And the sway he holds over fans, which is still considerable, it seems. I frequent a few sports forums and it's surprising how many people still cheer for Tiger.

There are people who call themselves "golf fans" who never watch a golf tournament unless Tiger's playing and doing well. Those people aren't golf fans; they're Tiger fans. If he was a curler instead of a golfer, they'd probably watch curling.

I don't know what Tiger's done to maintain their admiration. I guess it's the sentimentality/nostalgia of being aboard the bandwagon when he was winning everything years ago. Either that or they're also Trump apologists.

Trymp and Tyger have shown their poor character by the way they treat the ones they "love." Just think, Tyger was on top of the world before his amazingly stupid and continuous fillandering literally crashed his career. I don't have any animosity towards him, but karma is his "b" and his former wife has all his money. And that karma is slowly turning toward Trymp.

(Apologies to William Blake--Author of Tyger, Tyger burning bright...)

"Well, I've known Donald for a number of years,'' Woods said during a post-round interview at Ridgewood Country Club. "We've played golf together. We've had dinner together. I've known him pre-presidency and obviously during his presidency.''
When pressed about some people being threatened by Trump "and his policy,'' as well as Woods' seemingly friendly relationship with the president, Woods said:

"Well, he's the president of the United States. You have to respect the office. No matter who is in the office, you may like, dislike personality or the politics, but we all must respect the office.''

Asked if he had any more to say about the state and discourse of race relations, Woods said: "No. I just finished 72 holes and am really hungry.''

His last two HBO specials were pretty dark but I think he was just being prescient. Sure wish he was still around.

Why? We're supposed to be government by and for the people.
If we were a true democracy, we shouldn't automatically respect anything - respect has to be earned.
Did republicans respect the office when President Obama was in it?

Part of the reconstruction has to include the relegation of of the #IPOTUS supporters, famous or not, to the outer fringes of society where they belong. Bye Tiger.

followed by article which doesn't either, but does breathlessly note that Tiger is almost there! Playing much better now! Woods are great just needs a little help with putter! Oh, by the way, he finish in a tie for 41st place, 9 strokes behind the still unnamed winner.
