Tiger Woods, practically a brand name in the championship golf world. For the past decade his name is synonymous with success in this sport.
Tiger suffered from severe nearsightedness and he had 20/15 vision with contacts in. His motivation was to play without the hassle of contacts and being a professional golfer,
he was more concerned with how different weather conditions would affect his game after Laser Eye Surgery.
After his surgery, Tiger went on to win the first five tour events he played after having the surgery. Then a further four consecutive competitions starting with the U.S. Open
in 2000. It is not surprising that after the great improvement to his eyesight after treatment and his subsequent sponsorship from TLC Laser Eye Centers, which netted him a cool 2 millions dollars - Laser Eye Surgery really took off.
After his treatment Woods says that the holes now look bigger and his ability to read greens has improved.
Many of the great golfers of today have had Lasik Laser Eye Surgery, what we forget is that they all get the procedure for free from sponsorship. Other that Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington, Retief Goosen and Scott Hoch have also had the treatment done.
If you want to be as good as Tiger Woods... probably best to work on your drive and putt first.
