Tiger was to golf as Duck Dynasty was to duck hunting


The purists didn’t like a 21 yo kid winning the masters by 12 strokes. People thought he hadn’t “paid his dues”. As a junior in high school I was interested in golf for the first time.

Even the crustiest of us older, white men will admit that Tiger is in the discussion with Jack or better than him. The reasons for this are many, but a lot of it has to do with how likable he is.



This has everything to do with Jack truly being a generation before most of you.

Yeah, you saw 86, but golf on TV in 1962 was basically non existent.

Jordan and Jack aren't comparable.

Say what you want about tiger and his demons but I think what turns off a lot of people to lebron is all the sjw stuff. I can’t imagine tiger woods wearing a paper clip and faking a racial spray painting incident.


LeBron the "SJW" didn't really exist prior to the last few years. The hatred of LeBron LONG predates all that. This argument holds no water.

Did I miss Tiger spray painting racist graffiti on his own house and calling the police?

Is tiger beloved? The current strokefest over him winning should not be included.

Tiger is a different person now. Scandal, injuries, mediocrity, and fatherhood have humbled him.



No it hasn't.

That's the perception for sure, but he's likely the same guy he was before.

We love a redemption story, but it's because of what you hit on above. We feel that someone that's undergone misfortunes has paid his price and now it's ok to root for that guy. We tear them down to bring them back up. But make no mistake, people were hoping and relished in the fact that he went through what he went through.

I've never really liked either Tiger or Lebron.

I also don't actually hate either of them.

Old white men watch golf not the NBA. That's the only difference minus LeBron simply being a pussy.

Tiger was as hated a golfer as you will find. But compelling nonetheless.

People will watch if he's on and always have bc of that. Likability is the last reason however.

LeChode, on the other hand, is such an unlikable, self-aggrandizing douche that many of us Jordan honks won’t even give him the courtesy of being in the conversation
So you make assessments on who is better and admit that you don’t take their play on the court into proper account.

This is why people think never Lebroners are retards not to be listened to.

If golf were a team sport, Tiger might be just as much a prick...

And when it is a team sport in international competition, Tiger has historically shite the bed
