I lost all respect for Eldrick Woods--I refuse to call him by his nickname--when he made up a story about being racially harassed by classmates when he was in grade school.

When it comes to minority golfers, I had a lot more respect for Lee Elder, Jim Dent, and even the pioneer black golfer, Charlie Sifford. All these guys played through more adversity and discrimination than Tiger could have dreamed about.

Golf may be the last gentleman’s game. And you can’t buy your way into being a gentleman, no matter how much money you make or how many trophies you take home.
