I hope he hits a few in the water on Sunday.
There are no water hazards on Olympic so that won't happen.
Seems golfers are held to a much higher standard; the stuff Tiger did
would barely be acknowledged in the hockey or basketball world for example.
The other difference is golfers don't have tattoos!

If golfers don't have tattoos, that means their IQ must be higher!

There is no such thing as being a good father without being a good husband.
Biggest load of bullshit I've read in a month.

That might be fine for you but Tiger was God to a lot of folks and then he behaved like an ordinary person.
This is what you should have said. This is what happens when people expect other people, even famous ones, to be gods. The fault lies in your expectations.
He ain't the best in the game these days. Stop living in the past, dude.

Do all "ordinary" people cheat on their wives with multiple partners when the wife is home pregnant with the kids?
He's a crappy tipper and seems to care about nobody but himself. As Rich Reilly wrote (I'm paraphrasing), I'm in awe of his talent and deplore his behavior. When Hank Haney's book came out, not one of Tiger's friends came to his defense. That's more telling than the book itself.

1. Most "ordinary" people I know don't get the opportunity to cheat like Tiger did
2. Maybe he has bad friends or maybe the media didn't want to hear from them.
3. Everyone does crappy things. Tiger, like all rich and successful people, are just ordinary people with lots of money or success. Don't let yourself or your kids worship ANYONE.
How do you know he is a crappy tipper? Did he ever tip you? Did you see him tip somebody? Why do people choose to believe any old crap said by someone with an axe to grind? Funny how all these people said this stuff when he was going through a bad patch. Never had the cojones to say anything before, and now they've gone into hiding again.

I like how he cracked the cameraman walking off the 18th today ,then feigned like it was an acident and he might have injured his hand. Finally an interviewer(Golf Channel/NBC) with cojones ,called him on it.
I didn't know Rachel U postes on letsrun! Sweet!

Wow. I wonder how your friends, family and colleagues would judge you. I bet they all think you're a really swell person. You must be pretty awesome to be able tostand in judgement of a person you have never even met. Let me guess...you don't have to meet him to know he's a "crappy human being." Everything you need to know about him you can learn by what you have seen and heard in the media. Your statement really reveals a whole lot more about what kind of person you are than it does about who Tiger Woods is.
And yes, I think he's a great golfer, and I don't know what kind of person he is nor am I particularly concerned. He entertains me on a Sunday evening; he's not my pastor, my spouse, my child's teacher or my friend.
I used to root for him. Not anymore. He isn't entertaining anymore nowbthat he isn't winning and his bad sportsmanship and anger and behavior on the courses and off demonstrate the spoiled self entitled attitudes most of the rest of the pro athletes seem to have.
How do you know he was ever a great golfer? Do you believe every hero story the sports media spins?

Who's better? The one guy I might give you would be Dufner, but even his play isn't backed by any long term success. Tiger has two wins this year, tied with Dufner for tops in the PGA. No majors, correct, but he's only one major behind a long line of one and done wannabes. Look at the meaningful stats, Tiger's right up there in most categories. He certainly still has consistancy issues, but there isn't a better over-all golfer out there right now.
When all the sponsors and media turned on him after the problems with his marriage, he should have told them to go eff themselves. Let's see how you all do without me. Golf ratings ain't sh&t without Tiger.
He had plenty of great and a great opportunity to expose the hypocrites but he showed no balls
