Do these people you play with have a foundation? Do they position
themslves as role models by working with youth in a very public way?
Are they compensated with tens of millions of dollars for the use of
their images? It doesn't matter what you or I see when we play.

I have never seen any other player use the f-word. I heard Couples
did, but I didn't see it. What Tiger does cannot be excused.

So it isn't his swearing that bothers you. It's his popularity. In all
honesty, that's pretty messed up. A wrong act is a wrong act, regardless
of the level of fame.

Yeah, but Ken's opinion appears to be...

....coloured by different factors.

No, this is not difficult. He is in front of thousands of people live.
He is also on national TV. That is what makes it bad. Bad for the game
of golf. That has always been the context of my complaints about him.

Here is some reading for you. How would you like it if Tiger had a
major blow up in front of your six year old child who wanted to see
him? Let's see you make excuses for this. It is just another example
of what an arrogant spoiled brat Tiger has been since he arrived on
the scene. Tiger, you, me, Howard, Randy, dene, Bobby knight. We can
all have falling down screaming hissy fits when we play by ourselves.
It is of no consequence. A professional, who is paid tens of millions
a year should care enough to correct a juvenile problem like this.
