READER LETTER
Reader: Amen, Tiger IS a jerk
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Finally a clear concise representation of why I dislike Tiger, and a publication with the stones to say it. ("Game of honor? Tiger Woods' behavior reveals golf has lost its gentlemanly ways," By Brandon Tucker)
I have been, for many years since Tiger's entry onto the PGA Tour, been defending my dislike for him on the basis he lacks traditional golf behavior skills. Tiger is not the type of golfer I want my (soon to be) children to look up to and take their cues from.
Personally, I find Tiger's fist pumping and tantrum-like behavior to be of low class. He should show more respect toward both the "gentlemen's" sport as well as to the iconic position he finds himself.
