Sorry folks! Thought Tiger was still in his late teens!
Showing MY age now aren't I? Like when my mom refers to my
42 year old boyfriend and I as "you kids!" Anyway, it still
doesn't negate my initial opinion that I bet Tiger is happy
that his parents encouraged him at an early age for what he
had already determined to be his passion in life. At
whatever age he is, 19, 21 or ?????????!!
