I also do not see the point of this article. Chris, let's hope that your inaugural article for '07 is your lowpoint of the year in terms of journalistic relevance to the golf industry.

To the writer:
What is your point through this brainless article? What are you trying to compare? Present life compared to 45 years ago? How you can disrepsect Jack like that? Even the day Tiger will surpass Jack's record Jack's legend will be the same. Sucking Tiger is a daily thing that you all do so you can have the balls to ask him a question without him completely ignoring you. But you should have some limits since you have no dignity. In your life probably you haven't achieved even 0.0001 of the things Jack achieved. So the next time prior you calling him, or as a matter of fact any other legend, an excuse maker or whatever else, take a good look at your goofy face. Maybe you'll realize that as Mr. Nobody you should criticize yourself before you exercise meaningless critiques to others...

I guess everyone has a right to his or her opinion as much as the next person, but it amazes me how far people extend their thoughts from the solid earth reality sometimes. It is not a shocker that the number one golfer in the universe is going to be a father, that makes him as human as any other male walking the land, but for the writer of this article to suggest Tiger will fall short on being the father type that he was raised by is probably an understatement. Tiger will only do things "top notch" and for one he would not take this as another opportunity to blast his fellow competitors like you media types somehow always revert to doing. I think being human will reign in this situation for the Superman of Golf and the world, whether they like Tiger or not, will finally see a form of Kryptonite, that the golf viewing world will welcome.

How an illiterate, hackneyed hack (Check the grammar) can have the audacity to question the commitment of dedicated golf professionals just because they live in the era of Tiger is simply beyond belief. Can anyone question the efforts of Garcia, Els, Goosen etc.?
Whether Tiger gets better, worse or stays the same is largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. What is relevant is that such a stupid article is distributed to golf fans without any hint of humour or credit to other players. Believe it or not, we are not all rabid Tiger fans.
Unless an apology is forthcoming I for one will be boycotting this site

Just an observation on the Tiger cavalcade.I was at the first tee in Hoylake last July for the final day of the Open Championship eagerly anticipating the Garcia /Woods clash.
So, Sergio arrives with his caddy to a terrific welcome. A bit later Tiger arrives to a great but more respectful welcome,but with a phalanx of security/Nike people who preceded to take up positions around the tee and down the fairway like some sort of military take over (hold and secure the ground type of approach). this continued all the way around the course.After each shot the cavalcade moved on to the next etc.
I thought this whole circus was most unfair and posibly intimidating for Garcia. Whether it affected his performance only he can say .Neverthless, it is an unwelcome distraction for anyone who playes with Tiger especially in a Major .Is this how it is going to be ?
I wish Tiger and his wife the very best and am delighted for their good fortune.

Oh pity poor Baldwin for he is so pathetic like most other media. Tiger is a great golfer and will continue to be so for many years. He was brought up by a caring father with much foresight.
But please Baldwin go to your peers and acknowledge the fact there are many other golfers out there who are working their tails off on the tour. They deserve some recognition, give it to them!!

by Tom Price
Pointless. This article is pointless.
Tiger is indeed a great golfer - one of the best. So was Jack Nicklaus. Tiger is a machine. He makes it clear that he will continue to plough through tournaments without concern for the human aspect of golf. Good for him, his choice.
Hopefully, Tiger will not treat his new entry into the family with the same disdain for the human element as he does his fellow golfers. That will be his loss. And at 31, he has had an eleven year gap of lack of baby excuses, as Mr. Baldwin calls them, to catch up on Jack's truly incredible record having started his family at 20.
Mr. Baldwin should give credit where credit is due. Not surprising that his articles are devoid of human interest, putting him in the same club as his hero.
Gimme Jack any day.

Mr Baldwin is another classic example of someone that knows it all and sensationalizes his opinion and puts it into print....I am sure he upset several people with his article...Tiger might be still dominant and might not be....Being a Father to some people is more important then anything in their lives...also being a husband is also important...having great health is right up there...anything could happen from travel to persoal injury...I would appreciate some or all of the jounalists saying something you seldom hear from any of them...."IN MY OPINION"...that would be nice...Tiger has from 1995, in particular done so much for the game and will continue to because of his talent and breaks to date including a Great Father Earl and Mentor...God Bless Him with Great Health, a Great Marriage and Oh Yes being a Great Parent.....Everyone in the World know he has the talent but the other things in his life have to be there...this Mr Baldwin does not know nor does anyone else on the Planet......Mr Nicklaus was a Great Player and Parent in his era "IN MY OPINION"....end of comments for now....

What the hell is going on here? The article is so idiotic it is not even funny. There are a lot of good golfers out there waiting to take the title. If you think Tiger is going to be more focused...guess again. Also to mention the OJ killings in a golf article, your editors must have been asleep having read this trash.

by Michael J
What kind of stupid article is this? Are you deliberately being foolish to provoke a response? If so, you're doing a great job. The last time I checked, Phil Mickelson had won the Masters and came within an eyelash of winning the US Open and his time is over? What an idiotic analysis.

by RM
PB and GJ hit the nail on the head with respect to Baldwins piece on Woods.
If this was an attempt to somehow "help" Tiger in any way shape or form it fell woefully short. I'm sure Tiger would be the first to say "Please don't try to help or defend me ever again. With friends like you I need no enemies."
Baldwin writes like a pimply faced pre-teen who slept through all of his English classes. His piece reminded me of Steve Martins line in Planes, Trains & Automobiles when he said (paraphrased)to Candy..."here's an idea, have a point to your story."
Do you folks even have an editor?

by PB
This article is a complete mess. The writer takes gratuitous swipes at some of the best golfers of the period for no clear reason. Why would he call Garcia, Scott and other great players a "gutless lot of pretend challengers"? Why would he insult the reader by suggesting he or she is such an idiot they should be "helping OJ search for the real killers." OJ? Did I read that correctly? Where is your quality control? All this article proves is that Tiger is such a force that he can even help second-rate golf writers make a living. Please stick to what you're good at.

by GJ
I'm not sure I get the purpose of this article. Is there a perception or fear in the golf world that Tiger, after having regained his stride and putting Vijay, Phil and the rest of the challengers squarely in his rearview mirror, will now falter upon the birth of his child? If so, I haven't heard it. Tiger just won the AP's male athlete of the year, beating out LaDanian Tomlinson, who has smashed almost every important individual record for running backs, and destroying Roger Federer, who looks to be the most dominating tennis player since Sampras. The author has simply created a non-existent issue and answered it, albeit in an obscenely self-serving fashion. The article lacks a drop of research, puts words and thoughts into the mouths and minds of Tiger, as well as several challengers, and tops it all off with several typos and a loosely strung together OJ reference (has nothing else of import or relevance occurred in the past 8 years?!) following a dangling clause.
Bravo. And to think that being back at my desk instead of spending another day on the beach couldn't get any worse. Please go back to writing about good golfing destinations -- at least you'll enjoy doing research for those articles.
By the way, if you know where I can find personal baby chefs, I'm in the market. I think it'd be impressive at my next dinner party to have a kitchen manned by 8 infants.

I thought this posting did not even warrant a response it was so bad.
But I realize now that Baldwin should be reigned in by his publisher or editor - if he has one. So, a note to management -can this clown.
