I would say whatever he's been doing thus far in his career has been working out ok.
Tiger Tantrums?
- Thread starter Swanson10
- Start date
I don't have a problem with it. He does act like a baby a lot of the time though.
The other TW (Watson) said it best after his final round at The Open last week. After having the media and huge crowds following him all week, he said he didn't know how Tiger could deal with that kind of attention week in and week out. He said it was a testament to Tiger's character and that it would be difficult to say how any of us would react/behave under the pressure he deals with every week.
That being said, he all ready has ungodly amounts of money and we all know everyone makes a bad golf shot from time to time, and you may even make enough of them where you actually miss a cut.

Tiger needs to shut his mouth and quit throwing tantrums. I totally agree with this. He has won so much. Quit being a poor sport when things arn't going your way.
Just out of curiosity, at what number of wins do you have to stop throwing tantrums?
I subscribe to the Charles Barkley "I'm not a role model" commercial.......if you raise your children the right way, they will recognize poor behavior when they see it, and not try to emulate it. If Tiger was my kid, I'd chew his *** for acting like that, but he's not. With that said, I'd have more respect for him if he could control that a little better.
I don't think it's about the money to him at this point. He cares about playing to his own standards for himself, not about winning and not about the trappings that come along with it.
He gets frustrated when he doesn't perform to his own expectations, and he expresses his emotions. I don't know how you can fault someone for that. It's everyone else that shoves a camera in his face every time he takes a step and hangs on his every word.
He's probably the best golfer of all time. Who is anyone else to say he's not doing things right?
Tiger is a big baby and I'm embarrassed when my kids see how he reacts to negative situations on the golf course. He is not as strong mentally as his father has always claimed.

Tiger handles negative situations better than anyone in golf. Does he cuss? Yes. Does he throw his clubs? Not really but kind of. But what does he do when he hits a poor shot into the bunker? He knocks the next shot to within 6 feet and makes the putt. He is the best athlete in sports as far as mentality goes and the only one even close is Federer
Bernie Maddoff(sp) was one of the richer guys in the country. Who is anyone else to say he's not doing things right?
Tiger's on-course shennanigans at Turnberry were lame. Tiger's caddy Stevie Williams behaves worse than Tiger does.
When Stevie goes on one of his rampages and charges into the crowd, I'd love to see somebody taser him. If I was a photog and Stevie started grabbing for my equipment, that's what I would do...
