Tiger shot himself in the foot with a ball OB on 16 but still gave us a lot of thrills. The way that Rory finished it wouldn't have mattered. Tiger will win again eventually. He's still the biggest draw in professional golf. Like all of the greatest, he'll have his haters. Nothing anyone can do about that.
As for me, I enjoy seeing history being made. Tiger has made plenty and it's likely that he'll make more.

People who are not his fans like they used to be have good reason. He made choice after choice that did not put him in a class of character with people like Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Skill is only one part of being a champion. One thing that soured many on him was his inability to keep his wheels on when he made a mistake. I see that changing. Most people are willing to leave the past in the past, but people don't dislike someone like him for NO reason. He gave us plenty of reasons to be disenchanted.
