had that been Tiger throwing his ball in the drink, you'd have people like peej calling him a baby and how Jack and Arnold never would dare do such a thing.

Obviously, he's a great golfer - one of the bests, if not the best.

But, he's also an A-1 a-hole. The incessant and sycophantic media coverage is awful and I'm ready for it to end or settle back.

The media coverage is somewhat Tiger's fault too, as his p.r. machine constantly feeds the media with stories (which is their job).

I was good with Tiger until Shane Bacon started reporting golf on Yahoo. I know him from Camp Fern, and 2/3 of his articles would be the regurgitation of tripe from Tiger's p.r. people. Tiger doesn't play for a year? Doesn't matter, Bacon was going to write about him. It was almost comical.

Spieth with the Happy Gilmore on the 18th. Wouldn't have blamed him for a putter throw.
I would. Act like a pro or find another vocation. I like Speith, but since I'd be bashing Eldrick up one side and down the other for those antics, I'll do the same for Speith.

most golfers and famous people in general are A-1 assholes.

until the next superstar comes along and the media does the same exact thing. I 100% guarantee you people would have hated Jack if he were around during the 24/7 media coverage era.

So why not just hate Shane Bacon?

nah, it's just comical that this has been a civil thread all day, Tiger has a double, and all the haters come in cheering a bad hole. It's honestly pathetic.

Why? Shane's a nice guy and he's not doing anything the rest of the golf media doesn't do. They are lazy. There are some great stories about other golfers on the tour, but it is much easier to rehash something about Tiger.

You are probably correct about young Jack Nicklaus.

because you said you were fine with Tiger until Shane Bacon's articles. Unless Tiger is writing these articles about himself, I'm not sure why you would put what the media does on him

So you want guys that make their living writing about stuff people care about to write about stuff that no one cares about because you don't want to read it? That's a pretty dumb and self centered take. I love Tiger, but I don't give a shite what he eats for dinner on Tuesdays either so I just don't consume the content.

You admitted you don't like the coverage of him, which he has little control over. It's a hate the player, not the game deal.

You come off as a huge sour puss here.

Dufner is really the only player that has had the opportunity to challenge Simpson today and has missed every one of them.

Why exactly are we supposed to be mad a player went triple bogey last hole and got rid of his ball?
