Trump seems to like golf so it doesn't seem unusual that he'd be watching. I don't watch golf and everything Trump does disgusts me, so I don't care much one way or the other.

Some of the stories about tiger and his "conquests" are disturbing.

No one would call him a progressive - but he's one of the all time great golfers. I don't like him as a person but I love a comeback from a great sportsman..

Years ago a dad I Know came up to me in a supermarket and said his son adored a particular regional athlete and he didn't think the guy was a good role model. I told him that he was supposed to be his son's role model. I told him to watch the games with his son and teach him to separate great at a sport from a great human.
That said, a comeback from rock bottom is a good thing in any sphere, but there are many complex compartments to human beings' lives.

Normally reserved for British Open.

Anyway, Tiger always figured to have another stretch on top. I've emphasized that on the major golf forums. I am never a believer in current form as opposed to "How good are you?"

We'll see if it translates to 4+ majors.

Justin Rose got a fortunate bounce on the 18th hole to birdie and win the $10 million and FedEx Cup title. Otherwise Tiger grabs that also. But I'm glad it happened. I have followed Rose on the course countless times and he's always a class act.

Besides, I like that Rose not only played in the Olympics but made the gold medal his huge priority that year, while other golfers like Rory were offering asinine excuses to stay away.
