Tiger's effect on golf

[Splunge]

Oh ok right

TIger had an impact for sure. Saying he was "THE" reason is a bit short sighted.

Agreed! Did he play a part, no question! I think how large of one may be debatable.

Well, if Tiger makes it to the Masters, this will be what he's wearing.

Can say one thing, someone picks out great clothes for him!

It wouldn't surprise me if Arnie and even Jack had an indiscretion or two in their lifetime.

That is what sucks in today's society. People years ago may have thought the same things, but there was no audience for their opinions. Even if you do things the right way in today's world, there is a stage for everyone to put their opinions out to the world.

My point being that I could care less. I watch Tiger for golf. I don't get my morals from him or anything else on TV. I often hear, Tiger is great but he cheated on his wife. Like he's the first to ever do it.

I'm 36 and by far the biggest stories, other than 9/11, have been sex scandals. First Clinton/Lewinsky. That was all that was in the news at the time. Radio, TV and print. Internet was still fairly new than, no Facebook or Twitter. Then the Tiger scandal. 5 years later and people still bring it up.

I like golf for golf. There are good players and great players... I don't care what any of them do off the course. If they all smoke Crack together in the parking lot beforehand, great. If not, my put is not gonna change its course based on their actions. What they do has no effect on my game.

One of the effects Tiger has had on golf is the same effect MJ did on basketball. Just raising the bar way higher and changing the game to the point where people had to step up or step off. He made "golfers" become "athletes". I contend that the average basketball player now is the equal or better than a lot of yester-year's real good players. That's because of Michael Jordan. Same deal in golf with Tiger.

He'd better leave the Friday, Saturday, Sunday outfit in the suitcase. He'll be chunking chips, grabbing his back and limping by Thursday afternoon..............he can fly home in the same outfit.

I might sound like a Tiger Fan bois by saying this (but I'm not). I believe one effect is Tiger has made many golf fans lazy. By that I mean, tiger was that good and he won so regularly, golf fans came to think that that was to be expected. I always said that Tiger was a freak, the likes of which we may not see again.
