Tiger Woods Autograph

Tiger Woods, a man that is one of the top five people with world-wide recognition, made major headlines this week. Apparently, he crashed his SUV after his leaving a possible argument with his wife. It is reported that the back windows were broken with a golf club. As of this writing, Tiger is not speaking out as to what happened.

I wanted to take a look at his handwriting, to gain clues into how he might have gotten in a predicament, such as this.

As I always state, a signature is not an adequate sample for a full interpretation. It does give much insight though, into his “public face”.

The striking qualities of this signature are the lower zone loop on the “g”, the huge capitals, the small middle zone part of the letters, the ascending quality to the capitals, and the long horizontal stroke at the end.

These patterns tell us that he was extremely ambitious as seen in the size of the capitals and the fact that they are ascending – heading up to the stars, one might say. Present too is, one might say, a superiority complex covering up an inferiority complex. I wonder if part of Tiger’s immense drive has some roots in trying to prove himself to his father. Though an only child of his parents, his father had three children from his first marriage.

His great physical mindedness is depicted in his letter “g”. We often see this in great athletes as this is the area of our physicality. There is a great rhythm and swing to this stroke. The imagery can be seen of a full golf stroke when this is coupled with how he forms his “T”.

With so much of his psyche being devoted to ambition and athletics, there isn’t much left for the emotional realm as is seen in the middle zone letters. He is not one that “does emotions”. The horizontal stroke is sometimes referred to as an “accountant’s stroke” as this is a very cautious ending; putting the brakes on, you might say.
Remember: What we don’t honor in ourselves, we often project onto others.
Being that he keeps his emotions bottled up, coupled with this type of caution, I would venture a guess that there is a great possibility that his wife is the one that “does the emotions”. It can be very frustrating for someone that wants to engage, be it a conversation or an argument, when the other party is emotionally shut down.

It is my opinion that there is a good chance that Tiger’s ambition, lack of emotional involvement, and caution prove to be frustrating to someone wanting a deeper relationship with him. Also, given the vanity present in this writing, it is not out of the question that he possibly had relationship(s) outside of his marriage.
