Name a country outside of America, Canada, or Western Europe that cares about some former giant of golf.

The fact that you have to ask that tells me you don't know shite about sports outside of soccer.

It's a rhetorical question.

You probably haven't gotten out of the low country before.

I know tons about sports all over the world. Reading comprehension is once again your downfall.

You're an assclown. You are referring to a sport that is much more cost prohibitive to play and much less televised internationally.

Yes, I know the leaderboards are often dominated by international names now. But everyone thinks their sport is the fastest growing in the world.

You realize that the only people agreeing with you are two other soccertards. You are saying that Messy and Ronald McDonald are the most popular athletes in the world, when they aren't even the most known in their OWN SPORT! People who don't know a single damn thing about soccer know who David Beckham is.

You and you're entire argument along with the retards backing you up are complete shite. I know it, everyone else without a soccer ball up their arse knows it, but you soccertards just don't get it and you are too damn ignorant to ease the forest through the trees.

If you think Tiger gets more press coverage in India than Messi or Ronaldo, then you don't know much of anything.

I'm sure Mumbai went nuts over his 1997 Masters win.

If you understood the relative context of the point, you wouldn't say this.

Herp derp, Sergio Garcia is from Spain so it must be popular there.

Yeah, 90% of a country will watch the Masters, right? Just like Brazil does for the World Cup. I doubt golf is even Top 5 in spectator sports worldwide.

it's not top 5 in the US and tiger is still the biggest star. again, don't confuse sport popularity with individual athlete popularity.

But in order for an athlete to gain traction his sport has to do so as well.
