Tiger Is No Jack

Tiger Woods is no Jack Nicklaus, this according to Tom Watson. Watson spoke out today against Tiger Woods, saying he needs to clean up his act and show humility to the public. Watson also said, "I feel that he has not carried the same stature that other great players that have come along like Jack [Nicklaus], Arnold [Palmer], Byron Nelson, the Hogans, in the sense that there was language and club throwing on the golf course...You can grant that of a young person that has not been out here for a while. But I think he needs to clean up his act and show the respect for the game that other people before him have shown."

Snap! Tom Watson put Tiger in his place, and Watson has the right to do this. Watson is one of the more elite players to ever swing a club, and still has some serious game. If there is one player who should speak out on tour right now, it probably is Watson. Don't let John Daly tell you his feelings. Don't listen to Jesper Parnevik. He has other motives, as he is the one who introduced Tiger to Elin.

Tom Watson should be praised for what he said. He showed some serious balls speaking out against Tiger, and I hope people see this as a good thing. I hope Tiger clicks thru ESPN online tomorrow, reads Watson's comments, and decides that maybe he should show some humility. Nice work Tom.
