I personally don't give a shite if he wins, but why is everyone so mesmerized by CURRENT Tiger?


Because he's 43 years old, inarguably a top 2 player of all-time, hasn't played in 2 years and is about to have his, almost, 3rd straight top 10 finish going into the masters. But, you're right, that isn't an interesting storyline at all

so you want to watch a guy 15 shots back finish out his round to finish in a tie for 60th place?



we watch every shot of Tigers when he is 15 shots back

I just hate that he still acts like a bitch on the course. Youre 40+ years old, worth 700 something million, and you still act like a brat

no we don't. not even when Tiger was in his prime did they show every shot of his when he wasn't in remote contention

such a naive argument. Tiger has not done anything worth mentioning in years. But, when the camera is always on you, sure they may catch a "shite" every once in awhile just like every other golfer. Rory tossed his club in the water a year or so ago and has broken clubs in the past. Tiger has never done anything like that.

It's ok being wrong, you are. Every shot of Tigers has never been shown when he's way out of contention. That is a true statement whether you want it to be or not.

you mean he dropped it in his follow through? yeah, a lot of tour pros do that.

So you don't even realize that you generalized all Tiger Woods fans into bandwagon fans. Really, really solid work.

There are golf fans that are also fans of tiger. But tiger fans are not always golf fans.

well, Tiger should be compared to his peers. You ever cuss on the golf course after a bad shot?

I know right? Hopefully we get full coverage of Bryson DeChambeau and Brandt Snedeker as they also chase Sam Snead's all time wins record. You should be in television programming seeing how you have your finger on the pulse of what people really want to see.

Truth. So, generalizing all Tiger fans as bandwagon fans, like you did, was incorrect.

I was explaining why people get annoyed with tiger and his fans. In that sense all tiger fans are essentially bandwagon fans. They only watch golf when he is relevant.

Those that watch golf the rest of the time are golf fans.

Of course anyone that only watches a sport when a player or team is doing well is a bandwagon fan. But most golf fans have a favorite player. That's just the nature of a non-team sport. And of course Tiger will have a larger bandwagon than others due to how great he has been. But generalizing all Tiger fans as bandwagon fans is a dishonest generalization.
