| Tiger Woods is no credit to the game of golf, reader says. (Chris Baldwin/WorldGolf.com) |
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.

Reader agrees: Desert golf courses in American Southwest slighted by Top 100 rankings
"It is a little far fetched that Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada only have a couple of Top 100 courses in the Golf Magazine list. I have played both We-Ko-Pa Golf Club courses in Scottsdale many times, and let me tell you, it compares with almost any of the Top 100 except the obvious few (Augusta National, Pine Valley, etc)."

Tiger Woods has the same halo effect that Obama has. He is a poor sport and not an asset to the game of golf. Why does everyone praise him ? He is a machine devoid of human emotion. It is all about him even when it is not. I am sick of the coverage that he gets.

Tiger is a great golfer, we all get that. I am sick of hearing stories about him blowing off fans and refusing to sign anything...Jordan was very very fan friendly that is why he is still an Icon. ESPN and the like are in love with Woods, Tiger shoots even par and the LEAD on ESPN News - Masters scores ... Woods -2 ....then they show the top ten...WHAT???? are you kidding me....get over it ESPN, he is great...BUT show the leaders FIRST, give them credit ...can you imgine this going on if Nicklaus or Trevino or Watson were playing at thier peck...NOPE

I agree completely. I concede that he is a indeed a great golfer. However, he is a vile human being and someone needs to teach him a lesson in humility.

Tiger has done more to promote than anyone in this century, or last, especially juniors. I don't mind the fist pumping because so many of them do it now. The profanity I do mind. So many of the young golfers show tempers on the course. They all need to know how to control it.
