re: Tiger being a douche in Dubai

Yes. And, so do a ton of other golfers. But, 99% of the other golfers have zero media coverage when they are playing bad because they suck. Tiger is the only professional golfer who has to face the media when he is struggling and finishes 50th or worst in a tourney. Heck, they were following his every shot and he got interviewed last year when he didn't even make the cut.

You keep mentioning all these other pros who are losers and never on camera doing things people like you see...but not most other people. Well...those pros arent Ambassadors of the game like the Tigers, Phils, VJs, Westwoods, Bubbas etc are. Alot of people have ripped John Daly for his antics both on and off the course...his giving up on the course when things are going bad. No one would care what Daly did if he wasnt a face for the PGA. Of course some other pro golfers do things that are crude or disrespectful...but they know they arent on camera. And it doesnt make it right. And if they were caught doing those things on camera...im sure they would be talked to and criticized. Rory Sabattini...who isnt one of the very elite players...but gets in contention enough to be on camera..had a big temper tantrum problem and was widely criticized.

The main thing is that Tiger himself knows he's wrong and admits it when he behaves that way. Golf is a unique sport...its the only sport where participants call penalties on themselves...which is why it's a "gentleman's" game.
