| How I see it....
I think of Tiger Woods more as Tiger the "idea" than the person. While I'm an admitted newbie (as far as following pro golf) who doesn't know much about the games history (a'hem though the addiction I have now is making up for that)...I can say that from my perspective Tiger has done more for the game of golf than any other player in popculture in any other sport. I think what's important here is that we look at how the general public views golf and not just the niche of super-fanatics we have here. Tiger turned golf (from a general-public members perspective) from a borring slow paced game that was used as filler on cable TV on weekends to a prime-time, fast paced sport that is accessible to all people regardless of social background. Golf is now a primtime sport, it's on the TV at the ESPN zone. I'll put it to you this way, ask a non-basketball fan who Michael Jordan is....good chance they will know. Ask a non golf-fan who Jack is....you'll probably get a puzzled look, now ask them who Tiger Woods is...exactly.
