I am not casting the first stone.....Three times during this playing season decisions tiger made had been questioned the last one recently wherein he claimed his ball moved back in place. He was given a two stroke penalty. A number of golf commentators played it down but it was clear from their comments that re-plays of the event made it clear the ball moved. It wasn't a Bobby Jones moment.
The news media fawn over Woods and the PGA allows it because they value ratings/ cash receipts. However, in my mind it detracts from so many excellent players that it hurts golf. I feel the same way about any other sport or player. The sport should be more than just a player.
Beside which Woods pouted through the season while on the cour unlike Jim Furyk who suffered in silence
