Tiger Woods avenges his lost to Y.E. Yang in the PGA Championship to help the U.S. team clinch the 2009 President’s Cup. Tiger was asked after the match did he know that his putt was the clincher. He did not know that his putt was the clincher, he was so focused on winning his match. Tiger Woods beat Y.E. Yang 6 and 5, which means that they had 5 holes to go and Tiger was up 6 holes, so Yang had no chance to catch Tiger. Y.E. Yang did not sound as if he wanted any part of Tiger Woods as he was asked about the match prior to playing the round of golf. Yang said that he will show up, but is not particularly interested in playing against Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker beat Y.E. Yang and Ryo Ishikawa on Saturday 4 and 2. In the final two days of the President’s Cup, Tiger handled Yang with no problem. Tiger Woods is only the fifth golfer to go 5-0 during the President’s Cup, he continues to confirm he is the best golfer in the world. Phil Mickelson has had a good comeback with the Tour Championship and he had a undefeated record in the President’s Cup of 4-0-1, which secures his number two ranking. Tiger Woods won 6 times in 2009 and won the FedEx Cup Championship, which brought him a cool $10 million dollar paycheck.

It appears that Tiger Woods has topped $1 billion in career earnings, not just from prize money but also all that loot Nike, Gatorade, Tag Huer and other advertisers pay the golf star, plus income from his golf design business and lofty appearance fees. Tiger Woods is third with 71 All-Time Career PGA Tour Wins. 2009 has been one of the most consistent years on the PGA Tour for Tiger Woods. He won six times, finished second three times, placed in the top 10 in 14 of 17 starts, contended in three of four majors and had his third-lowest scoring average at 68.05. After knee surgery in 2008 no one could have don’t think foreseen such a successful season.

U.S. Team WINS 19 1/2 TO 14 1/2 in the 2009 President’s Cup with a absolute class move by Vijay Singh, who just gave Lucas Glover his 7-footer for birdie on the 18th hole to end their match all square. Glover, who hadn’t earned a point all week, avoided being shut out because of that, though as Singh joked with NBC afterward, “He would have made it anyway.” Vijay Singh went undefeated for the weekend 2-0-3.

For the U.S., it was a dominating performance from its top three players, Tiger Woods, Mickelson and Steve Stricker. In 15 matches between then, they went 13-1-1 in arguably the greatest performance put on by a U.S. team in international team competition. Obviously, the U.S. team believed that they were the better team and performed as the best.

Phil Mickelson has brought his confidence from winning the Tour Championship to the 2009 President’s Cup. Entering the final day of the Cup at Harding Park as the U.S. team’s wing man – 3-0-1 with three different partners, and perfectly ready to take on any of the Internationals for an 18-hole mentoring if the rules would allow. You can see the confidence in Phil’s eyes, he is having as much fun as anyone. His belief in his game is as high as ever. Phil is hitting fairways off the tee, he hits his ball long way, his irons are on target and he’s putting as well as ever.

At the President’s Cup this week, Mickelson has been paired with different players while number one player in the world Tiger Woods has looked good with Steve Stricker. What do you make of the American selections? Tiger Woods will take on Y.E. Yang in the ninth match of the day on Sunday. Yang came back to beat Tiger in the last major tournament of the year, the PGA Championship, Tiger would like to avenge that lost today. Phil will take on Retief Goosen in the 11th match of the Singles. Phil is expected to win his match, Goosen has not been the player we have become accustomed to over the years.

Golf is such a mental game, in viewing the President’s Cup this week, players have had their ups and downs and you can see it on their faces. Some of these players have lost some confidence in their games, while others have experienced their confidence soaring due to their play this week. Visualization is a big part of golf, which is a good reason why I like to include it in personal development discussions. Anyone that has played golf or watches it on television will see players stand behind their ball, they are visualizing the golf shot that they would like to achieve.

The United States team needs 5 points to win the cup, while the International team has to win eight of the twelve matches on Sunday. The U.S. team has to maintain their composure and play the way that they are capable of playing. The U.S. team was favored to win the President’s Cup and is good shape to close it out with a 12 1/2 – 9 1/2 lead over the International team. Phil Mickelson is second to last going off the tee, while Tiger Woods is ninth of the twelve matches. We should have a good idea in regards to the outcome of the President’s Cup by time the top two players in the world come to the close of their rounds of golf.

Y.E. Yang of South Korea, the first Asian player to win a major title. Y.E. Yang beat Tiger Woods by 3 strokes at the PGA Championship on Sunday, August 16, 2009. Tiger Woods’ had been unbeaten with a lead entering the last round of major championships finally until that ended Sunday at wind-blown Hazeltine National Golf Club. Prior to Sunday, Woods was 14-0 when leading after 54 holes.

You may be asking why am I writing about golf on a blog that is about Personal Development, Home Business and Living a certain Lifestyle. I am a golfer myself, I believe that playing golf and being an entrepreneur have many similarities. To be successful in my business, one has to believe in themselves, be patient, visualize the expected outcome and recognize that no matter what, there is no time to get attached to any potential customer or associate. In golf, Y.E. Yang did the unthinkable and beat Tiger Woods because he believed in himself, he was patient throughout the four straight rounds of golf, he stated that “I’ve sort of visualized this quite a few times playing against the best player, if not one of the best players in the history of golf, playing with him in the final round in a major championship, always sort of dreamed about this. I’ve seen throughout Tiger’s career that a lot of players have folded probably on the last day when playing with him.” Yang had an eagle on the 13th hole, which was the turning point of the round, he did not get attached to that shot, he played to win and did just that.

Those of you who follow sports know that it is bound to happen, someone will beat the best on a given day. Tiger Woods will continue to be the #1 golfer in the world because he is the most consistent golfer. His belief is stronger than any other golfer in the world. Tiger has won 70 golf tournaments worldwide with 14 major tournament wins. He is third all-time in wins and second with major tournament wins, which is why we were so surprised he lost on Sunday after going into the round with a 2 stroke lead. Tiger will be back to his winning ways. Yang admitted “so was I intimidated, yeah, I guess I was a bit.”

In order to be successful as a entrepreneur, it’s important to understand what you want and visualize what lifestyle you will have when you take the proper steps to achieve your goals. Y.E. Yang took the entrepreneurial approach, he stated
“so when I was at home or probably on tournament probably watching Tiger in the clubhouse, I’d usually try to visualize and try to bring up a mock strategy on how to win, if I ever played against Tiger.” Y.E. Yang will experience a lifestyle change being the first Asian player to win a major championship.

As an entrepreneur, to make the choice to escape the rat race to pursue entrepreneurship, it took courage and belief. Y.E. Yang had the courage and belief to stand up to the #1 golfer in the world and beat him by 3 strokes. Those individuals reading this post that have strong belief and courage, don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship. Having a system in place that is proven, simple and it works only requires that a entrepreneur takes action. There is a contact page on the left side of the blog, complete the information and I will contact you within 24 hours to discuss the possibilities.

Golf is relaxing, enjoyable and makes you humble. The same can be said about owning your own home business. The two have many similarities as I have played golf for over 15 years and have owned my own home business for 21/2 years. Successful entrepreneurs typically have to be creative to set themselves apart and offer value for their customer. Eric Wahl has set himself apart from other Artist as he paints to upbeat music, he is fast, creative and has a passion for what he does. Do you enjoy what you do?

“I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for – getting paid for doing what you love.” stated by Tiger Woods. How many people settle for what someone offers them versus pursuing what they want. We know that people work jobs for a paycheck, which happens to be the only time they find enjoyment with the job. In most cases people are working paycheck to paycheck, no time for vacations or to buy something nice for special people in their lives, no room for emergencies. We all know people that live their lives that way. What makes Tiger Woods the best golfer in the world?

Tiger Woods states, “I love to play golf, and that’s my arena. And you can characterize it and describe it however you want, but I have a love and a passion for getting that ball in the hole and beating those guys.” That says it all, we are on this planet for a period of time, most people take that time for granted, not realizing that yesterday is in the past and you will not see that day again. It’s never too late to open your eyes and pursue your dreams. After 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry, I finally opened my eyes and stop settling for the income, company cars etc. I fired my boss to be able to spend time with family, travel the world, play golf and assist others with realizing the possibilities that exist to all of us.

“If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.” That is Tiger Woods giving back to the community. Not only has Tiger Woods won two consecutive tournaments going into the last major tournament of the year, the PGA Championship. He happens to have scored a 67 in the first round for the lead in his last chance to win a major tournament in 2009. He has won 5 tournaments this year, 70 tournaments in his career, which is third all-time and he is 33 years old. Some say he is in his prime.

Tiger Woods is the career victories leader among active players on the PGA Tour, and is the career money list leader.
Woods won 11 tournaments in 2000, nine on the PGA Tour, one on the PGA European Tour and the PGA Grand Slam. In addition, Woods and David Duval won the World Cup team title for the United States. He earned $9,188,321 on the PGA Tour ($11,034,530 worldwide) and broke the PGA Tour record of $6,616,585 which he set in 1999.
Tiger increased his record total on the PGA Tour career money list to $76,579,376 through 2007, and had won $94,038,162 worldwide.

“One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people’s expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it,” stated by Tiger Woods. Live your own life, you have control, your thoughts will become things. I played sports for years, including at Northwestern University in the Big Ten. Football was something I enjoyed playing. I realize years later, that love of the game should carry into life. If you want to own your own home business to create time, freedom and a income you have not experienced, it’s possible, you are a simple choice away. If you want to assist with others reaching theirs dreams instead of you reaching your dreams, that’s a choice as well. Look back over your life and recognize that on this day you can create the life you want. Learn from your experiences.

“The only thing you can do is take a learning experience from it, positives and negatives, and apply them to the future. What did you do right, what did you do wrong, and I did a lot of things right this week,” Tiger Woods conveys after winning a tournament. You can be what you have always wanted to be, ask Tiger. “I want to be what I’ve always wanted to be: dominant.” How many golfers feel that way? None, that’s why Tiger Woods has achieved so much, his mindset is head and shoulders above the rest. Whatever you enjoy, Tiger Woods displays the mindset that it takes to achieve. Belief in yourself, be passionate, have patience and find something that resonates with you, then TAKE ACTION.

Never settle, leave those days in the past. Tiger has achieved a lot, but has the attitude “no matter how good you get you can always get better and that’s the exciting part”. What do you want to do with your life from this day forward? What steps will you take to get what you want? If you feel you have reached that point in your life where you recognize you can be the next Tiger Woods at what you choose to do, i would enjoy hearing from you. Of course if I can assist you, don’t hesitate to contact me.
