5 Jobs for Tiger Woods
February 29, 2012 by Rory · Leave a Comment
Following the “revelations” in Hank Haney’s recent book that Tiger Woods considered quitting golf to join the military we consider some more jobs that may suit golf’s former number one.
Long Haul Lorry Driver
When Tiger first burst onto the golfing scene he was well known for driving extremely long distances. A skill anyone working for Eddie Stobart must have on their CV!
Formula One Driver
Tiger has all that is required to be a top class racing driver. He has supreme concentration, athleticism and best of all, judging by the way he stops his swing mid flow from time to time, lightning quick reflexes…oh no…wait…escalade…fire hydrant…tree…never mind!
World Number One in any other sport
According to Earl Woods Tiger “could have beaten Michael Johnson” in the 400m had he not been so focused on golf from an early age. We wonder what other sports Tiger “could have” (but probably wouldn’t) dominate the way he did with golf for so long.
Human Billboard
Judging by Tiger’s ability to walk for more than 36 holes a day during practice and his long list of endorsements and sponsors, even post “fire hydrant gate”, he could easily have been one of the best at pounding the pavement advertising for a “Massive Rug Sale” or “Jethro’s Tyre Shop”.
Spear Fisherman
Away from the golf course Tiger apparently likes to dabble in a spot of spear fishing. This unusual hobby may come in handy if Woods can’t get back on track and start winning after his injury and personal troubles.

Golf’s Major Meltdowns – Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory
January 31, 2012 by Rory · Leave a Comment
We all know the pressures golf can pile on your shoulders, especially when you have a good score going when you reach the 18th tee! Imagine how you would feel if you were in a similar situation but with the added distractions of thousands of people watching from the side of the fairways, hundreds of thousands of dollars in the balance and a whole nation watching from the comfort of their arm chairs! Not many of us would be able to cope with such scrutiny but the pros seem to have the knack for doing so…well most of the time anyway! Following Kyle Stanley’s meltdown on the final hole of last week’s Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines we thought we would take a look at five of the biggest meltdowns golf has ever seen. You wouldn’t wish a meltdown on anyone but they do make for good TV! Read more
Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championships
This week the European Tour heads to the Middle East and the Abu Dhabi Golf Club. Fresh from a winter break, golf’s biggest stars are going to go toe to toe in the season opener. Luke Donald will be looking to carry on where he left off in 2011 and tighten his stranglehold on the world number one spot; Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood will be looking to knock Luke of his perch and a certain Tiger Woods will hope to prove to his many doubters that he is back in shape and on course to resume his assault on Jack Nicklaus’ Major Championship record at this year’s Masters.
