and they are both needed. I also like Rory. Tiger just moves the needle like no one else and he is more real than every golfer out there. Yes, i know that you are supposed to be composed and that is a big part of golf but let's be real anyone who has ever played golf gets really pissed off at times and at least Tiger shows it.
I think that is why many people like Tiger. He wears his emotions on his sleeve and he is one of the only golfers who does. That is how it is in most other sports and most of the time it is why people gravitate to certain people because you feel the sport through them.

i personally think many golfers come off as aloof rich kids.

Phil makes way more mental mistakes than Tiger and many fans think tiger is arrogant. Almost all really good athletes are arrogant(can we say Bird and MJ).

What is interesting is according to many reports is that Tiger is liked by his fellow players but Phil is not. Google FIGJAM and see what the players ay about Phil.
