I think the same question when posed to these players explains a lot about their attitude toward the sport of golf and the way they conduct themselves. Why do they play? Many years ago pro golfers played to feed their families and carve out a living. Big purses and major endorsements have made many of these players millionaires many times over. While many of the very well healed continue to play because of a love for the game, I don't think the same can be said for Tiger Woods. He is chasing history and his window of opportunity decreases every year. Every time he fails in his quest to draw one major closer to the top will result in more anger and vitriol. Sad that he cannot enjoy or appreciate what he has accomplished. He is pushing for a prize that he may never reach and will have missed the joy of the journey.
Good point with the movie correlation..Like I posted on other threads this weekend and this one, Tiger is losing a lot of support from those of us who were only concerned about him between the ropes. Now with all the crap that’s in the open everything he does now will be examined microscopically. He has no margin for error, so blowups like on Saturday will hurt him...
As for others who get it, like Phil, Lee, Fred, KJ, Ian, Ernie, Zach get the point, it’s easy to give support to their success....
