I don't think your comment is controversial, and may be completely accurate.
It's part of the game, though. Young Rory will have to learn to cope with this as I expect he will find himself in the position of leader on Sunday more often than not in the future!

WØØDS, like ØBozo, was made by the media.
AND, like many, I mute or change the channel when the media buttheads stick their heads up his arse.
Again, like ØBozo, I have a bumper sticker that says; 'anybody but tiger!'

You know, I don’t play golf, never have, but somehow I got hooked on watching it on TV. The human drama is amazing.

I’ll never forget, after winning the 1997 Masters by 12 strokes, Tiger making the proclamation that he did it inspite of not having his ‘A Game’. He has always been a self absorbed a$$hole.

For me there is no one worse than Jim Nance at the Masters. I'm sure he's a great guy, but listening to his soft voice, as if he's standing right over a guy when they're putting (even though he's in a TV tower) drives me nuts.

Wow! You guys are really bad. I suppose I can understand why some do not like Tiger, but if you think CBS shouldn't follow a guy who started seven strokes behind and managed to tie for the lead at the turn, you just don't understand.
I admit to still liking Tiger, and hoping he plays well. I really didn't notice anything ungracious in what he said, but maybe that's just the schvatza lover in me coming out?

You’ll appreciate it even more if you try to play it sometime and see what a maddeningly difficult game it is.

Tiger Woods. The Charlie Sheen of golf. Without the “Winning”.

This is one of my favorite snide comments:
Those that can, do. Those that can’t anymore end up speaking in hushed tones on the Golf Channel.

"but if you think CBS shouldn't follow a guy who started seven strokes behind and managed to tie for the lead at the turn, you just don't understand." That's true, but for me, it's all about balance, or the lack thereof. Adam Scott posted two weekend 67s, and yet you barely saw the guy until he got to the 16th green. The same could probably be said for the eventual winner. By any measure, Scott and Schwartzel flew under the radar almost the entire weekend, even then they were in contention for a much longer period of time than Tiger.
All things considered, Schwartzel's last round was one of the best last rounds to win the Masters in years, maybe decades. Just off the top of my head, the only person who comes close is Nick Faldo in '96.

Ol’ Earl Woods and Dr. Frankenstein had something in common.

Woods provides the ratings that the networks crave, simple as that. Tiger does get scrutinized, I bet Skip Bayless on ESPN will criticize his back 9 play...

Tiger is a self-centered A-hole who pouts when adversity comes his way. ... Why people wet themselves over Tiger is beyond me. I think it's the same reason some people get a tingle up their leg over Obama.

“WØØDS, like ØBozo, was made by the media.”
I can’t agree with this comment. While I thoroughly detest Woods and his boorish behavior (obvious F-Bomb after almost every bad shot for example), it is inaccurate to say he was made by the media. At one time, Woods was by far the dominant player in golf and was performing at a level almost inconceivable. Obama on the other hand never accomplished a thing before being annointed by the elites and the media to the most important job in the world.

Rory badly pulled a couple of short putts early on. I think he was unnerved before the day began.
I do like your observation. Getting behind a slow poke could have made it very hard to get back on track.

Amen.
Similar to the black-focused commercial ads you see today, where they portray the "typical American family" as black; disregarding the reality of 75% out-of-wedlock/fatherless births....and criminal and drug use statistics.
