the father knew that it was

I can't tell you how much this sudden news affected me. Not as a golfer, nor as a Tiger fan, but as a believer and as a son. As a son, there is something I relate to in the way Tiger adored his father for making him the person he is today. Years after the fact, a son can understand the discipline and sternness and sacrifice used to shape a character. I appreciate that about my father in the same way Tiger appreciates it in his father.

As a believer, there are parallels between the Father and His Son, and the Father and all His children. Tiger never stopped talking about his father. Tiger knew that everything he had was because of his father. Tiger loved his father unswervingly.
