Why do you love Tiger so much? Phil is a much nicer guy. As were Nicklaus and Watson. Besides, I don’t want Woods to break the record of a Buckeye.
This is normal behavior for Tiger fan boys. They idolize him. This is often seen in Obama voters and Michael Jordan fans. Maybe some old Mickey Mantle fans.
They say crap like “golf would be nothing without Tiger” and other nonsense like that. They are not true golf fans because golf is bigger than Tiger.
I do not dislike they guy but his fans and the sports media (Golf Channel) act like he is the only player that counts which is incredibly insulting to the other professional golfers. The other golfers are not crazy about it but he does help TV ratings which helps the purses.
I like Phil and lots of other guys on the PGA tour but I do not idiolize him. People should not idolize anyone. Well maybe Reagan. ;-)
The other things is the “Tiger is the greatest golfer ever.” Maybe but it is yet to be seen. I get sick of current players being called the greatest when prior players may have been better. The jury is still out on Jack versus Tiger. People forget just how good and dominating Jack was. Jack crushed the ball with the old equipment and his short game was crazy good. I think Jack must have liked a few cold ones back at Ohio State when he was a fat kid/prodigy.
Ben Hogan winning 6 majors after he was almost killed in a head on in 1949 with a Greyhound bus may be the greatest achievement ever. His body was shattered and he played with pain but had a grand slam and a ticker tape parade in NYC in 1953.
