Everyone is entitled to their opinion regardless if they have an axe to grind or not.This thread was started because of the misconception that Tiger was getting preferential treatment from the rules officials.
After that was cleared up in the officials' favour and the game continued some people saw the forlorn chance of dipping into their personal hate bag to score points against a player or players who they disliked. I suppose it is their prerogative to hate someone regardless of the facts, LOL.
Whatever, I don't think that Tiger will lose much sleep on the opinions of some disgruntled people.
Also is is hard to be history when the 2 players mentioned are currently lying in 3rd and 6th places respectively on the worlds ranking list.
Just a refresher on how much money is up for grabs for example at the Masters. How many years of work would it take a "fan" to accumulate these figures at their work?

Don't forget these guys are playing for these sums on a weekly basis. Maybe that could be a small reason for the green eyed monsters getting their assumptions in the way of the facts?
Tiger finished his worst ever position as a professional in 40th place at this years Masters and collects $ 31,175. Only about $7793 a day.
