I especially dont like Tiger Woods precisely because he is the counter example: he is feted as the virtuous one, the role model, the one who shows that hard work is rewarded.

Yes labor away in your cubicle farms, you Borg drones, and look upon Tiger Woods and know that somewhere, for one person at least, effort is rewarded.

I don't like free enterprise you claim? Our enterprise is becoming less and less free. We live in mixed economy to be strictly accurate and the admixture of unfreedom is becoming greater all the time.

You don't like Tiger Woods because he proves that hard work pays off? Seems to me your problem is not with Tiger Woods, but with your own preconcieved mindset.

You are very correct to state that by working for others you are not likely to become wealthy or overly rewarded, certainly some will, but the most will not become wealthy through these means. Of course working for others contains very little risk as well... you do not get the big reward by taking little risk. Some people are happy and content to have a good home and a steady paycheck, others are not. Do not belittle those who are. Tiger Woods certainly is not an example of the cubicle worker, the effort and dedication he put forth to get where he is is far beyond 9-5. You want the big reward, take the risk or sit down, no ones gonna hand you the brass ring you have to earn it.

Are there bad regulations? Certainly. But if you think NO REGULATIONS is the way to go you are are incredibly naive.
