Opinion of Tiger Woods

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

A truly disgusting and f[inks]ed up excuse for a human being. One of the worst people ever to become a famous professional athlete.

[Santander]

It disgusts me that so many people still support him.

[NewYorkExpress]

He's the best golfer ever, and if your standards for "horrible human being" are "cheated on your wife" than about 85% of the male population are horrible human beings.

FF

[Santander]

He's the best golfer ever

That title belongs to a certain Severiano Ballesteros.

[If my soul was made of stone]

Yes, and?

Erm not even close. More like 20%.

Atlas users really need to read up on sports history. Not everybody who recently dominated is the greatest. Woods is behind Nicklaus and probably Bobby Jones as well.

[Senator Spark]

Terrible HP. I hope he recovers though.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Neither a FF nor an HP. However, he is horrible at taking care of his body.

[Calthrina950]

HP. Not only did he cheat on his wife, but he seems to be unaware of who he is, and tries to obfuscate his racial identity (and wrapping himself with blackness when he's confronted with racial stereotypes). His political opinions also seem to be opposite of mines, given that he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump, and accepted it from him.

Accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump does not equal supporting Trump. Believe it or not, Trump didn't exclusively issue that award to people who supported him. I'm relatively convinced that Annika Sorenstam and Alan Page (both of whom were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump) were not Trump supporters, and probably didn't or wouldn't have voted for him.

Also Woods spoke at Obama's inauguration.

To me he seems apolitical. Believe it or not, plenty of geniuses in one field (especially sports related) aren't very bright or tuned in other ways.

Of course Trump didn't exclusively issue the Presidential Medal of Freedom to his supporters, but many of those whom he did issue it to, or tried issuing it to, were clearly aligned with him politically. I view Woods as being one of these. But I'm not interested in getting into an extensive argument about this, nor was I seeking it.

If you vote HP here because of the adultery and ignore it when politicians waving the same colored flag that you do do it, you might be an asshole.


I have no idea if he's a FF or HP, and I don't know if he is the best golfer of all time.

about 85% of the male population are horrible human beings.

It's closer to 95, but I take your point.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

If 85-95% of adult men are terrible human beings then the term has became over-inclusive and lost all its meaning.

[Santander]

about 85% of the male population are horrible human beings.

It's closer to 95, but I take your point.

And the remaining 5% are the gay ones, lol.

Hey, I included gay men in my statement. The remaining 15% in my statement were single men.

[DINGO Joe]

Didn't vote.  He seems to be the product of an unusually intense and flawed father.  Not that free will doesn't exist and all, but damn that was one fanatical childhood. 

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Nicklaus might have been better career wise but Tiger was the most dominant at his peak

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

An extremely flawed, but not bad, person. Neither FF nor HP. But watching him in contention at a golf tournament is as good as watching sports gets.

Erm not even close. More like 20%.

The 20% figure refers to the percentage of married men who "...report cheating on their spouses."  That's not the same thing as the percentage who have cheated, period.  There was a 2008 New York Times article that addressed this issue, asking its readers: "If you cheated on your spouse, would you admit it to a researcher?"  I don't think I would unless I had gotten caught--instinctively it seems best to have as few people know as possible.
