Weekly Written Analysis 2

This week’s analysis of popular culture that caught my interest is Tiger Woods. He is the best golfer in the world and he just won his sixty-eighth tournament of his career. Tiger is always in sports news when he is playing. He is in a number of different commercials, is sponsored by Nike, has his own clothing line trough Nike, and even has a video game named after him. He has made this sport something so popular. Many people thought that would never happen but, we have Tiger to thank for that. I know golf can be very boring to watch but, that’s not the case when he is playing. Over the weekend I found myself watching some of the tournament that he was hosting and playing in. While watching this, I became a bigger Tiger Woods fan and I respect him so much more as a person. He honored kids, the Military, and Veterans at his tournament he was hosting. They were all allowed to get into this event for free and he made a big deal about all of them. Just seeing how sincere he was about kids and the military was something great to see. He said at the beginning of the tournament that he would donate whatever he wins to his own charity. Well, he won the event and donated all 1.1 million of it to his charity, The Tiger Woods Foundation. I am a veteran myself and after watching this great person over the weekend, Tiger Woods will always be a popular culture icon to me.
