I think going in a lot of people were rooting for Tiger, but the cussing was the last straw, and the contrast of Phil Mickelson’s family life really has now painted Tiger as the bad guy, even to those who used to root for him.
I believe you nailed it. Tiger implied he’d change his ways on the course and didn’t, people will only abide so much. Plus the MSM did something he isn’t used to, they didn’t cover up his bad behavior.
I was very pleased to see Phil Mickleson win it yesterday, he’s a class act.
