(11,464 posts)Golf is a republican game and most players (especially in the pre-1970 days) played on white only tourney's and white only country clubs without saying a word of defiance.
After all, it takes a millionaire to be able to afford the normally white only country clubs in the nation and go to a golf tournament and you are charged high admission fees, and hot dogs costing ten bucks (let alone greens fees.)
And someone like Jack designs courses for billionaires, so one expects he and Herr Mittens would be the type to be friends.
Most atheltes that are white over the years were republicans(scumbags like small town born, racist types ala Mickey Mantle for instance).
Tiger is only universally loved by other golfers because he single handedly raised the prize funds so that a person in 50th place makes a million dollars. It's not that they love him for being black(but in spite of it, and who knows what politics Tiger is anyhow.)
Jack still though is the single greatest player of all time.
Without Jack, there wouldn't have been a tour for Tiger Woods to join.
