Yes. I meant a particular breed of LPGA player  - not U.S. women golfers in general and I corrected that.

Do you think that she represents something positive - given that she is a cheat and someone who deflects responsibility whenever her decisions are called into question?

When I’ve encountered her, she has been a congenial young lady. Sorry. I don’t believe in making personal judgements about people Unless you meet them. If I was judged today by things that I did at her age, it wouldn’t be pretty.

If you were videoed cheating at golf I would assume, though, that you would own your actions and move on, rather than being rude to rules officials ( remember the detestable expression "Are you being serious right now?" that she used), blaming others and claiming that you'd been treated unfairly.

I would certainly not expect her to be anything other than congenial to fans. Problem is, when we were shown who she really was, and several times since, she has confirmed the evidence.

In all honesty this really isn't the way it is, not with you or anybody else. I'm certainly not comparing Lexi or her actions to anybody else...but I'm quite sure you and many others are aware of things people have done that make it quite simple and reasonable to have a dislike for them regardless of having met them. Now if you're just referring to people who have otherwise no ill actions or reputation and the only negative things you've heard are from other's pure speculation then I understand and agree with you.

I suppose I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I hear that Ian Pouter is a jerk, but I have never met him. Until I do, I will reserve my judgment.

Iacas has had first hand experience of him being a tool. There are numerous videos of him being a tool. There is video of Lexi T cheating. There are articles quoting her "poor me" protestations. 

How can you "reserve judgement" on historical fact? That doesn't make sense to me. And --- someone can be incredibly polite and generous towards you (or their mother) and still be complete jerks.

Yes. You have made yourself quite clear... You hate her. Until she cheats me, or Ian snubs me, I have bigger problems to worry about. Life is too short my man.

No one is suggesting that this is important - but your approach to this is bizarre. I would hate to see you on a jury.

It only counts if it is an action against you personally? Really?

    • I know what those are, and they were unofficial. They were mostly to create conversation… and promote Mark McCormack's own clients. What Matt said is correct: Tiger's career spanned 24 years. Regardless, 15 > 19 when factoring in the competition, and 82 >> 72 when doing so.
    • The McCormack rankings started in 1968. They used a nearly identical methodology as the original Sony rankings. except it was a three year look back vs two. Number of good years and total output is what matters when talking about the span of career.  All years are not created equally.
    • The OWGR didn't even exist until Jack was 46 years old. So… What he said is true. Jack turned pro in 1961. He won his last PGA Tour event in 1986. That's 26 years. Tiger turned pro in 1996. He last won a PGA Tour event in late 2019. That's a span of 24 years. What he said is true. Tiger's "career" (not counting 2020-2024 where he played a handful of events each year, like Jack often would) lasted 24 years.
    • People don't realize it because it isn't true.   Tiger had the following money list rankings in years you are counting as part of his career span. 68, 128, 201, 162, NA, NA, 24, 38, 223, 225   Nicklaus didn't drop out of the top 10 in the world golf rankings until he was 44. Nicklaus had 10 more years where he had a top ten finish in a major than Tiger has had as of now.
