Seeing guys do things that nobody else can do is why most of us watch sports. Tiger has the ability to do things on the course that nobody else has done yet. I understand rooting for other guys to beat him but I don't understand refusing to appreciate greatness.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

Just to name a few.

most of that stuff is from a looong time ago ... but it's not like he dominated the statistical categories ...
either way - the guy's a great golfer no doubt ... but i actually like cheering for guys that aren't pricks - that's all ... but i'm a socialist tree hugger who believes that class is more important than winning ...
edit: and the point about tiger doing things others can't do is kinda false ... it's really his overall game that has allowed him to regain #1 ... it's not like he can draw or cut it like bubba or have the short game of phil ...
back in the day, Arnold Palmer banged anything that moved
just sayin'
I got a good story....since this is the GOLF thread, even tho it seems like the TIGER thread...
back in the day, my mom (like most of the ladies ) was a definite member of arnie's army....she had volunteered at a tournament in columbus, ohio (pre-memorial, I'm pretty sure)....everyone knew my mom as Ace, even tho her given name was lorraine....arnie hit a bad shot that struck my mom in the shoulder....the next day, the Columbus Dispatch has a big picture of my mom, pointing to her shoulder with the headline "Arnie Makes Hit With Ace"
a month or so later, he sent her a putter in the mail. it hung in our rec room for years
another time, my dad, who was a traveling salesman, stopped to fix a flat tire of two black women in an early 60s cadillac. not to long after that, one of the first color TVs arrived at our house with a thank you note from mrs. nat king cole :shock:
I, on the other hand, have never met anyone famous.

Photos show Tiger Woods may not have deserved a two-stroke penalty
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Tiger Woods was assessed a two-stroke penalty and received a mountain of criticism after taking an illegal drop on the 15th hole of Friday's Masters that sent the venerable tournament in chaos.
The question now, however, is whether he actually committed a violation at all, or instead was the victim of a false confession.
The Augusta Chronicle on Sunday printed two photos by staffer Michael Holahan of Woods' two chip shots from the 15th fairway. The first hit the flagstick and rolled into the water, forcing Woods to take a one-stroke penalty and then drop his ball "as nearly as possible" to his original location.
Are you saying Tiger is a goody goody two-shoes that doesn't lie???
... this is an absurd line of reasoning no!? ... ... i mean, are you suggesting he lied so that he could actually incur a 2 stroke penalty? ... that makes no sense whatsoever ...

Stranger things have happened. I'm just judging by the photos and it looks pretty darn close.

tigger was shown these photos.he said that he dropped further back.
I think he was just grateful not to be dq'd.Thanks to some obscure new rule.

Those guys can't touch what he's done. Golf is all about overall game. Phil is wild off the tee when it counts and bubba can't putt.

I said he has the ability to do things they can't. I didn't say he was right now. He's the best player in the world so far this season. It's not like he was flubbing around all week.

but that implies he is hitting shots other golfers can't hit ... which was never the case ...
either way - you're right in that he is playing amazing now ... no knock against his game ... but you're never gonna hear "couldn't happen to a nicer person" or "he's a great person" after any of tiger's wins ...
