But that doesn't have anything to do with bashing golf?
When one of the guys that knows more about this than I can take a second to chime in, please inform me why Tiger Woods is such a heated piece of shit here. As far as I know, he cheated on his spouse (a lot) and had substance abuse issues. The incidents with his wife happened 10 years ago. Lots of people have substance abuse issues and are heralded as being brave etc if they clean up, yet TW is a piece of shit.
Thanks in advance.

Did he even have an actual substance abuse thing going on?
I thought they were calling the philandering an "addiction", ie: quack diagnosis so he'd have something to blame other than himself.
I don't think people would care much if he was single. He was just held up as this super awesome, larger than life person, hero of the sport, clean image, kids want to be like tiger woods, etc. and it turned out he was just a garden variety loser.
Gravied for responding, holding nose at “garden variety loser”.
Not cheating on your spouse is not some difficult thing to accomplish. Average, flawed people do it every day. All you have to do is keep your pants on. Assuming they were on when you left the house all you have to do is nothing. Doing nothing is pretty easy.
I think it was the marketing image of being built up as some super great whole person instead of just being a great golfer that was probably not so great in other aspects of life.
That kind of image building happens all the time with famous people. Gotta be careful making heroes out of mere mortals.
I also have to wonder who does the image building? Yes, he allowed it, but who wouldn’t at age 20 whatever when he got huge?
We did it. Nike did it. Just did it.
Hey now
Everyone was throwing cash and pussy at him trying to get a piece of the fame
Yep. I bet he was surrounded by people telling him he was the greatest thing since sliced bread and could do no wrong and after hearing it enough he started to believe it.
