He is truly a hero to 10's of thousands of kids and adults alike. He is not the first to focus 100% on his game while playing. His talent deserves respect and for me he has that. He who bla bla bla throw the first stone. Tiger is the best thing in golf since Arnie and his generation.
Tigers work with the Shriners hospitals for children has been a blessing to so many. He has several other charities and foundations that he donates to as well. Sorry if he is caught up in the game while playing and does not stop to chat with the kids on the side lines. ggggeeeeezzzzzzz.

One of the first to be critical of Wood and his disrepect for the game of
golf was Arnie. I notice that 15 minutes before Wood came off the 18th
hole to shake Arnie's hand he went to the Hospital for high blood pressure.
It is hard to believe he could not have waited 15 minutes and be photographed with this poor excuse of a sportman. It is the first time
he has not been waiting in all the prior years and he left 15 minutes ahead of time. I have grown a lot more respect for Arnie although there was a lot before this. I like to think he was just exhibiting what he has always stood for.

Tiger Woods will never be in Arnie's or Jack's class and until he beats Jack's record for Major Tourney wins he can never be called the greatest golfer ever. And I don't see that happening.

I agree with the very first sentence it just ran a little long. It is true:
"Tiger Woods will never be in Arnies or Jack's class"...

Somehow I am reminded of Fuzzy Zoeller with these comments.

Just curious. Are you saying that Arnold would do a fake run to the hospital so he didn't have to be with Tiger ?? I can't imagine anyone remotely thinking that. That's why I'm just curious.

[The Villager II]

It is sad and painfully obvious why even in this day and age, some will not give Tiger Woods his due respect as the greatest golfer of all time.

[Bonny]

Yes, it is sad. The players love him cause when Tiger came on the scene, paychecks starting growing.

Yep, I am saying it looks strange that Arnie never missed shaking hands
with the winner of his tournament. In this case he was a very strong
critic of Woods and in the end left the Tournament 15 minutes before Woods
walked off the 18th green. I don't think he wanted his picture in the paper with Woods or shaking hands with him Also, Arnie is responsible for raising the awareness of the PGA Tournaments. Remember "Arnie's Army". Maybe most are too young to remember this. Wood's is riding off the coat tail of
Arnie who brought the PGA Tournaments up to being popular. What the heck respect should he get. He has proven to be morally bankrupt and a character
study of all that is wrong with today's families and sports image for the youth. I am honestly amazed that anyone could hold him up as someone to
be respected. I have watched Jack stand with spectators so his son could
not see him watching him in the Honda Classic many years ago. That's a
father not one who is trapsing around porn stars and spending his time with them. Jack never missed one of his sons football games, never failed to sign
autographs, same as did Tom Watson, Ray Floyd, Ben Crenshaw, and many so ons'. All should be accountable for their behavior..

I believe that Tiger has already been held accountable. He paid dearly. Now move on. The holier than thou stuff is getting old. It is a rare individual, indeed, whose past is without blemish.

Sorry, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard in my life !!!! Wow !!!!

[BogeyBoy]

I think this headline says it all:

"Love him, hate him Woods' impact undeniable"

Agree. We all have good points and bad points. It is like the half full or half empty glass of water. Some among us prefer to focus on the half empty.

Still do not understand how you can claim him to be the best golfer of all time when he has not broken Jack's record for major wins. If and when he accomplishes that feat then maybe he can lay claim to that title but not before

[PennBF]

OK, I give up..!! If some want to overlook bad behavior and antisocial
behavior nothing will convince them. If examples for the young is not
important then it is a useless cause.The next time they are at a Golf Tournament and there are 30 kids waiting with their caps for a signature and he [Wood's] ignores them and walks on by as though they don't exist be sure to cheer him on. (I saw this a number of times). I do not want this type
of person to be the image for my children. Hopefully their values will be
strong enough to look at him for what he is.
