“Presidential Medal of Freedom, the foremost U.S. civilian decoration, awarded to individuals who have made “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.” Recipients of the award are selected by the president of the United States, with the assistance of the Distinguished Civilian Service Awards Board, an advisory group created in 1957. Although the majority of honorees are U.S. citizens, individuals from other countries are also eligible.”
Sounds like it's pretty open about the description of merit...What's your point? Tiger did something great by winning the Masters again. Pi$$ing on a greatness parade usually puts the pi$$er in the minority of those present. At least that's what I've learned from doing the same... If only Don King could be there to yell "Only in America!" when the award ceremony happens.
