I think it's funny that even when he does nothing wrong, you Tiger haters can spin it to being Tiger's fault. This whole 2 week Tiger-Sergio feud has been 99% Sergio's doing, and somehow Tiger is getting blamed by some of you. And this is coming from someone who thinks Tiger is a grade A dick.


This entirely.

Don't quote me, but I'm fairly certain he's a member of the Euro Tour. I don't think he could play on the Euro's Ryder Cup team if he was a member of the PGA Tour.

I think they can be members of both tours.

This is right. Many of the Euros are. Anyone that played in the Players Championship is definitely a PGA Tour member. I remember 2 years ago that Rory didn't play because he opted not to have PGA Tour status.

I can guanfrickingtee you that tiger gives zero fricks about this comment. I've heard tiger tell similar jokes himself. I just find it funny that tiger is going to play victim and drag this out for months ...


But don't get me wrong Sergio s a douche bag for saying what he did.

Where exactly are you getting this? Because he called a spade a spade?

No, that's not true.

Not sure how you can guarantee that. If he really gave no fricks, he wouldn't have tweeted about it. Maybe he's tweeting about it solely to play the victim role in all of this. While that's being a dick, it's still giving a frick.

I'd be willing to bet that Tiger won't bring this up again unless directly asked by the media. It's not Tiger's responsibility to help Sergio put out these flames.

Do you have some examples or links? I can't recall Tiger making a racist joke in the press before. That would've been big news.

Based on what? Given Tiger's past history, I'm surprised he even responded at all.

Pretty sure you have to hold PGA Tour status to play in the Players. That's why Mcilroy and a couple of other Euros skipped it 2 years ago when they didn't have cards. They didn't join because the tour was requiring them to play x amount if events and they wanted to play in Europe too. They couldn't commit to all of those events and meet the minimum number.

No, you get in if you won an event during the last year on the pga tour, if you won a major in the last five years or if your in the top 50 in the world among other criteria. You do not need to be a pga tour member. Hell the senior players champ gets into the players and usually he's not a pga tour member

That makes sense. I must be confusing the reason those guys sat out that year.

Honestly, though, why can't Tiger play the victim here? He was the butt of a racist joke that was clearly over the line and made in the media. If Sergio had said this in the locker room and Tiger overheard it then tweeted about it, you'd have a point.

Ok he can. I just find it hypocritical for him to tweet how hurtful it was ... And I can promise you that you have not heard the last of tiger on this matter. I called it last night, he will play it up to a tee.

He tweeted about moving on. Isn't that what everyone wanted when he only gave a one word answer before?
