    but the person who wrote it, knows tiger personally, and thats what he felt, that tiger lost his passion for the game.


    do you remember this guys name? not doubting you, just wondering who it is and if he really knows tiger that well


    i wouldn't say he lost his passion for the game...maybe burned out...most athletes of his type (jordan etc) at some point get burned out and take a break (jordan and baseball) but the passion never leaves...ever....ask jordan right now if he wants to play again and he'd say yes


    tiger's dad was the biggest person in his life...his death took a great toll on him emotionally and i think it manifested itself in his sexcapades...getting caught and the aftermath will help him refocus his life and hopefully he'll come out of this a better man and golfer

    i can see tiger just playing majors for the rest of his life or just play the masters every year. not like he needs those cheap checks from the pga. the pga needs tiger more then tiger needs them.
    They need him more than he needs them, doubtful. If he thinks he's bigger than the game he is wrong. He is a big draw and increased the popularity no doubt, buy the games been around far longer than he has.
    without him the pga isnt the 4th most grossing sport. watching golf was like watching bowling before tiger came along. do you think people are watching the accenture match play tourny right now, doubt it. put tiger in it and it would be the most watched sports event this weekend and would bring in huge money for the pga. do you you think the average american is gonna watch the masters if tiger isn't in it.

    I couldn't give a donkey's bottom if he quit. He'll only be the brunt of fans witty comments from now anyway. "How many holes are you playing today Tiger?" ha ha ha ha.

    I think he is one of the dullest people I've ever seen interviewed.

    If Tiger retired from golf right now he wouldn't get a root.

    I liken it to RAPIST Kobe Bryant, if he plays well people will forget

    If he retired they'd still talk about it for years because he has pretty much carried golf on TV for 8 years

    Lets go Tiger! Would love to see him go out there and kick some ass this weekend although I am not too hopeful about it.

    I'm personally sick of hearing about him and I want the constant news stories to go away. Is this what is most important to people? He has literally been one of the top lead stories on CNN HLN every single morning for months. I'm over it.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    He'll probably f##ck some ass this weekend,because he might not make the cut.
    What a scam this guy is trying to pull off.
    All friendly with the fans.He never,ever gave a rats ass(thanks Speedy) about one fan his entire career.
    Always staring straight ahead,even during practice rounds.Brushing aside kids looking to interact with thier so called "hero".Talk about misguided kids.
    The new Nike commercial ? Haha,his old man screwed around on his wife also.The perfect pair.
    I can't wait to see him miss a shot and yell out one of his favourite expletives.
    Oh but this is the "new" Tiger,can't do that.
    Gotta get those sponsors back, and the saps who think this guy is genuine.
    Or put his hat over his face so you can't read his big lips when he's cursing.
    How can anyone still appreciate this phoney?

    tiger looks horrible these days.
    he looks very tired, wore out if you will.

    You know what check that he WON'T make the cut. This will ALL be TOO much. Who knows maybe his secret life was the key to his pass success.

    Who gives a fuck about his personality? All I care about is what goes on in between the ropes and watching him dominate. If you dont like the ad, dont buy Nike, they are paying him to be their spokesperson. Because Jeter does shitty Ford ads does not make a difference to me and I am sure anyone else, how is this any different?

    Nike has been doing ads with his dads voice for years.

    haha, i am easy. just saying.

    I personally like the ad, I like that Nike addressed it. Thought it was kind of cool.

    Hes a different dude but whatever, so are most athletes.

    Edit: And either way, the ad was successful, everyone is talking about it today. That is the goal, right?
