1. Interesting that no one has thrown out the name Nicklaus (or some other previous great) as the reason to be anti Tiger.
I would say in his day Jack was as hated as Tiger. People, in general, aren't fans of arrogant winners. They're much more prone to be fans of someone like Couples, even though hasn't been a saint in his personal life.

Nicklaus = Tiger
Couples = Mickelson
Would agree that Jack was hated as Tiger but I do not remember (too young) if Jack's brashness and arrogance showed up in his interviews---golf course, I would guess yes but not sure about interviews. Also, I would suspect since he was "Fat Jack" for the first 10 or so years of his career, he evoked more sympathy than Tiger.

You would be correct. Jack knocked Arnie off the throne and the fans hated him for it. They called him Fat Jack until he lost the weight years into his career.
