Even during the Master's - instead of watching the shot from I think it was Kaupka on one of the last couple of holes, we got to all watch Tiger wiping the sweat off his brow.

The fact that golf rises and sets on Tiger Woods is why our household can't stand him. The whole cheating thing just cemented it.

Seriously?

As a non-golfer, I'll cut some slack because I don't think you fully understand how hard his accomplishments really were...and how utterly amazing it is to spend 12 years as #1 in the World.

The fact that he eviscerated almost every record (except number of majors and a couple of others), in such a short span, all the while being in a sport that wasn't exactly real welcoming of 'his kind' (Google Fuzzy Zoeller's comments) speaks to a mental toughness that very few can even comprehend...much less come close to ever possessing.

You and your "household" are, of course...still entitled to your own opinions though.
