Why does a thread celebrating the comeback of a man that cheated on his wife remind you of apologists for a guy accused of raping a woman?
I think Ben Hogan had the greatest comeback:

The man was hit by a bus.
At this age folks are playing the Senior Circuit. This man has a fused back, more than 3 surgeries and is over 40 years old . His last 3 majors are 6th, 2nd and now win. this is a progress which shows this man wasn't just winning because of tiger effect, he was winning because he has talent which no one, even at this time has .

Don't call somebody a supporter of a white supremacist piece of shit when he has clearly never expressed support for him then. I already said I hate seeing Tiger golf with him but people trying to spin that as explicit admiration/agreement are disingenuous fucks.
This thread is about Tiger's incredible accomplishment. No need for the political crap in the thread.
Incredible moment in golf history, and it was a pleasure watching. I couldn't be any happier for Tiger.
It's a shame that some people can't just enjoy this moment and be happy for the guy. People act like they have never made mistakes and don't have any skeletons in their closest. I'm willing to forgive people for their short comings because lord knows I need forgiveness as well.
Great win for tiger today and golf in general.

Folks in the media made it out to be that way, it wasn't that serious nor nobody's business. He cheated, that's it. Some folks made it seem like he committed murder.
He's actually objectively NOT stupid, which makes it even more exasperating. Just living in a bubble of white privilege, I guess.
Damn, 11 years since his last Major as well.
And I can only imagine how seeing things like that made him even more determined.

Because people are incredibly quick to completely ignore when somebody is a disgusting asshat in real life and immediately shoot down anybody who brings it up "You are just jealous" "Let's just celebrate this and ignore who this person is offside the field" "Why does it matter he is Trump supporter, this is just about this sport thing".
lol some of you people are absolutely insufferable and I can't imagine having to deal with you in real life
I feel like you're maybe ascribing a deeper reaction to people than they are actually having. I don't know that you can ascertain a person's level of anger or whatever from a sentence or two on a forum, and even so I don't see anything wrong with someone not wanting to support a cheater, or someone who has ties to Trump (which I'm honestly not familiar with).
So you're comparing raping people to what Tiger did then.
Seems like you associate with Trump supporters, sort of like Tiger.
Like how would you not at least block his number after he apparently laughed about a person getting murdered?
Weird how defensive people get defending a sports person they dont know at all
Happy for the game of golf though. No matter what golf is always better when Tiger is playing well. It's pretty incredible what he had done for the sport

UGH you like Tiger Woods? didn't you know he cheated on his wife 10 years ago?!
Oh for sure, that's what the media does, but knowing that it happened, if you are someone who is strongly against cheating or have been personally effected by it in your life, it's reasonable to come to the conclusion that "I don't like the guy" because of it, right?
One Poster calling tiger a coon and another one comparing cheating to rape
What the actual fuck is wrong with you people

If we are going to shit on a sport figure it should be Tom Brady. Much bigger scumbag than Tiger and he objectively didn't earn half of his achievements.
Interesting choice of words there.
This. Man should be well over the hill and yet he still competes at such a high level. You could say his play is....Otherworldly. I'll see myself out.
I'm against it but it's not that serious. Folks literally around the nation treated him like he kicked a 5yr old.. it really wasn't that big of a deal. Relationships end all the time for a variety of reasons. Life continues.
Obama doesnt give a shit, neither should you. He cheated on someone. He moved on, so did the ex wife.
Whats the problem here?
It doesn't have to be that way! You dislike Tiger? Cool. You're happy he won? Cool. I'm just saying like everybody doesn't have to be at each other's throats about it, ya know?
To be fair, people do shit on him all the time haha
Let's chill on the " didn't earn half of his achievements" talk. The man is the goat QB let's put some respect on his name.
Tiger means so much to so many people, particularly if they grew up watching golf with their dads.
So I get it.
You know how people say someone who has committed a crime and then served time deserves a second chance? Tiger cheated, super shitty thing do, got divorced (good for her), lost a good chunk of his money (deservedly so). That's his equivalent of "serving time". There's been literal murderers and abusers on NFL teams and this is the hill people are deciding to die on? Winning the masters does not erase the shitty thing he did. But because he did a shitty immoral thing does not erase the accomplishment of the major.
I mean, you're killing yourself with all this concern. I'm sure Tiger's ex isn't as wound up as you are at this point. It's been more than a decade by now.
Enjoy life. I worry about the mental health of some of you here sometimes.
This person is literally more upset about the past than anyone who was actually involved. Thats some messed up issues right there.
He also played golf with Obama like that same week he golfed with Jack and Trump.
Tiger's never gotten political.. and he's probably not about to anytime soon. This pick a side crap is ridiculous.. there's more to life than just politics.
Dude, shit happened more than a decade ago.
It's laughable if you're with someone enjoying the Masters and they just bring that shit up after Tiger ends up winning it as if everyone doesn't already know.
It was a shitty thing to do, everyone is clear on that.
Not even that. It's not like Tiger Wood didn't pay a huge price--lost tons of money, sponsorship deals, destroyed his family, lost his mojo, and killed his reputation.
I feel like the whole concept of redemption is lost on people these days.
What the fuck is this about?????
Fair enough but it doesn't have to come up in everything. Take a day off from this shit drink a coke and watch some sports. I havent forgotten about that shit for more than an hour.
The man is literally trying to put children in cages. We are so far past the typical stages of decorum at this point that really defending it is sad. Everything in life is political. People who say otherwise are just that arent affected.
I don't understand it, if we go by that metric then half the NFL and NBA should be out of jobs. Although I guess in the case of Tiger, he let it get to his head in combination of his older techniques were destroying his body.
I swear there's an online leaderboard somewhere we don't know about that tallies up woke points.
