While I'm not a huge golf fan, I would agree with the sentiment Woods gets far too much limelight. He's a special player now doubt but the constant "Tiger did this, Tiger did that" of the media gets tiring, much like all the Leafs coverage during the season. It's also to the point where if he's entered it's pretty much a tournament for second place.
He's not alone, other sports have similar athletes. For example how crappy would it have been to be at your peak during Lance Armstrong's era?
People end up "hating" the player because of the over exposure and can wish injury on the player just to give others a chance.
