• W123127002 abstract "Tiger Woods's twelve-shot victory at the 1997 Masters Golf Tournament took place at the Augusta National, 'a club that no black man was allowed to join until six years ago, at the tournament whose founder, Clifford Roberts, once said, `As long as I'm alive, golfers will be white, and caddies will be black' (Reilly 1977, 35). At twenty-one, Woods has clearly shaken up the popular image of golf--both with his precocious skills and with his race. The reality may be that golf is played on public courses, taken for college credit, and enjoyed by a variety of men and women all around the world. But it is no revelation that the sport's mystique is maintained by its association with the Exclusive Country Club, the rare but not obliterated site of racial segregation and carefully policed class boundaries. Indeed, some commentators have embraced Tiger Woods as a spokesperson for race relations in the 1990s. There have been a number of comparisons made in the press between Woods and Jackie Robinson. But more than taking on the legacy of Robinson and other color-line breakers, Woods became an icon for all sides: for race, nonrace, and mixed race. After Frank Fuzzy Zoeller publicly dismissed Woods as boy, along with other racial slurs, a boycott campaign ensued against K-Mart, which carried a line of golf clothing and equipment endorsed by Zoeller. Without fanfare, K-Mart dumped the line. Soon after his coup at the Masters, Woods set off a flurry of controversy on The Oprah Winfrey Show by insisting that he was Cablinasian (his own Caliban-like acronym for his Caucasian, black, American Indian, Thai, and Chinese roots). In a story that followed the Oprah episode, Time magazine used Woods's acronym as an example of how America is becoming a melding [sic] pot--the sign of a future where race may be so ambiguous as not to matter (White 1997, 33). It is not clear to me that Woods's identification with several racial identities is an indication that we have reached a point in history when race does not matter (though Time's representation of mixed race as news caters to a general public ignorance of the history of race and its social construction). Wood's racial fluidity has lent itself to the marketing of his image as an icon of race neutrality. I cannot help but notice how quickly Woods's success has been sculpted into an orthodox and colorless narrative of uplift. In contrast to the racialist images of deadbeat dads and welfare mothers that occupy America's imagination, Tiger's parents, Earl and Kultida, gave steady attention and discipline to their young prodigy, beginning his golf swing lessons in the high chair. Earl Woods, whose child-rearing techniques are described in his recent book, Training a Tiger, credits Tiger's success to consistent shows of affection combined with lessons of military discipline culled from Earl's Green Beret training (Woods 1997). Kultida stayed home from work to raise their child full-time. Not surprisingly, as smoothly as Tiger slipped into his green Masters' champion jacket, Woods's upbringing has been shaped into an exemplar of race-neutral family values. The battle of the country clubs fades into the background. Tiger's formula for success, it turns out, is one that any family could follow: discipline, affection and family involvement. Even Earl Woods' confession that Tiger asked him to check out the pretty women among the spectators while he plays smacks of the banality of a rock video. This is not to say that it does not matter to America that Tiger Woods is not white, but that America's stamina for reflexive racial analysis is short. Why bring up Tiger Woods in this context of the future of race in Shakespeare and early modern English studies? In the essay that follows, I want to suggest that the narrative of racial transcendence in the Tiger Woods story betrays a larger impatience with race and race studies. Like golf, until early modern English studies relatively recently has been an unraced enterprise. …" @default.
