The downfall for this kid is the dad.

Don't put too much pressure on the young man. Dad needs to get a real job to help support the family.

Exactly what I thought. Dads trying to live through his kid. Quitting his job to help his son with golf telling his little kid who's around 13-14 that he's broke cause of him. One day the kid may grow up to not become interested in golf and if he's 18-19 there's nothing daddy can do. He'll be a broke SOB while his kid doesn't know what he is anymore because everything he grew up to be was for his dad so he'll be lost with himself. Bad situation

@@robertmiller6910 Exactly. I mean no disrespect, but that's the problem with parents who have never had anything; they look at their children as tickets out of a bad situation, which lets be honest, the parents created themselves in the first place. This is America, not Saudi Arabia, India, or China. We are all individuals. While there are MANY people in this country who are on hard times, using the excuse that "we never had anything" doesn't work in my mind. Yes, there are people born less fortunate, a minority who has to deal with racial hardships, but there's not a single law or practice in 2018 which flat out denies success to those who commit and work hard. I like his mom a lot actually; she's more concerned with him walking across that stage and getting a college degree vs. killing himself, straining his relationships trying to be the next Tiger Woods. She's realistic and practical. What if he falls out of love with the game and wants to do something else with his life that makes him happy at that point? It would devastate his father...which goes to show that Kris' happiness isn't priority #1 to his dad, but making tons of money is.

beautiful story and amazing to see parents that care and willing to learn to bring up their son the right way. and tge Pearson family...that is something special too. beautiful hearts

People say they are unemployed if they don't have a job but are seriously looking for one. The father is looking for a gravy train via his son,. This family also has a daughter who evidently just has to suck it up.

If his dad got a job wouldn't he be able to afford to go to tournaments and college? Like can't he work during the day when his son is at school, is working with chris that big of a time commitment? Idk I'm just trying to use logic

Just a reminder: When Tiger was 3 years old, he won the drive, chip and putt competition at Augusta FOR TEN YEAR OLDS !!! And when he was 10 years old he was shooting even par 36 on 9 hole courses -- AT AGE TEN! Still want "next Tiger" stories?

Someone has to take that father the hell away from him with regard to golf. He will destroy that kid's future in golf.

Sounds like the dad is really hoping the boy makes it, so he doesn't have to go to work. Doesn't look like dad has missed any meals though!

This is so bad. His dad is a lazy fool who lets the mom work. "We're going to be rich!" "I put him on the range in the snow." They shamelessly leech off a guilty old white guy. He's a decent golfer but he wins next to nothing. He won some little kids events with light competition but look him up now he isn't winning anything big. The father ignores the other kids. Shameless. Why doesn't dad deliver pizza or mow lawns? At least bring some money home. Dad: “I don’t have any money because i gave it all to you.” No he has no money because he doesn’t WORK. California is easy- this Poot kid can go to community college for free for 2yrs and make a 3.0 he gets guaranteed into a California state school. You don’t spend $200-300 per tournament for 15yrs and save enough money for college.

I don't appreciate a grown healthy man saying he is unemployed and look happy saying it. He needs to get a real job and help the hero in the story his hardworking wife. I have two daughters in college and I work to help them. It's a pleasure to hear say that you dady.

This is what you do and represent a critical component as to grooming a young Protégée...I hope he continues and he appears to have a good foundation of support. GO KRIS!!!!!!!!

What a great inspirational story: Kris now a college golfer! And ha been called The Next Tiger. What a sweet and nice kid!

This is humbling

You can just see that strong sense of determination in his eyes. He seems destined for great things

First 14 seconds into the clip and I like him already. Refreshing to see such a young kid with integrity. Make your own path, don't let people compare you to someone just because you share a skin tone. This is even funnier because Tiger Woods is more East Asian (Thai) than anything else.

Strive for greatness young blood !

Salute MOM & KRIS & their Guardians & to his dad who realized the potential in there kids & especially ie...want him to succeed in school

Kinda funny that y’all hating on the dad because he USE to be a certain way, and y’all are completely ignoring the fact that he changed. Make your mind up

Thank you for helping kris and his family...good luck kris

super awesome!!!

Amazing.

Golf is such a hard sport to predict where this kid will be at talent wise by the time he's 20 (i realize this video is 2 years old). He seems to be intelligent and has a good attitude so that helps. Let's see how he fares if/when he's a freshman in college. Jumping from being a "big fish" in my state in high school golf to not even being on the traveling squad on my college team was a tough pill to swallow and I ended up quitting the game for about a decade. I started playing again for the love of the sport when I was around 30 and by 32 was an assistant professional at a private 54 hole club that hosts a Champions Tour event, took and passed my PAT and got into the PGA apprentice program, and ended up making a career out of golf...just not how I envisioned it when I was a kid dreaming of playing on the PGA Tour. I'm pulling for this kid to get that scholarship and get his degree. If his talents take him even further that's a great bonus. And bless those people at Oakmont CC in Glendale that are helping Kris with his golf expenses. Believe it or not things like this happen more than you think, it's just that many people who do things like this for others prefer to stay out of the spotlight.

Go kris! I know this kid, truly an inspiration 💗

For all you talking about the dad watch till the end

its parents like this that keep kids from achieving their true potential. i remember when i was 8 and i played a bad game in hockey my dad would drive me down to the local field to run laps. i was great at hockey but quit when a pro team wanted me out of fear of what would happen next

The best mom ever providing everything for the family and giving her husband the opportunity to make help their son achieve his goal and becoming a professional kudos to the mom

That’s a nightmare of a dad. A father should not see his child as a meal ticket! But thank God for people like the Pearsons, not only for the financial support, but for helping this dad see his child and not the dollar signs, and helping him be a better dad. A shout out to the mother for supporting your family and for realizing that education is the key. God bless.

Why can't we love that this family is making sacrifices to try to better their kids chances of success.

Passion is the key to success. I remember watching the 2005 Australian Open when Serena played Maria Sharapova in the semis and Maria had Serena dead on her feet and one point away from victory; moreover, this was less than a year from Maria giving Serena her worst beating at Wimbledon. Serena came all way back to win and during her come back victory, Mary Carillo, yelled with excitement, how do you raise a child to have so much fight?! Steve Jobs‘ books never mentions money. Passion and finding alike thinking people. His life is direct reflection of that, kicked out of his own company, Apple floundered util he came back. When Tiger was 20 just turned pro and the season was almost finished and he was trying qualify for the tour and someone asked him when you standing over a putt and it for x amount of dollars, do you get nervous? Tiger said, I never thinking about money, never ever. You can not teach fight and passion and talking about money not the way. That’s why we crappy doctors and lawyers they wanna be Doctors and lawyers but don’t really have that passion to work hard.

Keep it up,and may you rise in golf by leaps and bounds!

God bless u and your family, your son is truly gifted. Keep your faith in god he has a plan for you all. He always finds a way. Bless u all.

Just so you know....as for golf, it's not how good you are to a certain degree, it's if you can come up with that sponsor money to get in the tournaments as a professional golfer. No knock on the young man, but when he and his family comes to that crossroad, this will be the challenge, not just his talent. Q-school is a way to earn the pro card, but he will need major sponsors to get into tournaments, travel, and eat. Good luck young man and hope you get the break, that all of us didn't get at that time in our crossroads. Sponsorship is everything in golf......"Golf is the greatest game ever, that no one can beat!"

I hope he follows through and works hard so his dreams can come true.
