That cannot be said about any other golfer, now or in the past. I watch a lot of golf whether Tiger is in the hunt or not, but it adds an element of excitement when he is in it for me. I don't like what he did in his personal life, but in a small way he seems to have paid a pretty hefty price for his indescretions. The thing I come back to is that I love the opportunity to witness greatness, like watching Ali, Ruth, or Jordan in their prime, all of whom, by the way, had their own personal issues.

eweissenbach- for the second time in twenty-four hours I agree wholeheartedly with a post of yours! I guess I'll have to meet you sometime in TV! Theres just something about a tournament thats much more exciting when Tiger is in the hunt.
