Impact of Tiger Woods in Golf
Tiger Woods is undoubtedly the best golfer in the world today. His remarkable talent and his unmatchable power make him virtually unbeatable in many professional golf tournaments. Tiger Woods has struck a chord in mainstream America and it isn't limited to minority kids. Ironically, the enormous boom created by the Tiger Woods phenomenon has created an economic problem and potential pitfalls the sport has ever faced. The golf industry is wondering, and doing its best, to convert those inspired by Tiger Woods into true golfers and keep these people interested in the game. Many people have begun to question Tiger Woods' impact in the sport of golf. People are beginning to say that someone like Tiger is only doing harm to the game. There is no question that the majority of the golfing population feels that he has done nothing but good to the game and will keep himself and the sport of golf on the right track for years to come.
