Tiger made it a sport for all walks of life
White people are just white people but black people with some Asian blood speak are all walks off life?
It's just black people and Asians roaming the earth?
That's it, that's all walks of life?
How does he speak to "all walks of life?" And Jack was just a white fat guy?
People respond to athletes not just race...and more importantly they respond to country origin and pride.
Is Tiger a Spanierd, a Swede (he married one) - a Russian, an Australian, a Brazilian, a Pole, an Italian, a Greek, Persian, was he born on the Nile river? Is he Indian, his father said he'd be bigger than Buddha.
There's been a lot of nonsense said about Tiger Woods as if he appealed to everyone.
Tiger was still an American.
It was the European resurgance in the 80's that spread the game globally. Because people care about countries not just race and Americans were dominanting golf for the past 30 years.
When Tiger came along there were already a ton of global players who had kept the game popular by winning and winning a lot after Jack retired.
The game was already growing back globally before Tiger. He didn't start the global resurgance and make golf for everyone.
Maybe to some kid in Australia, Greg Norman made the game "for everyone." Now Australians mattered in golf for once.
