The thing with Tiger that seperates him from the rest of the golfers is when you takes the first tee on the first round he is thinking that it is 1st place or nothing. Everyone else comes to the first tee and thinks....I hope to make the cut and make some money.
The competativeness that Tiger displays is exactly why Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, (just to name a few) are some of the best in their game ever. They feel that if they don't come out as #1 they are pissed.
I just wish the Tiger haters would appreciate how much better he is compared to everyone else and soak this in as this type of sports domination only comes along once a decade.
