Let’s see Tiger Woods step up to the ball on 18 with an opposing fan base doing everything they can to distract him and root against him........like every guy in the Major Leagues has to deal with all season long.

LOL, whatever. Like I said, it's a different game. Maybe you want all games to be "equal"? There's a whole political movement behind that concept, I'm sure they'll agree with you.

And yeah, Tiger, what a wimp. /s

No, I don’t want all games to be “equal” and I know they are not. I readily acknowledge that a sport like baseball is vastly more difficult, competitive, dangerous, challenging and played under far more difficult circumstances for the athlete than a sport like golf. Or something like the opera. But the point of my original post is accurate, that you would never read an article making a big deal out of drunk fans heckling an athlete in baseball, football, basketball, you know, the real sports. So to see Tiger Woods getting sympathy for a couple fans heckling him, and for Woods to attempt to quiet them with his gesture, simply exposes the absurdity of worshipping Woods or any other golfer’s ‘feats’ on the course as in any way comparable to those of someone who plays the other sports.
