Before I start I'm not running Tiger down. IMO he's one of the top 5 supreme athletes / sportspeople in the world today. What I have an issue with is the fact that he's taking $3m in appearance fees to go to Australia for a tournament. Imagine the spin off if he reduced this fee and then donated it to junior golf in that region or even to charities supporting victims of the bushfires that affected Australia. With the rest of the world struggling with recession and golf sponsorship likely to suffer he could acknowledge Pres. Obama's comments in regard to 'corporate greed' by making a huge statement. I'm not saying he should refuse appearance money as he's well worth the asking price but he could give something back that would result in hugely positive world wide exposure for golf.
