Right when he turned pro he was interviewed by some other golfer. Couples? I can't remember, which is annoying. Anyway, the interview went something along the lines of this:
PGA Veteran: Tiger, what are your goals going out there for this tournament?
Woods: I want to win.
PGA Veteran: Well, sure, we all want to win. I mean, what would you consider a successful outcome? Making the cut?
Woods: No, I want to win.
PGA Veteran: Well you can't win every week. It's really hard to finish in the top ten, it's hard to even make the cut, so I'm asking for a realistic goal for this week.
Woods: Every time I go out there, my goal is to win.
PGA Veteran (snickering): You'll learn.
I mean he showed up when everybody seemed to be happy with finishing in the money and collecting endorsements, said he was going to be great every week, got laughed at, and then was great every week. I cannot stand people who think they are incredibly wonderful at this or that, except for the rare individual who actually is incredibly wonderful at this or that.
I'm sure I'd rather hang out with five hundred pro golfers besides Woods, but he's the one I want to watch.
