Scandals aside, he was a great player. He’s losing his edge, but that doesn’t take away from his sporting legacy

His "sporting legacy" is questionable, to say the least. Yes, he won a lot of tournaments. But golf has traditionally been a gentleman's game and the last few years has seen the goon factor in professional golf explode exponentially. The brainless demeanor of drunken fans on the course during play ("You da man!! IN the hole!!!") is matched by the obnoxious behavior of some players, notably Tiger's temper tantrums (referred to above) and less than stellar off-course behavior.

Bobby Jones is rolling in his grave.

Actually, to many people, that would depend on whether or not he used PEDs.

Oh it doesn’t take away from his sporting legacy? Please tell me why it is different if you swing a baseball bat or ride a racing bike you’re guilty and are disgraced, but a golf club protects you from criticism and DE-Idolization?
