Jeez, he was upset, made a mistake and spat, then apologized on the next press conference. Haters are worse than fanboys.

Are people running out of things to complain about since all of Tigers infidelity stories are now depleted? Now you cling onto anything he does, trying to find something to complain about. Get over it.

Not well said. You're both gutless Tiger apologists. Like I said earlier, I've always been a big fan, but it can't be overestimated just how ignorant, selfish and shitty his behaviour was in KNOWINGLY doing that by the hole, KNOWINGLY doing it in front of many young spectators (who he couldn't even be bothered to sign any autographs for). Good golfer, pretty much a bellend though...

First of all, Tiger has never been a big autograph signer, especially when playing badly. Nobody is saying it is something they want to see on a golf course, but he's apologized, nobody cares about the event anymore, except for the Tiger haters that try to convince everyone they don't care about him. I don't spend time and effort on someone I don't like. I spend time discussing and watching Tiger play because I like him as a golfer. I don't like Boo Weekley, so I don't watch him golf, but I don't go around complaining about all he does either.

The world would be a much better place is people focused on the things they like, not the things they dislike. Tiger got his antics, he knows it, we know it, he sometimes lose it and does something stupid, but he's not the only one. It's just that people don't care when other players do it. And don't try to make it like Tiger did this on purpose, wanting to act like that in front of all the cameras and spectators. He has developed some anger management issues when he gets hot, but don't confuse that with just being an ass.

Add positivity to the world, not negativity.

It's like your carbon footprint. You don't have to never add negativity, but it should be offset by the positive.

Gee, what's not to like about Boo Weekley? If ever there was a guy who was not full of himself, it's Boo.  I think he's a refreshing alternative to the "vanilla" tour.  And he has a really nice swing.

I know, off topic.

Trust me, there's a lot to not like about Weekley, but I think my reasons are probably different than the reasons anyone else might have. When the majority of people you live around use the same "awww shucks golly gee willickers" demeanor, you get tired of it. Plus, I think part of his whole thing is put on, kind of in the same way Larry the Cable Guy's act is put on and played up a little. God forbid a "good 'ol country boy" attempt to act intelligent, speak clearly, ditch the dumbass camo and break out of the stereotype just a little bit . A good example of a southern guy who does carry themselves well in my book is David Toms. You don't see him running around that that wacky cajun coach from The Waterboy.

Sorry for the rant and also for taking this thing way off topic, he's just one of those people that really strikes a nerve for me. I apologize. Just ignore the crazy person mumbling to himself in the corner

    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top. 
    • Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.     
    • Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
