The Future of the Young Ms. Woods

Congrats to Tiger and Elin on the birth of their daughter Sam Alexis Woods (SAW). Since the household that figuratively gave birth to Eye On Golf has also raised a daughter of its own, we thought it would be appropriate to pass along some adjectives to Mr. and Mrs. Woods that accurately describe the challenges ahead. So Tiger and Elin here you go: rewarding, frustrating, fun, exasperating, and the list goes on and on and on…

But now to the business at hand. Anytime a world-class athlete passes along his or her DNA to an offspring, there is great speculation concerning the sporting future of the child. Eye On Golf has been quite fortunate to gain the possession of a southwestern soothsayer stone, (Said stone was discovered in the Arizona desert while relocating our golf clubs in preparation for future play.) with which we have been able to divine the future of the young Ms. Woods. In other words we were able to foresee-SAW.

The year is 2026 and we have been privileged to gain a glimpse at the season ending money list for the LPGA. There are no doubt a couple of surprises and there are also several enduring legacies that need to be maintained. We were also astonished to find that the list is conspicuously absent of one name in particular.

1. Sam Alexis Woods
2. Morgan Pressel
3. Paula Creamer
4. Juli Inkster
5. Tap In Kim
6. Say Hi Kim
7. One of the girls in the USGA Advertisement, “I swing like a girl!”
8. Annika Sorenstam
9. Natalie Gulbis (still no victories)
10. Ai Miyazato (thanks to her first win in twenty years on tour)

Oui, you noticed no Wie. We did too. Unfortunately, we have no reason from the soothsayer stone. No information from the intervening nineteen years was provided to us.

I wonder if Tiger and Elin named their girl "Sam" just in case she has visions of PGA Tour stardom.

Stacy,

Shel Silverstein had that song "A boy named Sue."

Now Tiger and his wife might want to publish "A girl named Sam."

I'm going with "if it's a boy, Sam Alexander, and if it's a girl, Sam Alexis" as the defense. In either case, the acronym SAW strikes fear into my heart already.

Tap In Kim and Say Hi Kim are hilarious. I got your "conspicuously absent" referent; must be why I'm still blogging at this halfway house.

Boy, do I hope that young Woods is a runner or a philosopher or a writer, anything but a world-class golfer or a world-class nanny, like her parents. The pressure would be too great in either venue.
