In a story that’s taken the internet by storm, a Florida waiter’s simple good deed got him fired—then landed him a life-changing opportunity, thanks to none other than golf icon Tiger Woods.
It all went down last week at a small diner in Florida, where 27-year-old server Jordan Miles noticed a young woman clearly having a rough day. She was struggling to pay for her meal and fumbling with her phone, trying to make a call. Without thinking twice, Jordan stepped in, covered her tab, and helped her get in touch with a friend.
“I didn’t do it for attention,” Jordan said. “She just looked like she needed someone to be kind.”
What Jordan didn’t realize? That woman was the niece of a staff member at one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the country—and her story was about to explode online.
But the next day, instead of praise, Jordan got a pink slip. The restaurant fired him for “unauthorized comping of meals.” Just like that, he was out of a job.
Then came the twist no one saw coming.
Word of Jordan’s kindness spread quickly, eventually reaching Tiger Woods. Touched by the story, the golf legend contacted Jordan personally. Not only did he express his support, but he also offered him a full-time job at one of his private golf course pro shops.
“He’s exactly the kind of person we need in this sport,” Tiger said in a statement. “Golf isn’t just about skill—it’s about character. And Jordan’s got both.”
Now, Jordan is thriving. He’s working full-time in the clubhouse shop, helping customers with gear and apparel, and even pitching in at charity events.
“I thought I’d lost everything,” he said. “But one small act of kindness turned it all around. Tiger didn’t just give me a job—he gave me a second chance.”
