I don't many have made mistakes like most humans do. What took place with Tiger and his wife is between Tiger and his wife. How about all the good things he does? Or does that not count. I never made him a saint to begin with just one of the greatest players ever to play the sport of golf.

I'm not saying Adam did not have anything to do with Ernie winning. However Ernie was the only one really to step his game up in the last few groups. When everyone else was struggling coming down the stretch, Ernie was taking control.

You make it seem like the win just fell into Ernie's lap and that is not the case. He started the day behind everyone listed below and was the only one to play well.

Ernie -2
Adam +5
Tiger +3
Brandt +4
Graeme +5

Exactly, it was not like the course was being kind to anyone. Ernie posted a good score and won.

I don't care what he does sexually although he was always a fraud that way I guess, the great guy who was banging anything with two legs.

He really hasn't done much for the black community though, he never stands up for black rights/equality, is by all accounts a real dick and has an ego that makes Terrell Owens look humble.

I always knew he was a fraud personality wise.

He and the networks are fortunate that there are people like you who will lap him up. He can be 15 strokes behind and all the networks talk about is how Eldrick is doing.

I feel bad for Scott, but I'm glad the Big Easy won the thing...

I've gotta say, though, the Open just doesn't seem like the Open when it's not in Scotland... the benign weather the first three days didn't help much, either... I guess I wanna see the guys bundled up in July... :D

He does not take political issues at all, he is not out there to push an agenda for any group he is not a politician he is a golfer. As for your accounts you don't know him so you allow others to dictate your feeling what ever.

I respect his ability on the golf course I don't know him personally and you are right the networks and tour do watch Tiger closely, he is a big money maker on the tour not just for himself but for all others who have benifeted because of the big draw Tiger is to the sport. People who do not watch much golf will do so when Tiger is in an event and the purses have grown in large part because of Tiger and the other golfers will admit his impact in terms of money they make

Exactly. Williams may be a jerk -- which he is -- but he's not even in the same class of jerk as Tiger.
