um, i'm a human. when thousands of humans try to do something and a single 1 excels far beyond all others, i find that inspiring.
have you never had anyone inspire you? have you never had a childhood hero? have you never aspired to be like that person?

if it was easy, would he land in the rough and bogey some holes?
your definition of easy is obviously flawed if you think the sport is 'easy' for him. Now sure, some specific courses are easy, but when he screws up even at those places, that proves there is still a chance of error when he swings that club. But it's not chance. If he doesn't line his body up perfectly, he is introducing a possibility of screwing up. A champion has to read everything about the environment and himself, that is the constant challenge of the game. If you misread your own body cues, you will screw up greatly. That is why EVERY golfer has bad days and will every now and then, or some more than others, land in the rough or in hazards. Bad reads, be it from the environment or your body.
Golf is a helluva challenging sport once you reach the pro level. The challenge never lets up, just how much you perfect your ability will help your score. But the challenge constantly exists.
It isn't Tiger you should be talking about, but the mental fragility of most of his opponents. On any given day, one or more can take him down, but if he's on top of everything like he has been recently, no one is going to beat him. I can appreciate his dominance, and the phenomenal things he does on the course. I would like for a legitimate competitor to step up and routinely challenge him, if for no other reason than to see what level he can attain.

I don't know what the other players think, other than one player remarked;"It just makes it harder for the rest of us," Johnson said. "Why give him another thing to try to achieve. He's a very driven man. When you add another element to that drive, what are you going to do?" So all of the players are not enamored of Woods.
Speak for yourself. I'm an American and i don't love dominating athletes. And there were many millionaire golfers long before Woods came along, and large purses too.
Not really ... Tiger has driven it to entirely different realms ... sure there may have been a few millionaires, but the regular grinder on tour is now at that point too. I'd be willing to bet that although it hurts to lose to him all the time, most are thankful for his presence in terms of what sort of financial rewards come about.

Yeah, and you were the only 3 people. If you don't think Tiger has been a huge draw for non-golf fans, then you've spent too much time with the ball washer (I don't even know what that means).
So if you have been watching golf since the 60's and have all these friends that watch it with you wouldn't you realize that the ratings of golf have increase since tiger has been playing? Haven't you realized that when tiger is on his game more people start to tune in? OP your are acting like a tool right now. And to answer your question, No! I'll watch tiger win every day and still not get tired of it. Watching what he does is just breath taking at times and seem impossible.
