Funny, having lived in the Central Florida area for a long time (During Tiger's prime, will probably be a rebirth of his game soon, happens in golf) it has been the foreign born players who have reached out to the community more than Woods.

Woods just plants his narcissistic a$$ in Florida for tax purposes. Many foreign born players that reside in Central Florida, who also take advantage of the no State income tax like Woods, actually take the time to reach out to the community, succumb to their humility, and realizing they have been blessed with a gift to hit a little white ball for a living while getting paid well for playing a game.

Time is more valuable than money in the celebrity profession. All these top professionals have gobs of great wealth, but the foreign born players have provided their time as well as money to the native local community and Woods... well he was to preoccupied about banging his neighbors daughter and breathing a sign of relief due to the fact he does not reside in the high tax State of California, where he probably rather be based at.

Not all foreign players have made homes in Florida, or elsewhere in the US. Some, like Westwood and McIlvoy are in contention with the PGA and have opted out of playing at the Players Championship in May. Westwood dropped his PGA membership and is dissed about the PGA rule limiting him to only 10 events.

It’s nice to know that they blend in and serve the community they live in. But my issue is with the American field. When Tiger lost his crown, I’d liked to have seen someone from the ranks of our American players contend for the #1 slot. No one, not even Mickelson was able to contend with the Europeans. That’s my issue. After all, this IS the PGA.
