Tiger Woods Research Paper

When most people hear the name Tiger Woods, their first thought probably goes deep into his massive scandal that has now covered headlines for years. When I hear the name Tiger Woods, I think of someone that, like Superman, could do things that no one else is capable of. There are several reasons that Tiger should be considered a superhero in the world of golf even today. Professional golf very well may be the hardest sport to be consistent at. Even the best players on Earth can be phenomenal one day and horrendous the next. That’s just how golf is and any golfer could tell people that.
