I don't like Tiger either and probably never will
While I think almost anyone with a half brain would love to have Tiger's abilities, I don't like Tiger and probably never will.
I wonder if Jack/Arnold or Gary ever cursed and smacked the ground like your so called "Greatest golfer ever"?
Gofl is usually called a gentlemen's game and I don't think Tiger can ever be the gentlemen that the greats above are.
Sure he has talent but he is not humble at all.
Watching Tiger play amazing to me (IMO) is BORING, there I said it. It is expected and no big surprise.
He is certainly overpaid, and getting a $4 million appearance fee to go to Australia is ridiculous. I wonder if Gary Player and Ernie Els ever got paid to promote golf worldwide.
I don't care if he ever plays in Canada again, we will always have a great Canadian Open tournament.
What will everyone do if Tiger ever passes Jack's records, then what is next?
Tiger was happy golf was approved for the Olympics but joked if he was not retired by then. I think if he stops winning on a regular basis, then he will quit and "Save the world" as his dad once suggested.
Why don't these rich Billionaires (Tiger, Bill Gates, etc.) put their money together and cure cancer, aids, world hunger, etc. insteading of just educating a few thousand kids.
Ah, Tiger is great when he is on, but I much rather watch highlights of his screwing up royally as this is more rare.
You can love him or hate him, I think he still has a long way to go as being a true gracious hero of the game. I much rather Phil and Mike, Arnold , Jack, etc. anyday, anyday.
We will never know how a Jack and a Tiger in the same era, with the same technolgy would have compared. By the way, Jack and the boys were hitting 300 yd drives back in the day with the old real woods so don't think a 300 yd drive today is like the most incredible thing ever, today this is almost like a standard length for pros.
I thing Tiger has made most of his scoring over the years on par 5's because of his length, he hasn't always been that good on par 4 and 3's.
Regardless of who ever is called the "greatest", no one and I mean no one will ever be greater than the game itself.
