One of our readers posted this comment, defending Tiger from naysayers who post on our blog. It was a very thoughtful post that I thought deserved everyone’s read because there are nothing like empirical facts to shed light on arguments:
“Anti-Tiger comments by media and fans are growing old. You people will find something to complain about when he’s winning too. This year, Tiger is:
#1 in putting average
#2 par breaker
#3 top ten finishes
#4 in scoring average
#4 in money
#6 in driving distance
Also, his career marks valididate “hype” for the next 200 years:
#1 career money leader
40 PGA Tour victories
7 International victories
8 other victories
8 major victories
130 consecutive cuts
Oh, and he’s 28 years old! Get over it. Tiger Woods deserves every bit of positive attention he gets, and only a fraction of the negative attention he gets. ”
Very well said.
