now wait, chuck, tiger's screwin around was epic, way out there

We can't all operate at your level.

Feel free to break it down for me.

LMFAO.

Consensual sex with adult hot chicks is the same as Murder and rape?

Agreed. And Mick Jagger has 8 kids with 5 women. I think it comes with the territory - superstardom. If you're at the top, women kind of throw themselves at them. Jordan, Woods, Jagger,...the list goes on forever. Not saying it's right, but it's certainly part of that super-celebrity limelight.

Tyson and OJ are felons. One damn near cut his wife's head off. The other raped an 18 year old beauty queen. Both should be locked up.

no argument there, but it is a shame, some can handle it, others don't

They made careers outta sex, murder, and rape?

What’s that pay?

That’s a pretty myopic look at three lives.

i'll answer my own question, i don't think Tiger would have won if he had to deal with the real augusta, dried out, hard, fast greens

He got it done. Congratulations to him.

It ain’t complicated and hardly needs “breaking down”.

I’d start with both achieving incredible success and titles at 20 years of age, the youngest ever in both of their respective fields, and follow right on through their domination until father figures were lost, lives unraveled, and they both became tabloid fodder complete with mug shots and crazy azz sex allegations.

Kinda cool they both turned it around.

Wouldn't doubt it. His old man served our nation honorably, I've read.

"Earl Dennison Woods was born March 5, 1932, in Manhattan, Kan., raised there and went to college there — at Kansas State, which granted him a scholarship as a baseball catcher. At the time he was the only black athlete in the Big Seven (now the Big 12). He earned a degree in sociology in 1953, joined the Army in 1954 and stayed 20 years. He did two tours of duty in Vietnam and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Green Berets."

On his folks: "Tiger Woods’ guiding lights were a bull of man — his father, Earl — and a tiny woman — his mother, Kultida.

Together, they helped shape the kid he was and the man he would become. But it wasn’t the infantry officer who served two combat tours during the Vietnam War and was a member of the elite U.S. Army Special Forces who was the disciplinarian. No, the shortest member of the Woods household held sway.

“As we said in our family, my mom was the hand, and my dad was the voice. I could negotiate with him, but not with my mom. There was no middle ground with Mom,” Woods wrote in The 1997 Masters: My Story (Grand Central Publishing) released March 20. With Canadian Golf Hall of Fame writer Lorne Rubenstein, Woods reflects on his life inside and outside the ropes that led to his historic march to the green jacket in 1997.

In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY Sports, Woods said his parents never pushed him to play golf and never were disappointed no matter what score he shot. The two were equally influential when it came to his studies, curfew and his treatment of others."

Golf has never held more than a passing interest for me, but I applaud any guy who is able to rise from the ashes--even if the ashes were a result of a fire he started himself--and push through and succeed in the highest level after years of being written off.

Means nothing.

He played the same course as everyone else. The one he had to.

Because nobody else had/got to play in those conditions?

Well, congrats to him.. But he didn't win it so much as the others lost it - Molinari caved like a cheap tent; lost four strokes in what, 3 holes?? All Woodsie-boy hadda do is just be patient and let the others run outta gas on the last lap.. What really saved Woods' azz was his iron shots.. Gotta hand it to him - NOBODY hits irons like Woods when he's on.. Landing shot after shot within mere feet (or less) of the flag..

Nah, he WON that tournament.

Handling the pressure is part of it, and he excelled at it.

Talking to yourself is a good idea because you're probably the only person that can make any sense of that dumb ass comment.

Pressure's part of the game.

Woods managed it better than others.
