What about Tiger rubs me the wrong way?

shdw01 · Jun 16, 2008

He is the most professional of all golfers, he is well liked on the tour, his work ethic is matched by no one, he is the best and maybe the best to ever play the game.

I love what he has done for the game, I love the sponsorships he has approved (except Buick), even his name is pretty awesome.

But I am always rooting against the guy. Arrogant guy or confident guy, that rubs me a little the wrong way...I'm a fan of humbleness and his interviews, his remarks on beating everyone at 80% really bug me. People on the tour get mad, but he is one of the few I have seen throw his clubs. I thought for a long time I just adored Jack too much and didn't want his legacy overtaken.

He won again and I finally figured it out....i'm jealous. Nice win you shi thole

What you take as arrogance I take as someone who hates to lose. He was very gracious to Rocco. The way he is why he can't be beat on the PGA tour. No else has his drive. He has it all today. He could retire tommorow and no one is going to break his records.

I'm pretty sure there are a few people that can outdrive tiger on a regular basis.

He has the best putter and the best all-around game....

it does annoy me that he will stop mid-swing and give the death-stare to whoever makes a sound. I thought he is used to swinging through coins and golf bags dropping.

I think the thing I don't like about him is when he hits a bad shot he acts like a baby and pouts and gets angry. But then I think like you mention here, it's a matter of someone who hates to lose.

I find myself cheering for him most weeks. I was cheering for Rocco this week because I felt bad for how he lost.

lol....how the hell did you find me at the couse this weekend?

I don't understand why people always hate the top athletes. That back 9 on Saturday was one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

And to be honest, his drive and mental toughness just make me like the guy more. He could retire tonight and be remembered as the greatest golfer of all time, but not only will he have continued success, but he will only get BETTER with his work ethic. It has come to be that for me it's a surprise anytime this guy doesn't win a golf tournament he's in.

Right now he's the greatest golfer of all time. By the time he retires he'll be arguably the best athlete of all time, alongside Jordan and Gretzky.

He's got a long way to break Nicklaus' 73 top 10 finishes in majors

Rumors about "surgery" and bone on bone now (is there a pun in that). Tiger seemed to hint he wouldn't be playing anytime soon.

I don't think people hate Tiger, I personally don't want him to win every tourney he plays, there are a 100 other players who bust their ass week in and out. He's smart but slightly shady only playing courses and tourneys he does well at.

People hate on Bonds like no other, but the visiting stadiums are as empty now as ever while fans continue to cheer for their own ex-roid players. Its money that matters.

When he hits a bad shot he throws his clubs like a immature kid. Grow up guy you are suppose to be a good role model for futre generation kids.

the guy is good....sometimes he lets his emotions get the best of him.

perfect example is when he starts flinging clubs around.

I think it works both ways too....when he sinks and eagle putt he starts firing like he is Frank the Tank! I thought he was gonna laugh and point at Westwood in the middle of that celebration!
