Harmless? Augusta National is a sexist, racist, "Good Old Boys Club" and you will sit there watching golf lining the pockets of those old rich white guys. Also you're actively rooting AGAINST Tiger Woods....I quite like Tiger Woods as a matter of fact, he's no gentleman but he is a great golfer.
Anyway..... back to the Masters... I was saying how I can't stand Tiger Woods and root for him to lose every tournament he plays.
ok have a good day guys, have to cut out. been fun as always.
go tiger.
Good question and I'm glad you asked. Whenever I say I don't like Tiger Woods in a golfing conversation, people immediately assume it's because of the scandal he was involved in a couple of years ago. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In actuality, I was a fan of Tiger before the scandal and even shorty after the scandal. What turned me 180 degrees was the first Masters he came back after the scandal. First round he was there... high-fiving fans, kissing babies... the works. It looked fake, but whatever. Nothing wrong yet. Then he proceeded to play well, but got beaten by Phil Mickelson, who was going through some personal issues of his own. His wife was battling breast cancer... and the hug between Phil and his wife on the green after he won was heart-warming.
THEN came the interview with Tiger after Phil's win. Did Tiger even acknowledge the big win by Phil? Did he utter a word of congratulations to Phil? Was he satisfied with finishing 4th after such a long layoff? Was he even civil to the interviewer? No, no, no, and no. Tiger acted like an ass.... even more than usual. Sore loser... back to his arrogant ways big time.
At that moment, I went from a Tiger fan to a Tiger hater.
People have forgotten Jack Nicklaus 'cause he's old and had his time. But Tiger will never be half the all-around professional that Jack was. Not even close. If fact, what people don't realize about Nicklaus is that not only does he have the record for most major tournament wins..... he also had a humongous amount of 2nd place finishes. In that category he leaves Woods in the dust. And against tougher competition!
Anyway, glad I got THAT out of my system.
Tiger Woods is a great golfer, but a piece of shit human being.
I hope he never breaks Jack's record.
OK, I totally understand that. Yeah Tiger is a bit of a dainty little flower when he loses...always better to lose with some dignity, acknowledge you got beat by the better man and so on. Also have the grace to wish well on someone who is not playing "against you" but rather playing against the course...golf is different that way. I mean in boxing I wouldn't say that, but still, have some gentlemanly qualities...it doesn't hurt
Yeah, I mean don't get me wrong. I know there's plenty of undesirable personalities in golf, as in other sports. And Woods is far from being the only arrogant bastard in sports. But that 180-degree turnaround in the space of 4 days (the length of the tournament)... from kissing babies to acting like a sourpuss on national television.... the guy's a fucking asshole.
