Maybe he's a good/great golfer? It's the same in everything, be it a Rap star, Movie Star, etc...etc....The fact is he was a great golfer who was playing well beyond his years so he became a guy to watch, follow if you were into golf. he then took a big dive and like many they like a big guy to take a dive (look at what is going on with Trump.....he was loved while doing his TV crap....he becomes a leader of a country and he needs to go).......

I was very down on Tiger when he was effing up, but I did not despise him....No I say all the credit to him......he was at the top he went into the dumps and he has come out on top....IMO it's what most would want to happen in their lives if they were/are going through that life......all the power to Tiger....he had the inner strength to over come his demons...who doesn't/wouldn't want to do that...or is that what some have issue with?
