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.

I agree. He is an amazing talent. To have taken off so much time from professional golf due to injuries, and actually be back in the hunt after just a few tournaments is nothing short of miraculous. I see people boycotting him because of his personal life, yet I'd be willing to bet they give another person, who shall not be named, a break when it comes to carousing with women, and generally being a poor role model . I don't watch Tiger because I think he's a choir boy. I watch him because he is such a tremendous athlete. Although, for the record, he supports numerous charity causes such as the Tiger Woods Foundation, Tiger Woods Learning Center, Shriners, Caddy for a Cure, etc. If I recall he was number one in the world for over 500 weeks. You won't see that happening again for awhile.
