When Tiger asked M.J. and Derek Jeter how to pick up girls at a bar, this is what happened

Damn, breh.

All that money and so alone

He had a billion dollars before he gave it to that Nanny he knocked up.

Cornball should have retired and joined the Seals while booking IG models every night.

Tiger got the call and came straight to Cypress, passing the Navy golf course where he learned to play, turning finally onto Teakwood Street. His dad never sold the house because he liked the easily accessible nostalgia. If Earl wanted, he could go see the Obi-Wan Kenobi poster still hanging on Tiger's closet door, or find an old Nintendo or Lego Star Destroyer. Earl died three steps from his son's old room.

I really don't wanna be an attention whore but I can attest this is true based on my own experience. A few years after my dad's death, I still try to emulate him the same Jordan describes in this piece. It's an incredibly powerful drive. I feel like I have a duty to keep his legacy going by doing the things he loved to do. I realize a lot of my hobbies/past-times are reflections of things he used to do. I still believe in the conspiracy theory regarding Jordan doing it as a forced leave of absence for gambling violations, but I understand why he would do the baseball thing for his dad.

I smell you... For me it was something as simple as watching a baseball game. My pops raised me as a Mets fan, so during our improbable run to the World Series last year, watching the games with my son, there was more than a few times that I thought, "Man, Dad would have loved this"

Amazing write-up.

He should quit golf. It's clear he only played golf for his father's happiness/approval and the social acceptance that came with it. Unfortunately, golf can't provide the path to either of those anymore.

Even if he came back and became moderately successful, the media question wouldn't be "can he chase Nicklaus?" but it'll turn to "I wonder when he'll falloff again?" and it'll send him into another spin cycle he clearly can't handle on his own. It'll accelerate the current breakdown in his back/knees and push him into the limelight where he clearly isn't comfortable.

He needs to just really find out who the real Tiger Woods is and continue being a great dad. It seems like he's lived his life for others with all the parameters built for him ... but he didn't necessarily want it, he was just great at the path his dad gave him and his success (money and fame) pushed all his faults to the wayside.

But now all of that is gone and it's just him standing in a mirror looking at himself.

If he just wants to be a suburban dad, hang out with his kids, play video games, etc. ... honestly, he should do just that.

Do you still agree with what you wrote at this point? Now that he just won again.
