Dear Tiger,
I would like to start by telling you something and that I’m an avid fan of you. You represent what golf means. You’re the true athlete in terms of how determined, how your work ethic is and how professional you are.
I place you as one of those athletes which I truly admire. Among those which I really felt were true professionals in their field are people like Lance Armstrong, Micheal Jordan ad Ryan Giggs. These people are those I truly respect for their dedication and discipline in their game. You are definitely one of them. (please note that I do not include Federer among those people for the sheer fact that I believe that true winners don’t cry when they lose. Sorry Roger)
What you have done would have disappointed those who are close to you. I can only imagine how your mum and your late father would have felt after knowing about it. Elin is right to be pissed at you, forgive her for that. Your children would also be very disappointed if they were to know the entire story.
That’s about the people which you only need to be really be responsible to. No one else.
Not your sponsors. Not to other golfers on tour. Not to the media. Not to anyone else. To hell with them.
I respect you at an extremely deep level because I know how technical golf is. I play golf and I know it. God knows how many hours you put in a day just to perfect your swing, to work on your short game and all the other stuffs that only those who really play the game will understand.
I remember reading a book about you. It said that the moment you entered the game, the only record you were ever after was Jack Nicklaus 18 major record.
I hope you really keep your eyes on that because you really deserve to break that record.
When you started golf, your target isn’t to be the most reputable person in the world or to be the most popular golfer or athlete in the world; but your actual goal was to break Jack’s record. I really hope you do. It doesn’t matter if no one else sponsors you because your target from the beginning isn’t about making heaps of money from golf but in breaking that record.
Clear up the mess, Tiger. Talk to Elin and ask her for forgiveness. Talk to your mum and ask her for forgiveness. Talk to the media openly about it. Release a statement asking for forgiveness from your fans. Take some time out to reflect and rethink your priorities.
Don’t pay those girls you had sex with a dime to stop them from releasing the stories. Just let them do what they want with it. It doesn’t matter if they have a sex tape of you. I would rather spend time watching you on golf channel then watching you making love on the web.
Those gold diggers are just after your millions. Don’t pay them any. They had their own share of fun too.
I hope you come back refresh and rejuvenated.
Like I said. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Love,
Victor
