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

There were two instances that Johnny Miller has made a huge deal over. No other commentators have made any kind of big deal about them once they saw that Tiger was right and Miller was wrong. Miller also complained about the officials when it became clear that they had applied the rules to the letter.

In the third instance, Tiger felt that his ball oscillated and returned to it's original position. If I'm not mistaken, video has shown that he was incorrect. He took his punishment and didn't have anything else to say about it except when asked by news people trying to get something where there is nothing.
