Man we have some glass house owners in this thread. I hope none of you has ever wronged someone in your life and if you did, I hope they forgave you and moved on
It's also an entirely different world with a lot more scrutiny.it would be hard to be a sports fan if the moral high road is required to like a person or a team these days
When Tiger dominated it was boring and he was a [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] about it and to people around the game including fans
Now that he has become human again and has found some humility and seems to appreciate what he has in life - it’s easier to root for him
Same thing happen with Jack - he was hard to like when he was beating the greatest man to play the game - King Arnold - even though it was impossible to ignore that Jack was the greatest golfer of his day
But as he got older, Jack mellowed and became a lot more like able also - age seems to make some things not matter anymore like proving you are the best at all costs and others that didn’t matter as much like friend and family become the pinnacle of importance
Jack was before my time, so it’s hard to imagine his younger self. Now he seems like the perfect gentleman and ambassador.
When “fat Jack” first started winning everything the crowds of Arnies Army were not always nice to him and his reaction didn’t helpJack was before my time, so it’s hard to imagine his younger self. Now he seems like the perfect gentleman and ambassador.
Ship load of talent for sure, but no one brings ratings to golf like Tiger. I’d imagine he’ll have a gum sponsor after this weekend and every golfer will have a mouth full of hubba bubba.Disagree. Even without him on the leader board this week, there are some huge names up there. Deepest PGA roster as far as talent as there has ever been.

Tiger has a massive charitable foundation but some focus on an internet story about him not paying for someone's lunch.
LOL. There's a difference between wronging someone and just plain scheissing them over and over and over. And over and over and over.

EDIT from a year ago, but I’d imagine this was no different this year.

guessing his pocketbook overcomes that...I can’t imagine his last name does him any favors.
Hard to know how much of his new image is just for pr sake. Historically, he has been a much bigger ahole, compared to other pro golfers. And that is saying something. Was it great play at this tourney, yes. Is he now a quality person? Jury is likely still out for many people.Like I said, nothing wrong with your opinion. I just don’t share it at all. I believe in forgiveness as well. But eventually a person is what he is.
I think the Colonial issue is now because he plays a limited schedule as anything and we are at the wrong place in the schedule.Personally, I like to root for Underdogs. When Tiger was dominant, I usually rooted for his closest competition. His comeback has been compelling. I still don’t like his refusal to play Colonial though.
