great for casual golf fans, sucks for purist golf fans

And how do you figure that? You think he's the first pro golfer to put his pee pee in something other than his own wife's love canal?

I heard they are going to really crack down on the jeering from fans when he makes his return. I can see fans really getting into to some good one liners when he's out there

Casual golf fans love him because he's the best, and there's the aura of invincibility surrounding him. Purist golf fans hate him because he gets a substantial portion of coverage at the expense of other golfers, and isn't very respectful on the course.

This is definitely going to happen. Augusta is well known for controlling everything about the tournament, and they have a long history of ejecting any spectators that they don't like for any reason.

I think that's why Tiger chose this tournament to come back. He'll be generally protected from most crap by the normal 'rules' of the vclub.

They might as well eject everyone because it will happen every time, I might even watch the Masters just to see him lose his cool when someone says something during his swing. We all know what a baby can be.

Honestly, anybody that is such a boob to talk during the back swing of a golfer doesn't belong anywhere near a course anyway. I'd snap if someone did it to me on a course to. It's a game of concentration, and intelligence, and fans should respect that, and if they can't then they don't belong there.

I know I've screamed at people for talking during my back swing, and I dont even get paid to play. I just enjoy golfing. People who go to a course, get hammered, and slap balls all over the place drive me crazy. So much so that I refuse to go on weekends more often than not, because of all the guys who just go out and treat it like a drinking game.

I agree totally with Tiger, want to criticize his golf, fine. Want to criticize his endorsement deals, fine. But leave his family, and personal life to him. So he fucked a few other girls, I dont condone it, but at the same time, would anybody give a shit if he were just some scumbag that held a normal job?

The Masters is a little different animal. You can walk 5 feet off an authorized path and you'll be threatened with expulsion and lifetime revocation of your tickets. Tix are almost impossible to get in the first place, so getting them revoked is very scary.

That club epitomizes the 'snooty golf club' stereotype. The club is better than you, and so are it's members. They'll remind you often. They're even rumored to give the press lists of off-limits topics.

Think North Korea without the human rights violations and nuke program.
