Looks like Tiger Woods is tied for first going into this weekend's golf tournament. Tiger Woods shoots 65, ties for lead at Bay Hill - - Sporting News http://web.tigerwoods.com/index http://www.pgatour.com/golfers/008793/tiger-woods/

Wonder if he can hold onto this one this weekend?

He does not seem to be able to intimidate the other golfers with his play like he was doing before his scandal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Woods http://espn.go.com/golf/player/_/id/462/tiger-woods

Go get them Tiger!

Golf is a gentlemans and women's game. Nothing about Tiger is gentleman like. Vulgar language, poor sportmanship when he hits a bad shot and of course the shame he brought to golf with the scandal.

I don't mind him being in the lead but there are other golfers playing and I would like to watch some of them play also.

Like the last two comments, It gets to a point all media does is focus on the last player to represent our great game of golf tiger woods

Good for him. He seems to have paid for his many mistakes. A lot of them seemed very private except for his being a role model. Too bad so much of celebrities private lives becomes public concern.

I changed stations as it once again ended up all being about tiger. The media is spoiling golf just as they have all other american sports

Sunday is always all about the leaders. They tee off last and what I saw today was media attention being given to the last three twosomes with emphasis on the final twosome which was significantly separated from the others by several strokes. I did not see undue attention being given to Tiger alone. Maybe my DirecTV broadcast was being filtered.

With Tiger being the only player in the last few groups that was under par on Sunday, the story just naturally morphed into his comeback. I thought there was plenty of coverage of the few players who could still make a charge, but as each one of them fell back, the coverage became more about Tiger because that was the story. I am just hoping for a very competitive Sunday at the Masters with Tiger, Rory, Phil and Luke all in the mix on the back nine. Of course, even though he isn't playing, I would never count out my all time favorite...Jack!

I have watched pro golf for years and the most popular, especially when they are winning get most of the air time. I think that is fair and balanced. Imagine giving equal air time to every player. That would be boring. It was the same 25 years ago. If you are upset that Tiger was in the spotlight on Sunday, I would look in the mirror to determine the real reason for your anger. He obviously has a few things that could upset folks like his race or marital problems, but he is the best I have ever watched and I truly enjoy his talent as a golfer.

Forgive me as I was not going to write on Wood's but I just could not
overlook the way people keep following him and praising him. He is not
the model for our youth and in particular the game of golf. He should be
ignored, regardless of his "golf talents" until and unless he works like
crazy to deserve some respect. Do you want your children to hold him
up as an example a great sportsman. He is actually a disgrace to the
game. I have seen him first hand at a number of tournaments including
the US Open (Wing Foot) and watched as some kids lined up for a
long time waiting for him to come off the 18th only to have him ignore
them and walk by. Never saw Arnie, Jack, Tom Watson, et al great
ones do that. He has not changed!! Lets get someone like Phil, BaBa,
etc as hero's and point to them as the true representatives of golf
so the kids get a better idea of what is really right with the sport.
It is a sport of gentlemen and he is certaintly not a gentleman..

There are many pro sports figures who do not set good examples and our children are watching them daily. I'm afraid if that we bring the pro's actions and personal lives into our enjoyment of the sports we would have to watch some pretty limited fields.

Like it or not Tiger has done a lot of good for golf and for charities. When he plays more people watch, and when more people watch more people profit.

[PennBF]

You are right. A lot of the sports are populated by bad examples like Tiger.
That does not make it right or acceptable. The sad part is that some portions
of society turn their back to anti social behavior in favor of who can hit a
ball further, more ofter or catch a ball, etc. Using charity as a reason is
poor as support for "paying" these people. Things are not going to change
but at least I can get it off my chest.

Today's society is quick to point out what isn't right, but by example they choose to accept those same things.
