The two thin bands encircling Woods' wrist came up on Sunday, near
the end of his interview with Golf Channel reporter Kelly Tilghman.
Woods also spoke to ESPN. The interviews were his first since Woods'
serial infidelity became known late last year and he began undergoing
therapy.
Tilghman said she noticed the bracelet and
asked what it meant.
"It's Buddhist," Woods said,
referring to his childhood faith. "It's for protection and strength. And
I certainly need that,"
Woods explained he had been
wearing the bracelet since before he went into treatment and he would
wear it during the Masters. Beyond that, he didn't discuss its
significance or origin.
However, it is common for
Buddhists to wear such items as a reminder of their faith, said Jimmy
Yu, professor of Buddhist and Chinese Studies at Florida State
University in Tallahassee.
"Sometimes Buddhists, when
they receive some kind of initiation into a certain practice, especially
in the Tibetan
Mala Beads tradition, they would be given a red thread, (to) go
around the wrist," said Yu. "It sounds like this is what he was
wearing."
Wearing bracelets, necklaces or
other reminders of their faith are fairly common for practitioners of
Buddhism, Yu said.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of
Websites sell Buddhist jewelry, from 24-karat gold Buddha necklaces to
simple wooden malas, or prayer beads, that practitioners can use while
meditating.
Slightly elongated head profile produces a
driver with a higher moment of inertia resulting in straighter drives on
off-center hits. The increased "footprint" also inspires more
confidence over every drive.
Titanium Head with External
Tungsten weight Pads
Ping engineers have utilized a
titanium body and tungsten perimeter weighting to optimize the center of
gravity location to create a high launch and low spin rate as well as
increase the moment of inertia resulting in longer and straighter
drives.
Thin Crown Design Technology
Low
stress areas are "thinned" resulting in additional discretionary weight
that is redistributed into the tungsten perimeter weighting helping to
optimize launch and spin along with increasing the moment of inertia.
Head Designed for Powerful Sound
The
multi-material head design is fine tuned using finite element analysis
(FEA). FEA is a tool that helps PING engineers optimize the head design
in a virtual environment for performance, durability, feel and sound.
The finished result is a driver with powerful performance and sound.
Thin Machined Variable Face with Robotic Plasma weld
Precisely machined, thin variable-thickness face leads to
exceptional performance including higher ball speed. The Robotic Plasma
Weld improves durability and saves weight, which is redistributed in the
external tungsten weight pads.
New Dual Rapture Graphic
Alignment Aid
New, visually appealing alignment aid
will inspire additional confidence in your game by making sure you are
aligned squarely to your target every time.
