访谈录 2013-04-02&04-04 老虎伍兹重返世界第一

Well, now to that big win for Tiger Woods that put him back on top, ranked number one in the world. He has spent the last few years rebuilding his life and career as you know, and ABC’s Rob Nelson has Tiger’s comeback story.

With his decisive win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Tiger Woods wakes up today as the top-rank-golfer in the world for the first time since October 2010.

Some of the shots that I struggled with last year are now strengths.

And those strikes have now silenced the critics and paved the way for Tiger to once again dominate the sport he loves.

This is major redemption for Tiger Woods. I think he’s looking at everybody today and saying, you know, I’m back.

And with redemption comes rewards. Nike has released a Twitter and Facebook post with Tiger’s picture and his quote “winning takes care of everything”. However, the post drew some criticism for glossing¹ over the well documented infidelities that led to Tiger’s 2010 divorce.

Nike will always stick with Tiger Woods. But other mainstream² companies, they haven’t come back to Tiger. So the key question is, will they?

The golfer’s new girlfriend, champion skier³, Lindsey Vonn tweeted her congratulations Monday, electronically exclaiming number one!

Monday’s victory was a richly full circle moment for the superstar golfer from his astonishing rise…

Oh! Wow!

…to his scandalous fall.

I’m deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior.

And now a triumphant⁴ return to former glory.

It’s been incredible to have all the support and you know, all the hard work has paid off to get me to this point.

Now Tiger’s next challenge comes in two weeks at the Masters in Augusta. He has won there four times before, but now since 2005, so guys, he has this new ranking and next month we’ll see how well he can defend it. But check out this video now. That is one of the most popular on YouTube. Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer in a fight to defend their trophy⁵, part of a new ad for Tiger’s PGA Tour video game. I am scared of Arnold Palmer, man, look it back…

Go, Arnie! Go Arnie!
Alright, Rob. Very cool video game.
Yes, thanks. Thanks very much.
