Will Tiger be greated by hecklers on the golf course?

I could imagine a scenario like this: Tiger is ready to make a critical putt and someone yells out "cheater"!!

They would be escorted out for doing something like that but I think it is inevitable that someone will try it.

    Don't know about greated, but he may be greeted.

    Tiger will wear ear plugs.

    He needs to stay away from tournaments for a very long at least until the Open is over. He's got some serious marriage and sponsor, and PR healing to do. image

    I don't think to many guys that go to tourneys {espcially the ones that yell"in the hole" on par 4's.5's]
    are to worried about tiger cheating,a little envy maybe.I have only been to a couple events,don't seem
    to be many guy's there worrying about it.I would rather see him make a great shot than worry about
    whats going on at his house.

    Trust me, there will be plenty of drunken fans yelling lots of different things at Tiger everywhere he goes this year....he should take this whole year off.....but he'll never do it, because of his quest for Jack's record (and pressure from the Tour, which would be looking at a season of miserable ratings and worse attendance).
  • "Don't know about greated, but he may be greeted."

    You are right, it would still be greated except he ain't so great anymore so now he will be greeted instead. image
  • Tiger is still the greatest golfer that ever lived and I doubt he will be too distracted once he gets back on the course. Keep in mind a significant portion of Tiger's fans prior to all this BS were males 18-35 years old. Don't think that group of people really care what he does in his private life. We still want to be Tiger.

    EDIT: Damn I forgot I no longer fit that demographic. I'm 36 now but still love Tiger.
  • "prior to all this BS.."

    Are you saying these things didn't happen or that they are not all that important? (be careful with your answer). image


  • << <i>Are you saying these things didn't happen or that they are not all that important? (be careful with your answer). >>



    Not saying nothing happened. Just saying that his larger group of supporters admire his golfing ability and envy his life.

    Prior to Tiger's cheating ways becoming public knowledge, he probably had few if any detractors. Well known, respected, admired and loved by people around the world.

    Now that his cheating ways are known, he will still have worldwide support. However he will have large numbers of people lose respect and admiration for him, me included.

    Regardless of his golfing talents, one should not cheat on his or her spouse.

    If your marriage is not working out then separate, file for divorce and then start romancing others.

    Or if you just can not stay faithful to one person, don't get married in the first place. Just live the life of a "playa" and do not marry someone and cheat on them.

    Same thing applies to both the guys and the gals.

    Anybody disagree and think it is ok to cheat on your spouse?
  • lawnmowermanlawnmowerman Posts: 19,477 ✭✭✭✭
    I agree SanctionII.

    Also, not sure if this has been said by anyone but seeing how he is one of questionable morals and character, the question of whether or not he used/uses peds wouldn't be that far fetched.
  • DboneesqDboneesq Posts: 18,219 ✭✭
    SanctionII, well said. Nothing wrong with romancing as many ladies as you like, but don't do it while you are married. I am sure that Derek Jeter has had as many, if not more, woman as Tiger ... HOWEVER, he knew that's what he wanted to do and he stayed single. As a golfer I still admire Tiger ... as a man, not as much. If it was one time that he screwed around, that's something that I am sure many people would forgive if a person apologized ... but there is just no way to apologize for what he did. IMO
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Tiger will win again if he plays, he's too good not to win, but for sure, and he will not stop sniffing! image

    Let's see, this gal worked in a clothing store in Sweden, Yasper Parnevik's wife met her in that store, hired her as a nanny for their kids, with the understanding she move to the U.S. with the Parnevik family.

    She did, and for one year, Tiger tried to hook-up with her, along with a bunch of other single young, rich pro golfers, all sniffing around her for many months, looking to be hooked-up via her boss, Yasper Parnevik.

    But she wasn't a "gold-digger", no way! She just decided to date the world's best (and richest) golfer out of pure love? image


    Talk about living the "American Dream"?

    From working gal in a clothing store in Sweden to a 20 million prenup as a billionaire-golfer's wifey, in less than 7 years. Wow!

    You go girl! image

    I wont disagree with you however what I find funny about athletes that get "worldwide support, admiration & respect" is why? WE DONT KNOW THESE GUYS PERSONALLY! Sure Tom Brady is my favorite athlete and I love him as a PLAYER but do I respect him and admire him? No I dont because I never sat down and had a conversation with him or know even the slightest about him personally, none of these guys are any different than any other human being aside from the fact they are pro athletes, we dont know them so I again I find it quit humorous that people are shocked or let down by any of these guys actions that are supposedly offensive or "not right"

    Im not defending him for cheating either just making a point about Tiger and every other Pro Athlete that we "Admire & respect"

    Tiger (IMO) would be hounded without mercy even if he played golf on Neptune. I think it's a stretch to call it cheating, from what I've read, heard and has been reported, Tiger was seriously into a lot of ladies...pun works here. Interestingly, all the ladies appear to be white, surely there are many lovely black ladies he could have met up with along the way.

    Tiger will either disappear to Sweeden, or cruise the world on his yacht and do whatever it takes to keep his wife at his side. If the "situation" evolves into more and more women coming out of the wood work, and these allegations are somehow confirmed, I would think Mrs. Woods would be fleeing the scene, kids in tow and oh, several Brink's trucks escorting her many, many millions with her.

    When you see Tiger's wife, you gotta ask yourself what the hell was he thinking??? The ultimate WICKED DUMBASS MOVE Too way bizzarro for me.

    Methinks Tiger gets a coal mine for Christmas, sans da sock.

    I wonder if any of these fine ladies gave Tiger something to remember them by? Such as something incurable?
  • Unfortunately his wholesome image has been negatively tainted forever. Based on the unbelievable facts that are surfacing maybe it was just that - an image and not the true reality.

    Tiger was popular with some people who wouldn't otherwise be interested in golf, namely women.

    I think what he did was actually pretty disgusting based on the fact that he was married with two young children.

    You make the bed that you have to sleep in. I feel no compassion for him

    "...what......was he thinking??? ..."

    /////////////////////////////////


    IF the downlow-gay stories break open next week,
    we may get some more answers to that.

    The pimp that produced the tax-records on one of TW's
    chicks - escort services pay taxes too - says that TW
    was not shy about "getting it on" with the guy friends
    of some of the chicks.

    I am not sure what "getting it on" means, in this context.

    The pimp claims to have collected more than $60K from
    TW. One of the escorts paid by the pimp is one of the
    named chicks; she claims the money was not for services
    sold to TW.

    "...Braun said her escorts all described Woods as being “wild and a lot of fun …. He was tough to keep up with – with days at a time, just on a booze and sex bender who loved getting it on with her guy friends too....

    .....................

    I always assumed TW was gay or bi. Frankly, I don't care
    how sports-stars have sex. I just like to watch them play
    their chosen game.

    I was MUCH more surprised that he was a lush than I was
    that he was a chaser.

    The ONLY "problem" I have with TW's escapades is that
    he was collecting sponsor-cash on the basis of an image
    that turned out to be largely false.

    .....................................

    In "Training a Tiger: A Father's Guide to Raising a Winner in Both Golf and Life,"
    Earl Woods wrote pretty extensively about training TW to be oblivious to folks
    shouting and making crowd noises.

    I doubt the catcalls will bother him, when he next tees it up.

    Maybe this will give him some humility instead of being a pompous holier than thou jerk.

  • If he really loved his wife, he's paying dearly for his infidelity. He's only hurting his family, and himself.

    But I'm amoung those who don't care. As a matter of fact, I get a laugh out of this at least once a day.

  • I can see Tiger doing an "Eiffel Tower" or two, but don't think he is on the down low.

    "...f he really loved his wife, he's paying dearly for his infidelity...."

    .................................................

    IF he "loved his wife," we would not be having this chat.

    He was likely telling the mistresses the truth, when he said
    the marriage was "all for publicity."

    Hopefully the gallery will show more class than he has...

    While he is a terrifc athlete, he will never, ever be in the same class as Sam Snead or Ben Hogan.

    Tiger has squandered his greatness and while he can and should be welcomed back on the tour- it has to come at a price. The comparisons to the real greats ends because there are more important things in life besides winning. Apparently, those things are yet to be learned when we all assumed it was there all along. What a disgrace... in a magnitude than just can not be memorialized in a sentence, a paragraph or even a book. A book that should not be written to spare the many who actually believed. End of discussion.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
