| Tiger's relationship with Jack Nicklaus (our Moses) is a strong indicator that something much larger is at work. Not only has Tiger spoken of a "weird...unspoken...bond" that they share, but Tiger has won each of the four major championships in which Jack said goodbye to the event. |

| If you don't believe us, just look at some of the things that OTHERS have said about Tiger over the years that seem to indicate THEY also think he could be God. Check out the Pastor's essays section for the article entitled "Bible-Like Quotes About Tiger" |
| |
| Even the Bible itself speaks clearly to Tiger's divinity. Numerous prophecies in the Bible predict several aspects of the Messiah that relate to Tiger. To find out more, go to the Pastor's essay section and check out "Our Interpretation of the Prophecies." |

| On Christmas Day, 2001, the Showtime Network decided to broadcast The Tiger Woods Story movie!
Considering the careful, long term and strategic planning that goes into network programming, one can not simply write this off as mere coincidence!
It's OBVIOUS to us here at the First Church that the media movers and shakers know the TRUTH, and that they are slowly "preparing" the masses for the ultimate revelation! |

| As of the 2001 U.S. Open, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has RISEN the next day each of the last 20 times that Tiger Woods has completed a U.S. tournament. In fact, since the dawning of the year 2000, the Dow has risen the next day of trading after Tiger has played in the U.S. an incredible 26 out of 27 times!! It is interesting to note that the lone exception to this "rule" came after Tiger lost the 2000 TPC to Hal Sutton during a MONDAY MORNING finish. The Dow actually went UP 183 points in early trading before finishing lower. The NEXT day the Dow went UP 169 before finishing lower. It is also important to note that THIS WEBSITE LAUNCHED just a few days LATER!! For those of you non-believers who may think that this is all simply a coincidence, consider that, traditionally, the WORST day for the Dow Jones has always been MONDAY! |

| While it would be impossible to pinpoint all of Tiger's "super human" golf shots during his career, two do stand out from a religious perspective. The first was his surreal, "in the dark shot" at the final hole of the 2000 NEC Invitational in which he knocked his approach to within two feet to win the tournament by 11 shots and caused the gallery to greet him with cigarette lighters ablaze as he walked up the fairway. The second occurred at the final hole of the 2000 Canadian Open where Tiger hit a 216-yard 6 iron from SAND (desert) over WATER (which he could have walked on) to win the tournament by a single shot.
The other "phenomenon" in this area is the fact that at least THREE times Tiger has won major titles using a shot that, for some "strange" reason, he and Butch Harmon had been practicing the week of the tournament. These include his 2nd U.S. Amateur title (knock down 8 iron), his third Amateur title (cut 6 iron), and his 2nd Masters title (draw 3 wood at 13). Could there be divine inspiration involved here? |

| One of Tiger's most remarkable non-golfing abilities seems to be his power to both diagnose and instantly heal any injuries that he may sustain. At the 1999 Tour Championship Tiger purposely struck a large rock that was in front of his ball causing him GREAT pain. For the remainder of the round Tiger was not even able to complete his swing and was bent over in pain after every shot (he went one under par the rest of the way!). Immediately after the round Tiger, completely unfazed, agreed to be interviewed before seeking any treatment and calmly stated that he simply had a "stinger" and that everything would be just fine and that he would not have to withdraw. The 23 year old college "drop out" was exactly right. The other incident occurred at the 2001 Pebble Beach Pro-Am where Tiger was trampled by an autograph seeker the day before the first round and Tiger sustained a strained ligament in his left knee. Remarkably, Tiger played early the next morning and finished the day near the top of the leaderboard. |

| Tiger is not only the youngest person to do almost everything golf, he has also performed his best at the holiest sites in golf. His first major victory occured at Augusta National. His first repeat win took place at Jack's place, Murfield Village. His U.S. Open triumph happened at Pebble Beach and he completed the Grand Slam at the birthplace of the sport, St. Andrews. |
| |
| Tiger's father, Earl, has confirmed that he and Tiger each possess the supernatural ability of mental telepathy. Earl made this statement on two separate occasions to Sports Illustrated and credits their telepathic talent for helping Tiger win the 1999 PGA Championship while Earl was watching on television. What is still unknown is whether this remarkable power is limited to "over the air" TV, or whether it also works through cable and satellite television. |
| |
| Tiger won the 2000 U.S. Open (Jack's last) by 15 shots at Pebble Beach. His only mistake all week was when he took his own name in vain ("God Damn it you fucking prick")after hitting into the Pacific Ocean. Enough said. |
| |
| Tiger caddied for his college friend, Jerry Chang, at this year's U.S. Publinks qualifier. He caddied 36 holes in 100 degree heat. While Jesus washed the feet of his apostles, Tiger washed his clubs and balls (far more demeaning for a "man"). Advantage Tiger. |
| |
| Tiger's current (and as far as we know, only) serious girlfriend is named Joanna Jagoda. JaGODa, it is so obvious folks! This is a CLEAR sign! Why aren't more people catching on?! |
| |
| After defeating Tiger by one shot at the 2000 TPC (at a course where the Pastor was once a member) Hal Sutton (with whom the Pastor used to "hang out" as a kid) felt compelled to directly DENY Tiger's divinity. Sutton said, "When I lay down at night I do not Pray to Tiger. He is not a God." Just as the true Messiah denies his divinty (at least according to Monty Python's "Life of Brian"), having OTHERS go out of their way to deny your divinty seems like strong evidence that something is going on here. |
| |
| In a cryptic message that combines the mystery of the scriptures with a Beatles record, the background singers in the PlayStation EA Sports 1999 edition of Tiger Woods PGA Tour golf, say the following words "In the begining, God created the Heavens and the Earth...and then there was (unintelligible)." I can not tell what the last word in the sentence is. Could it be "Tiger"? If anyone THINKS they know please inform the Pastor. |
| |
| Earl Woods' pronouncement that Tiger "is the Chosen One." Jesus Christ also left it up to others (including his "father" Joseph) to declare his divinity. However, there is no mention in the Bible of Joseph claiming (as Earl has) that his other three children from his first marriage were sent by God as "practice" for his "Messiah" son. |
| |
| While Tiger himself has never declared his Divinity (much the same as Jesus Christ), he did say after shooting 68 in the final round of the 2000 Buick Invitational, "To be under par, as bad as I was hitting it today, was kind of a MIRACLE." |
| |
| Other Tiger miracles include: the comebacks in the 1994 and 1996 U.S. Amateur final, winning the 1997 Masters by 12 shots after shooting 40 on the first nine, the comeback at the 2000 Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the moving of the boulder at the 1999 Phoenix Open (see photo gallery), hitting through the rock at the 1999 Tour Championship, and the breaking of his driver at the 2000 Buick Invitational and hitting it 280 down the middle and making birdie. |
| |
| On the 16th hole of the final round of the 1997 Masters Tiger hit a bad shot (for him) and the TV camera clearly caught him mutter, "GOD! TIGER!." Now if there were NO TV cameras there and instead only a few eyewitnesses (which is all there was in the day of Jesus), we are quite sure this statement could have been easily morphed over time into "I am God! I am Tiger!" It is simply much more difficult to be thought of as the Messiah when there are cameras to record how things actually happened. |
| |
| The weather forecast in Augusta for that Sunday in 1997 called for 100% chance of rain as late as Sunday morning. It never rained during play. |
| |
| Tiger can sense evil. After winning the 1997 Masters Tiger boldly declined President Clinton's offer to be exploited for political gain at an event honoring Jackie Robinson. |
| |
| Tiger's birthday is December 30th, which is much closer to Christmas day than what most scholars believe was Jesus Christ's actual birthday. |
| |
| Much like Jesus, Tiger made quite a stir as a child. Jesus had three "Wise men" visit him in his manger and had the King call for all the two year olds and younger to be killed. At the age of two Tiger appeared on the "Mike Douglas Show" with Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart (3 "Wise crackers"). There is no known evidence however that Arnold Palmer (the "King") ordered there to be any harm done to him. |
| |
| The Nike commercial where Tiger bounces the ball on his wedge for exactly 27 seconds before ripping one down the middle. We don't think Jesus could do this on His home course on Easter Sunday. |
| |
| Tiger even has control over the animals. While posing for a 1998 Sports Illustrated cover with a real royal Bengal tiger named Samson, the previously agitated 650-pound animal stopped growling as soon as he saw Tiger. Said the tiger's trainer, "That young man projects supreme confidence like no one I've ever seen. You can't fake that with a big cat. Samson sensed no weakness or fear in Tiger, just power and inner peace." |
| |
| In a world that still harbors remarkable racial divisions, wouldn't it make sense for the Messiah to come in the form of someone who is one-quarter black, one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Thai, one-eighth American Indian, and one-eighth white? Appropriately, Tiger has even created his own ethnic group: "Cablinasian," which he introduced to the world on the Oprah Winfrey Show. |
| |
| Jesus gave his mother the gift of changing water into wine at a marriage feast. Tiger bought his mother a house in Tustin, California and gave his mother the keys to a new car after winning the 1999 Buick Invitational (see photo gallery). |
| |
| Michael Jordan, the man who made an entire nation and much of the world "want to be like Mike," would rather be Tiger Woods. Jordan even once said of Tiger, "I really do believe he was put here for a bigger reason than just to play golf. I don't think that he is a god, but I do believe that he was sent by One." |
