His "sporting legacy" is questionable, to say the least. Yes, he won a lot of tournaments. But golf has traditionally been a gentleman's game and the last few years has seen the goon factor in professional golf explode exponentially. The brainless demeanor of drunken fans on the course during play ("You da man!! IN the hole!!!") is matched by the obnoxious behavior of some players, notably Tiger's temper tantrums (referred to above) and less than stellar off-course behavior.
Bobby Jones is rolling in his grave.
