All of those guys lived long enough to see Tiger become Tiger (Jimmy Stewart died first, in 1997, a few months after Tiger won his first Masters).

Funny how the entire episode is so difficult to find. I believe this is the appearance where, when he misses the putt not shown here, his first instinct is to run up and move the ball right next to the "hole". When everyone laughs, I suppose any two-year-old would feel that behavior was validated...character will out, and the rest is history.

Odd encounter with Tiger. I grew up near Tiger Woods and had no thoughts about him or his future. Just always saw him alone, and quiet, at Mcdonalds or buying candy at a liquor store, in Cypress, Ca.
His dad could always be seen on the porch at home reading a newspaper. Saw him at same market. Rumor was the retired officers kind of did not like him or I should say his dad, at the Naval golf course nearby at Los Alamitos.
When Tiger had just gotten famous in 1997 a very unusual meeting to me happened. I was outside at the Citrus in 1997 for a Lexus tournament. As I stood outside staying out of the way on a wide sidewalk and drive turnabout, I was watching Clint Eastwood. Just thinking about all his movies I had seen, and how skinny he was.The sun was setting. And Tiger Woods was in my side periphery walking directly toward me. He had on a baseball cap. He walked straight into me as if I was not there. I saw him coming, he had a eye and face of lost in mesmerrizing. Eyes open but like he was zoned out, in a trance. I assumed just in deep thought. Thinking back it could have been a drug or catatonic like state. But that never occurred to me then or till now. I have always assumed that he could block out and focus and that was part of his concentration.
He was very apolagetic and seemed very embarrassed and was very sincere I think, and I told him its no problem. And then Clint Eastwoods lexus pulled up, Clint got in, and almost ran over someones foot and abruptly hit the brakes.

Curious, had the same feeling looking into his 2 year old eyes in this video. Nice story!
