Ron Sirak on the paths of Wie v. Woods

Simply put, Earl’s strategy was to set a reachable bar, have Tiger clear it, then move the bar to the next reachable level. His plan was to develop a mindset of domination in his son through a series of successes. B.J.

Two special talents might get to the same place by following very different paths. That, after all, is what makes the journey special.
