No joke, Tiger Woods did more damage to the game than anybody. Even before his personal life exploded, there was plenty to not like about Tiger and his fanbois were willing to overlook a lot. On the rare occasions that Tiger would attend PGA social functions, he would show up late, act alternately pissy and bored, and leave early. His fellow players thought it was better when he didn’t even show up.
He’s never respected his fellow players, he’s always rolled in like he owned the place and they were the hired help. Tiger acted like this in the early days before he had even won anything. He WAS a good golfer but his disrespect for the game and fellow golfers was always a problem. Now that his last major win was 10 years ago, he’s got nothing and it’s not like his fellow golfers are lining up to tell the world that he really is a good guy. When one of them does, it’s noteworthy because it’s so rare. Tom Watson had it right. After being caught on video cheating at the 2013 BMW Championship, getting a two-stroke penalty, and still arguing heatedly with PGA officials despite it BEING ON VIDEO, I’ve got no respect for Woods. Winning at golf is all he’s got. Now that he hasn’t done that in a decade, it’s obvious that he’s got nothing.
Georgia Alum, Bubba Watson first to congratulate him after the round......
That’s good. I don’t want to think of him as this kind of guy and I won’t until I see some proof of damning testimony from somebody VERY respectable. UGA teammates saw him cheat (allegedly). UGA teammates say that he ripped $400, a watch, and a putter. Notice that none of this requires a shred of proof, the stories are all years old and impossible to say one way or the other. What kind of idiot leaves $400 in cash and a watch laying around? Anybody wanna answer that?
Thanks for sharing...NOT!
“not supposed to move grass in your backswing . . . “
What about all those azaleas Rory Mcilroy killed blasting out of them ?
Evidence that he’s racist: He’s white and he beat Tiger Woods.
He should have knocked a few in the water to give Tiger a chance this year.
Headline on CBSSports.com : “2018 Masters scores: Tiger Woods turns in best performance on Sunday to close out Augusta return” After all, he did manage to tie for 32nd. He’s entitled.
If you knock the ball in the hole with the least amount of strokes over 72 holes at Augusta National the first week in April then you are a Masters Champion.
It don’t matter what your past is.
Congratulations Patrick Reed.
No, not at all.
that is why I carry a chain saw in my golf bag.
No, 5 years for PGA and US Open. Not sure of the British Open. Lifetime for the Masters.
until hes 65 for the british i think if he wins
The azaleas were not in a hazard, so it was not against the rules for McIlroy to hit them in his backswing.
The Azaleas want a rule change for next year.
Did the article say Reed plays checkers? lol
Funny how when some folks’ heroes don’t prevail, they find solace in harping on the past faults of those who conquered them.....
Alleged past faults !
And pretty flimsy allegations at that !
Incidents with no proof means what? Nobody comes close to T Woods and his affairs with 14 whores, the diseases he gave his wife, while his little kids sat in the background.
I was pulling for Jordan, but Reed was tough. I am stunned that this crap about Reed is being put out there.... Let the guy have his win. Maybe Reed is too Patriotic for our liberal sports news folks.
Twitter posts aren’t news.
Interesting article otherwise.
If you get a chance, read up on the 1968 Masters win by Bob Goalby over Roberto de Vicenzo. Weird things happen at the Masters....
