Hmmm, okay. On one hand, Tiger brings the sports in-your-face bravado (remember the playoff vs Els? Ernie makes a long putt that Woods must match and makes a subdued, classy reaction. On the next hole, Tiger does the same, but emphasizes it by his trademark in your face antics) and entitlement (yes, he is the world's best golfer, but does that mean he can have fans move a boulder which is next to his ball? Remember THAT stunt?) Meanwhile, Phil - a good guy in the likes of Tim Duncan - is called crass because he was willing to possibly leave a golf tourney because of his child's birth? Wow, OK.

You have no idea what the motivation from either golfer is. Both of these men could have have had perfectly appropriate reasons for the way they handled the birth of their first child. Both men are great for the game of gold in general. Other than a pathetic sense of envy you have no basis for critisizing either of these men for the way they handled a very personal decision.

Tiger needs to be more careful than Phil. He gets more death threats from the crazies out there.

Phils baby in 1999 was due on the SUNDAY of the US Open. That got out and obviously the media asked what he would do, he answered honestly. Tigers baby was not due for another 3 weeks! It was not even an issue for the media going into the US Open so he wasn't asked. To twist that into saying Phil is crass and Tiger class is pure crap!

Golfan - I have never heard Phil drop an f-bmb and I have watched lots of golf. Tiger has dropped plenty from what I have watched.

Wow, I'm a huge Tiger fan, and I don't care for Phil, but to say he uses his kids...pretty judgemental.

There are those people who will always like Mickelson for his continual touchy-feely and down-home personality while conveniently disregarded his F-bombs.

Tiger Woods is truly a phenomenal golfer whether or not people like him or not.

By the way, all those down-home golfers aren't always as nice as people have seen on TV. For example, Zach Johnson snarled at people and whinned bitterly at the USGA. He was hopping mad after his sinal round when a baby cried on the 18th green. He was about to let the gallery have it when he was told that it was his son who wailed.

The fact is none of the fans really know the golfers up-close-and-personal. Mickelson is better at acting than Woods, that's all.

What is wrong with you--how can you say that about Mickelson-he is a fabulous father--he had a bad day-Tiger was swearing and carrying on when he hit in the rough also and thats why many people dont like him -he is crass and rude to most people!!
