You're right, that IS pretty cynical!

I'm not sure it really matters how many times he's gone to Iraq to visit the troops. What would he be doing there anyway? He's an athlete, not a performer. Maybe he could hit a few drives off the tarmac at LSA Anaconda?? That would really get the guys and gals going...

I think he's sincere about caring about the troops and gestures such as those in the article proof enough for me.

Tiger.. go to Iraq and Afghanistan and visit the troops. Show your stuff and just dont limit yourself to saying the right things.

Not sure it matters either. Just curious if he has. By your answer, it seems that he hasn’t.

Curious as to why. Not asked?/Too much of a security problem?/Not intersted? are legitimate questions.

What would he do there? I duuno? Ask Jerry Kelly, another PGA professional who went. I think they go to visit the troops. What do other athletes do when they visit? Ya think that maybe the troops would enjoy seeing/meeting him?

Living longer brings cynicism. Ask Mark Twain. Oops. He’s dead.

He's an athlete, not a performer.

Professional athletes ARE performers.
