I give you three possibilities of your prejudice against Tiger, so pick one or come up with a fourth, but please don't blame Tiger for following the instructions of the Masters Committee.

golfingnut: Can you say "confirmation bias", because that is exactly what your aforemention comments amount to. Your thinking is too linear. He didn't agree with the type penalty assessed so he must be a racist.
I would have reacted in the same manner if the situation involved my favorite player Fred Couples. The Committee ruled in his favor because they know he brings in a lot of money to the golf industry. I am a purest and that explains my sole and only reason. I am not a racist ,admire his talent and ignore his private life as I do with family friends, etc live and let live. Please be more careful with throwing that racist label around. It isn't fair nor is it proper
