Tiger Woods, like The Messiah, is a half-breed, and although he once had a tremendous steroid-enhanced body and physical skill, once his mental ego was crushed when his diddlings caused his blonde trophy-wife to leave him, he was no longer feared by opponents. His intimidation evaporated when young-blood new golfers knew he COULD be beaten, and has NOT been the same since.
For the fools who follow celebrity as some sort of God-like attraction, he remains defended despite rule-breaking, rule-bending, and ONLY because he is touted as "Black" is he a feature that draws hangers-on and Politically Correct followers. He no longer commands the Endorsement Contracts he had previously, and his attitude is arrogant, beyond belief.
I was at the Masters in 1998, when Mark O'Meara won, yet the bulk of the attention and media coverage ALWAYS includes Woods, even when he's not even on the Leader Board. Likewise, you will see the Leaderboard on the Networks with his name listed, even though he is not contending amongst the leaders, and may be in 15th place, when they list the Top Ten Leaders, plus a bottom line of Tiger Woods position and score. Even when the Leaders are hitting shots, the cameras are on Woods, missing live action of the players who are at THE TOP.
Get over it....he's a has-been.

Yeah; you can apply your same whole-cloth argument to the U.S. Constitution, like the Liberals/Progressives/Socialists do....it's "Antiquated and overly harsh", too, in THEIR minds.

When Bobby Jones was once praised for calling a penalty on himself that no one else noticed, he replied "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank as to praise him for playing by the rules."

Worshipped for being Black, having suffered from slavery, Jim Crow, and all other sins of the society. Worship uniting the nation across the political spectrum. Worship of the untalented singers, actors, film directors, all for their being black.

SPOT-ON....but.....it’s Politically Correct and that’s all that matters to the 47% + those with “White Guilt”.

Seen alot of mistakes at the Pro level.
Saw an interview with Ben Crenshaw this morning on the Golf Channel and he stated that there has never been a tournament he has played in where he hasn't had to call a rules official over to discuss a potential shot penalty......
As a side note, why are the Woods detractors so focused on him and yet there is no mention about the total lack of television coverage of Scott Piercy? Point being, every shot Woods makes is being televised and viewed by millions and subjected to scrutiny. And yet a golfer such as Piercy gets no coverage at all and thus no chance of having committed a penalty that only a viewer would notice........
just sayin'......

The committee decided to penalize him for cheating. But let him play on? OMG! Bobby Jones is rolling over in his grave.
Cheating??? Your bias against Woods is evident for all to see. He didn't cheat and the tournament rules committee gave a full explanation as to what happened..........since you obviously never watched it or read it, here's a link...........

Learn the new rule on the outdated antiquated scorecard rule - 33-7. Augusta applied this new rule absolutely correctly. Agreed. I don't care for Tiger anymore, but gentlemen like Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson always said to let the rules work for you whenever possible.

So let's supplement the instant replay of professional baseball, football and basketball and give all TV watchers an opportunity to show why the officials (umpires or referees) erroneous calls wrongly decided the winner of the game.
The Masters officials made their ruling after the placement of the ball. Subsequently a TV caller raised an issue. The original decision of the Masters officials then got reversed. So lets do the same for all sports professional and amateur.
Maybe we should also require a pimp of the legal industry (a lawyer) to be present in a position to override the game officials. This could really be a windfall for the legal industry!

I remember him as a golfer, but didn’t follow him enough to get your reference.

Tiger Woods is a deeply flawed role model. This is another case that proves he's still not walking the walk while talking the talk. Tiger is a hypocrite.

Tiger Woods is a deeply flawed role model.
So who set him up as a role model? In fact, who attempts to make any athlete out to be a "role model" if not your MSM?
You know as well as I do that they're more than willing to create a so called "role model" just so they can destroy him.........
"Maverick McCain" comes to mind..........When was the last time you ever heard that term?
