Why Tiger Woods Should Watch American Idol

Online, February 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Hey everyone!

Okay, so I'll admit it. I watch American Idol. Kinda embarrassing, and my wife got me sucked in, but I've been really seeing a lot of similarities between it and the world of Golf. Read below about Tiger, then we'll talk.

The slow road back for Tiger Woods took another detour Wednesday when he followed a clutch birdie with a shocking shot into the desert and lost to Thomas Bjorn in the first round of the Match Play Championship.

It was only the second time that Woods, the No. 3 seed, had been eliminated in the first round.

But this was stunning even to Woods.

Moments after he made an 8-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to extend the match, he hit a 3-wood so far to the right that it landed in a desert bush. It took two shots just to get it back onto the grass. After badly missing an 18-foot bogey putt, he conceded to Bjorn.

"I blew it," Woods said.

Twice he had simple chips on the back nine and failed to convert them into birdies, losing his lead on the 13th and falling behind on the 15th. He missed a 10-foot birdie on the 17th that he figured he should make "every time."

And then came No. 1, the first extra hole.

"It's easy to put the ball in the fairway and I couldn't even do that," Woods said, so visibly upset that he was stumbling over his words.

The other top seeds didn't have that much trouble.

Okay, so what I see during American Idol is young kids that are ridiculously talented but don't make it. Wanna know why? FOCUS. The older I get the more I realize that success in life is all about concentrated focus & dedication to what you are doing. I know you have to agree.
