He is one of the few athletes that would make a good role model for a kid.

Nearly every member of The Tour is a good role model. These are highly achieving men rooted firmly in reality.

This is true. One reason the PGA Tour is my favorite sport (and I don't even golf!) is that the players are only paid if they do well (endorsements notwithstanding).

I mentioned Tiger as a role model becaue IMO he is the only tour player to enjoy the same superstar status as players in more high-profile sports like NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. And those sports are riddled with players (Michael Vick, steroid users, people covered in tattoos, inarticulate losers, etc) who do not make good role models.
