Tiger had a dramatic come from behind win yesterday, taking the US Open championship in a playoff. It took all of his skill and focus to overcome intense knee pain to win his greatest championship to date. This championship, which helps solidify the legend and brings him closer to surpassing Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 major wins, was inspirational. As fans, we tend to remember the championships that were won while overcoming adversity and obstacles. There’s Kerri Strug’s 1996 vault on an injured ankle to capture team gold, Michael Jordan leading the Bulls to a NBA Championship on Father’s day the year his father died, and Lance Armstrong’s seven consecutive Tour de France championships as a cancer survivor.

Inspirational victories give us hope and create new dreams. They help us find inner strength to overcome the challenges we face and inspire us to revisit past passions. Tiger’s victory yesterday has undoubtedly inspired thousands back to the golf course in search of the perfect round. At 3LUXE we’ve been tracking an increase in traffic to our Best Of golf reviews. This culminated yesterday with record visits to recently updated club reviews. The most popular reviews may be surprising, Best Of Irons followed closely by Best Of Drivers. My guess is we’ll see an uptake in traffic to Best Of Putters as the season progresses.

Congratulations Tiger and best of luck to everyone pursuing the perfect game.

All the best,
Bill
