Tiger has so many more fans that Jack has in his dreams!!! tiger is the most popular golfer EVER. Fact. Jack is a distant 2nd. Tiger has done more for the game than Jack, Arnie and Tom Suck Watson combined. I didn't say fans dumb [censored].....I said beloved....Tiger is the king of T shirt fans Tiger grew the game more than any other five superstar golfers combined, including Jack. It’s not even close. Part of that isn’t Jack’s fault; Tiger came up when TV, video games and the internet were more prevalent and advanced. Millions could watch Tiger every week and buy his Nike stuff or play him in a video game, which not only created more fans, but grew the game far beyond Jack’s wildest dreams. Tiger’s video games alone are responsible for growing the game and creating more golf fans than Jack could’ve ever imagined. He brought untold numbers of minorities to golf who otherwise never would’ve cared, just because they could relate to the color of his skin and he had a coolness factor that no other golfer ever possessed. Not to mention, he was hitting the ball farther, closer to the pin and winning by record amounts. He totally dominated the game, revolutionized the game and benefited from TV and marketing campaigns. They had to “Tiger proof” golf courses because he was so dominate. Jack is great. Was great. He played against five guys who could challenge him, and even that's a stretch. Tiger is more beloved than Jack by leaps and bounds, despite his indiscretions. You want to argue number of majors? Fine. But don’t let the opinions of 50-80 year old white guys taint the reality that Tiger is more beloved in the US and certainly across the globe than Jack ever was or will be, Tiger’s marriage, DUI, etc be damned. More than an entire generation of kids who never would’ve cared about golf, as well as the people who otherwise already would’ve been golf fans, consider Tiger beloved. Go back to your film room and sit the golf conversations out. shouldn't all those minority fans be on tour by now or attending events?

I thought golf was supposed to be about high morals and all that stuff.

I thought golf was supposed to be about high morals and all that stuff. Thanks for pointing that out tricky, it matters in all sports actually but some can overlook the fact that Tiger has spent a small fortune on call girls most while married to a woman of high morals. No one can argue all the career stats he accomplished in a fairly short period but when I pick my sports hero's of which there are very few, I value morals while competing apparently a lot more than some on here. No way can I overlook the morals of men like Dennis Rodman, Mike Tyson, O.J. Simpson, Rae Carruth, Lawrence Phillips to name a few. So pick your hero's as you will but don't begrudge me for bringing morals into it.

I’ve watched PGA golf every weekend it’s on TV for years and I’ve lived in Fort Worth for 13 years now. I’ve only been to the Colonial three times, two of which were the last two years because Der was interested in attending and now I want to go every year. Attending a tour event does not equal fandom, though. Millions of people love Lebron James and have never seen him in person. Your golf takes are not great, Butch.

But I don’t begrudge your bringing morals into it as long as you’re consistent with those morals. I’m also not defending Tiger’s lack of morals in his personal life. I can explain why he is the most beloved and popular golfer of all time to someone who is misinformed without defending him or his immorality, which is what I did. Every time you bring this stuff up, you’re really arguing FOAT and not GOAT, which is great, but let’s be honest about it. That he was immoral off the course doesn’t take away from what he did on the course, which is what makes one the GOAT.

When did I say I was an expert? read your post The one where I explained how people can watch golf on TV every weekend and never, or rarely, attend actual tournaments in person and still be fans, using myself as an example? It has nothing to do with being an expert. I was responding to your question about where all of the minorities are at tour events.

How come when someone calls Tiger the Goat. Others on here think that means he is their hero.

Well there goes his morals.

If Tiger is truly, no comparison the GOAT, then he will win 4 more major's. Is that what all you guys are saying?
