    That is awesome! The sporting event I have always said is the one I have to go to before I die. I looked into it last year and between the passes (which I have no idea how you got) and accomodations, it was just way to much.

    I hear it is unlike anything else, smaller crowds, incredible course, everything...

    Who gives a fuck about his personality?

    I think a lot of people do. I know the companies that dropped his ass as a spokesperson did. If they didn't it wouldn't be such a big story. Look at Jeter, as you said. People love the guy and he gets more ass than Eldrick. No one cares because he's not married, he's not faking an image just to score bank.

    Many young kids who enter the game of golf look to him as a hero. I don't think parents would want their kids to worship at the alter of a guy who is two faced and banged around on his pregnant wife.

    I personally have never like the guy. He's always been a totally fake douche. He's had such a totally shitty attitude on the course. It's despicable. I followed him around at the 2001 Phoenix Open and the guy was an asshole. Swearing, throwing clubs. All this when there were kids were following him around.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    No one can touch tiger, hands down the greatest golfer, ever

    but come on!! He's not a sex addict, he's an opportunist! It just was all too perfect.... His own fault to create that utopian image

    enjoy the masters everyone

    yeah my sister made all the arrangements...she found this guy that has a hospitality house down the street from augusta national and he provides the badges as well as a nice place to hang out before and after the tourney

    everything you've heard about it is true...every golf fan should experience it once...and i'm glad i did! :mrgreen:

    Companies sell an image and I don't think banging porn stars is one they want to be aligned with so I get that. I am saying from a fans perspective. I can agree with the whole kid thing but I am not a kid or parent, so I dont really care. Was he wrong, of course, but it is none of my business. I can promise you, he is not the only player on the PGA cheating on his wife.

    I hear you with jeter and agree, Tiger should not have been married.

    The Tiger Woods Foundation does a whole lot for kids and that can't be discounted either.

    He says his behavior on the course will change and that will be a good thing, for him and the game.

    I agree, but he did what he had to do at the time to save his career and possibly his marriage. If it helps him out in any way, I am all for it.

    That is outstanding. I have heard about similar houses like that. Not a bad idea. I am definitely going to have to make it happen sooner rather than later.

    if i were tiger woods i'd tell the media, sponsors, and the people against me to go suck a dick some place.
    then i'd retire as soon as possible.
    i'd then build my own golf coarse and never talk to the media ever again.
    however, when the media flies over my golf corse i'd for sure give them the finger while smoking some badass weed as im driving my golf cart.

    I have admit this guy is good on a golf coarse in 2nd -4 first round. I wonder what the outrage would be if he was having a good time with men?

    Oh it looks like he'll make the cut, I went out on a limb.

    why are golfers always dressed up all nice and shit?
    very well groomed. (i've never seen a pro golfer with facial hair)
    to me they are very pretentious.
