Tiger Woods and Luck

Farmingdale, N.Y. – Tiger Woods, the player of this era who best knows how to control his own destiny, has often spoken of the importance of luck in many outcomes. Whether Woods and his fellow competitors in the 109th U.S. Open at Bethpage State Park feel lucky when the championship resumes at 7:30 a.m. Saturday is definitely out of their control. It’s all up to Mother Nature, really.

On chance or randomness or LUCK

"When we look at extraordinary accomplishments, we should keep in mind that extraordinary events can happen without extraordinary causes. Random events (luck) often look like non random event and in interpreting human affairs we must take care not to confuse the two." -----Leonard Mlodinow, The Drunkard's Walk
