Despite Everything, Tiger Will Always Be No. 1

Tiger? Seriously?
Already a has been. No one in golf has ever failed to live up to the expectations like Tiger Woods. BUT, not his fault. The liberals and Socialists in the press wanted SOooo badly for a black man to achieve something in golf they set the standards he could not meet.
If you want to talk about greatness, talk about Jack, Arnie, Byron Nelson, Jones, Trevino, Chi Chi, Peete... Tiger is good, but not without scandal and issues. The liberal press just sanitized it because he's black. Just like they did MLK...
Bull hockey. he's no. 1 for his era. when he played inferior competition. and still has not won over 19 majors, the record. plus add in all the high tech equipment they use.
what a lie. him ranked no,. 1 now is a joke. he can't compete now with all the new TALENTED youger players. he's like larry holmes in boxing. he won because the competition for the most part stunk when he played.
Like him or not,golf viewer ratings went through the roof whenever he played.People who never watched golf on TV before found themselves drawn to PGA events,especially on Sunday afternoons when the matches came down to the wire.I personally am a poor golfer,but I loved watching Tiger play.
LOL at 7:06am and the great socialist golf conspiracy. You got some real doozies on this site Joe.
Dale Earnhardt?
I really enjoy Frank DeFord--always have...
Tiger was petulant and nasty when he was younger..many times towards children .. he was not a role model..
he has escaped the Steroid issues where other sports personalities were lambasted because they had the same link to the same Doctor.
His personal life image was a Madison Ave constructed sham..
that being said.. DeFord may be correct in one sense..but very wrong in many many more
8:31 I guess you think depicting anything you disagree with is a conspiracy theory... props up your way of thinking as superior.
Progressive hubris is a manifestation ...it provides little in the way of character and is usually used to enable criminals to do whatever they please
How did Jim Nantz make it thru the week end without gushing all over Tiger? 8:31 you're an idiot.
Will always be # 1 what?
Jack Nicklaus. Tiger still has some catching up to do.
From wikipedia
"Over the course of his 25-year span (1962–1986) of winning 18 major championships, Nicklaus finished second an astounding 18 times (excludes the second place finish at the 1960 U.S. Open as an amateur). He also placed third nine times and fourth seven times in this span and was one stroke out of a playoff on five of those occasions (1963 Open Championship, 1967 PGA Championship, 1975 Open Championship, 1977 PGA Championship, and 1979 Masters Tournament). His total span of 73 top-10 finishes over 39 years (1960–1998) is a record in total number as well as longevity among the four major championships and encompassed his tenure from an amateur through the majority of his Champions Tour career."

I know it just got decriminalized but dude put down the bong!
Compare the course lengths when Jack played in the 60's,70's,and 80's to the course lengths when Tiger played after 2000.Everything changed because players were driving much farther.Even the equipment had to be drastically modified to accommodate the stronger players.
Obama is like Woods -- both are arrogant and absorbed in self adulation.
