So just the layout of how golf is played seems to create more opportunities to cheat such that golfers may actually be more frequent cheaters than other sportsmen. But now we have one of the most celebrated sportsman of all time -- Tiger Woods -- who has been caught in a most spectacular debacle involving cheating with dozens of partners over a period of years, and getting away with it in the public's eyes until late 2009. You may not be inclined to focus on golf or even sports at all, but if you watch the news or read newspapers %26amp; magazines, you've not been able to avoid the flood of media that has been covering the Tiger Woods cheating scandal. And while cheating on your spouse is not the same as cheating on the golf course, they both involve a level of integrity that speaks to character. And the name Tiger Woods has been almost synonymous with golf such that the sport cannot help but be affected by his personal actions even off the golf course.
So has Tiger Woods cheating in general brought you to think of golfers as less honest than other sportsmen? Or do you think there is no association at all and hold the game of golf and it's players in the same regard now after the Tiger Woods debacle as you did before his cheating was revealed?
Did Tiger Woods personal indiscretions HURT the game of golf in the public eye? And if so, was that his fault, the media's fault (for such exhaustive coverage of it), or both?After the Tiger Woods debacle, do you think golfers are just inclined to cheat more than other sportsmen?
Since golf is really the only sport that self-polices, I can see where you draw that conclusion. But keep in mind that the pros are under constant scrutiny from cameras, officials, and each other, and a player caught cheating would be an outcast both personally and professionally. Vijay Singh had a scorecard incident 20 years ago on a mini tour and is still thought of as a cheater. So no I see this having no impact on the golfing public's perception of the game as a game of honor. The non-golfing public may have a different viewpoint, but golfers don't care what the non golfers think anyway.
What Tiger did hurt only him not the game. The media just acted like a pool of sharks. Any time you chase a record of a favorite son they will always put you under a microscope to judge any actions. Tiger's cheating was extreme, but it was not something he would go to jail for.After the Tiger Woods debacle, do you think golfers are just inclined to cheat more than other sportsmen?
No,
his cheating not in golf , but his private life .
why do you say like this ?
every game has its principle and rule .
But dear sir Tiger woods is no man he is a Tiger he was just being a Tiger and a Tiger likes too mingle with the females =DAfter the Tiger Woods debacle, do you think golfers are just inclined to cheat more than other sportsmen?
no. he said he was sorry but their will still be those people. depends on the person. not the sport. hate the player not the game.
Pro golfers do not cheat. It is first and only principle that all of the pros follow. No comment on Mr. Woods' as a human being.
he may have hurt the public eye, but the only thing that SHOULD have been hurt is his own relationship
the day after this happened my grandmother went on a rant of how golfers are horrible people, a week before i remember talking about how arnold palmer is a respectable man. point is that it will change the public eye for the less intellectual of folks (my family with the exception of some like me aint to bright)
anyways they will be more aware of the consequences of cheating if you ask me, on and off the course, because look at all the bad reputation he gained along with loss of endorsements plus a fear of other endorsements to sign on him
p.s you cant cheat more than baseball players :/ lol
Tiger as far as I know has never been accused of cheating in the game of Golf.
What I find interesting is this pedestal we put celebrity's upon. We can't seem
to get enough of them. Watching every move, listening to every word, Then all
of sudden we find out, this person is a human being, and that he or she has
weaknesses. Then all hell breaks loose, To who's moral fiber do we hold them
responsible. Their own or the false image we the people have given them. Tiger
will still be the same electrifying super star of the game when he steps onto the
grounds at the Masters, And Hopefully a better person for Understanding what
the reasons are that caused his fall from grace to begin with,. Let him sort out
his personal life, And we once again will see greatness on the green.
Tiger is A Legend ! FACT !! TV viewing is down 50% when he doesn't play !! He is the greatest golfer ever !! FACT. His mental strength, physical strength and ability is ahead of anyone else. People are catching up but have not yet ! He is still World No. 1 after being out for months with a knee injury and now his self imposed break! No-one is even close to catching him! Women have claimed to have been with Tiger but yet did NOT know he was married ! They are either Lying or the Most Stupid Slappers on Earth ! He is on TV, magazines, posters in shops ! And there is always Google! The Media portrayed Tiger as Whiter then White and Now are Knocking him! He pays their wages by being super talented and when he does something human he's the Anti-Christ ! Did they have a go at Tom Brady ? Or any of the other Thousands of sportsmen that have cheated ! Tiger knows that there will be a huge media frenzy at the Masters regardless of whether he is there or not, he seems to be taking the spotlight off himself as much as he can, making it less about him and more about the first Major of the year. I don't think he'll win but I would Not be surprised !! Get off his back and admire his Talent !! Golfers are not inclined to do anything more or less then any other sportsmen !
about as much as the fireman is more likely to cheat more than the mail man...what does being a golfer have to do male promiscuity ..?
