You bet athletes swear and display anger, but the vast majority know how to control it and avoid having their occasional failures displayed to the world. Tiger just doesn't care. He thinks he's above it all. You appear to agree. I don't.
I also agree with what others have said and I've avoided chiming in on...you give yourself far too much credit for knowing what Tiger thinks and what he does behind the scenes. He may be a saint for all we know, but his demeanor and actions in front of an interview camera are no indication.

I would not be willing to put my experience on professional sports fields up against yours as I have no idea who you are. You could be Bo Jackson for all I know. Funny that you're willing to do it no knowing who I am or what my background is. But I do know that I have been on a lot professional sports fields and I have always heard a lot of foul language. Maybe your experience is different.
Again, we evidently watch two different series of interviews. I see him calmly answering questions and and taking responsibility for himself pretty much all the time.
And for the record, I don't enable Tiger's foul language. I'd have to be a lot closer to him in order to do that.
But you are right, he may be a saint off the field but you don't know that. But, you and many people here seem to assume that he's not because he occasionally gets caught using a bad word or displaying his anger on the course in very stressful situations.
