I watched golf as a child with my dad--but didn't really "get it." Now my husband and I love watching Tiger. It's a thrill to watch anyone at the top of their game, but especially when they're likely to be categorized as the best ever (or in decades, century, etc. . . ) We also watched Lance Armstrong and Tour de France. Sadly, when they're not competing, our interest lags.

I am definitely the exception and not the rule when it comes to Tiger. I used to watch golf all the time and since he has been on the tour, I no longer watch golf because when he in the field there is a high probability he will win. What's the joy in that! I love it when he is no playing because the field is wide open and you have no idea who will rise to the occasion. I am in awe of his talent though.

Tiger has an amazing likability. So often you want to see the champion fall. I was elated when the NYGiants won the Superbowl. But somehow I can't find myself rooting against him.

How would compare Tiger with Michael Jordan on how they have each handled fame. And their impact on their sport
