening > Post Sep 99: 36-41.

This article tells a story of a boy author that was influenced by Tiger Woods when Tiger went to a Tiger Woods Foundation Golf Clinic in Indianapolis. The author loved to play golf and really loved to watch Tiger in tournaments. This supports my idea because Tiger takes time out of his very busy schedule to come and help less fortunate youth learn to play and love golf like he does. Tiger uses his talents to bring joy to sick children, like Steven, who is 16, and has bone cancer.

"Empowering Youth." Tiger Woods Foundation. 2008. Tiger Woods > Foundation. 6 Mar 2009 http://www.tigerwoodsfoundation.org/what_we_do.php.

This article is from the Tiger Woods Foundation website and it tells of the different things that the foundation does with Tiger and how it impacts the participants that go to the events and schools in this program. I think this shows how Tiger is a role model because it shows what his people are doing and what he is doing to help others.

Morfit, Cameron. "New...but is he improved." Golf Magazine 01 Jan 2009: 69-69.

This article explains reasons why Tiger might have problems when he comes back after surgery but also examples of his struggles before his knee and how he overcame those. The article supports my thoughts that Tiger is a good role model because through hard times he doesn’t give up, which in my opinion is a great aspect of a good role model.

"Record-breaker Woods the host with the most." smh. 2007. smh. 6 > Mar 2009 http://www.smh.com.au/news/golf/recordbreaker-woods-the-host-with-the-most/2007/12/17/1197740182072.html.

This article shows Tigers ability to move on after a tough hole and still be able to perform very well. Even when he is struggling he keeps his cool and continues to do his best which usually is better than his opponents. This supports my idea that Tiger is a good role model because he knows how to overcome his weaknesses and therefore outperforms the competition.

Rosaforte, Tim. "Local Knowledge." Golf World 05 30 2008: 43.

This article tells of his knee and of others that have knee problems and how it was going to affect them, and when they were going to come back. I think this article tells of his role model because he is cautious for not coming back too soon and making sure his knee is healed. I think it shows self concern but not selfishness.

Rosaforte, Tim. "Tiger's Trend." Golf World 04 18 2008: 79-81.

This article tells of Tiger’s other Masters experiences. It tells how he can overcome two bad holes and a horrible round with an eagle and a saved round. The article also shares how when Tiger tees off he is always nervous. He says that is because he cares about his score and nerves are that way of caring. This helps show my idea that he is a good role model because it says Tiger cares about what he does and uses what he cares about to help others.

"So much for Tiger's Slam." Golf Digest June 2008: 101-102.

This article is about Tiger and playing the new golfer Trevor Immelman. It is about Tiger struggling to win and his coming up short. Even though he didn’t win I feel this is a good article to support my idea that Tiger Woods is a good role model because you can’t win every game or patch, but you have to keep pushing on and that is what Tiger has done. He went for another surgery and kept moving on to other things.

"Tiger Shares the Gift of Golf." Child Life Sep 99: 24.

The article describes Tiger’s works with kids. It tells of him visiting Indianapolis and helping kids learn to love and play golf. This article is a great example of how Tiger Woods and his Foundation are helping less fortunate children and would be good to show Tigers works with youth.
