Who did you consider "Tiger Haters" at The Golf Channel?

Turner said:The reason is easy.bigunreal said:I only tuned in a few times to the ridiculous spectacle that was the fourth round. Ames certainly lived up to the standards others have set when being paired with the great one in the final round; could you collapse any more thoroughly than he did? Why even show up if you have that little fortitude? Ernie Els did what he is specializing in; coming close, but not quite winning. The last time I tuned in, Woods actually bogeyed a hole, cutting the lead to one, but shockingly enough, Els managed to get in trouble at the exact same time, and bogeyed as well, staying two strokes behind Woods. How many times have we seen this happen? If it isn't fixed, then we are seeing the final product of over two generations of brainwashing. Maybe white men, even the most athletic of them, simply have been conditioned into a total inability to defeat black competition. I don't see any other explanation, outside of the events being rigged, that explain how so many top players-who are supposedly the best in the world at what they do-can consistently be intimidated by this one player, who just happens to be the media's favorite.
Where Tiger far outstrips his direct competitors is not technique and skill but the will to win.
When opponents have roughly the same skill level the one who wants it more is going to win .Tiger has great skill level and the will to grind out a victory a very dangerous combination
There is nobody out there that can match Woods will to win.
You can dislike him for his arrogance but the man has an incredible will to win and will not give up.
That is why i doubt that you will ever see Tiger humbled or implode.
When your will flags you begin to makes mistakes and you will start to doubt yourself .Tiger's mental strength means that his will to win will not flag.
Until a player comes forward who can match Tiger's mental strength on a consistant level Woods will remain the dominant player.

Not suprisingvoice said:My mom had a friend who was the driver that picked up Tiger Woods after a tournament that Tiger lost recently.
Tiger handled the defeat publicly ok , but as soon as he set foot in the car he started to cry and have a temper tantrum like he was 10 years old. No kidding...
This brings a smile to face when I think about it. It sure would give his competitors an advantage if it ever got out!
Tiger "Cry Baby" Woods has a nice ring to it!

white is right said:I think you get competition but not so much from North America. You need to live in the burbs and not be lower middle class to play golf at the real courses. Yes I suppose working class and lower middle class kids could play at the public courses with their flat greens and rocky fairways....But any course that is halfway decent has a minimum fee of 60 a round for adults, maybe 30 for juniors. Add that up by playing X times a week and month and that's why the best athletes will never be golfers.

jaxvid said:I knew it wouldn't be a white guy that could run down His Royal Highness, so I was mildly hopeful when I saw that an asian was in contention. It's gotta be an asian, hispanic, or indian, to take Woods on, there's no white guys with the cajones left in the top ranks to do it.
I was hoping Padraig was going to be the next great white hope but for the 2nd week in a row he has collapsed. He's done as a force to challange Woods. That leaves no white golfers left. Mickelson's too inconsistent, guys like Furyk are not top challangers, Els is done as a major force. Really no one left. It'll be hard for a young white guy to take on Woods at this stage. I'm glad to see him lose but it's a real bummer that a US white guy didn't do it.
