On Wednesday, I drove to Dove Mountain to watch Tiger Woods' debut at The WGC. It was an amazing day which I will never forget. The buzz and crowds around Tiger were massive, and he did not disappoint, opening with a birdie and an eagle, and making another eagle on the 13th for an easy victory. His focus and intensity from the moment he stepped on the practice tee was unwavering and something I have been trying to do on every shot. I studied his warm up routine and his pre-shot routine. Watching Tiger was like those watching Jordan, Ali, or Gretzky must have felt, he is clearly a level above everyone else. I spent most of my day on the driving range where I watched, Weir working with Dr Rotella, Woods, Goosen, Singh, Mcilroy, Els, Harrington, Mickelson, Donald, Cink, Weekley, Ames, Poulter, Garcia, Ryo, and more! The highlight of the day came at the very end, when I was the only person watching 19 year old Irish sensation Rory Mcilroy and he came over and we chatted for a bit about his win in Dubai and my pro golf before signing my cap. I absorbed a lot and have been filled with inspiration and motivation after watching the world's best at work.
What a great day you had on Wednesday! I saw this quote from Tiger: "You have to make sure you bring the intensity and bring your game from the very first hole. Because if you don't, you'll be going home."
