    The comments are fascinating, some say Woods doesn't deserve the honor, others say golf is too trivial an activity to award such achievement. I'm sure others just hate Trump. Me, I think this is pretty cool.

    Completely indifferent to this. Good for Tiger. Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Trump obstructed justice in the Russia investigation and his AG and Treasury department have committed crimes against congress.

    Probably offered it to him so that Tiger wouldn't rat out trump's well documented cheating ways...on the golf course.

    This is one thing that doesn’t bother me a bit. Tiger is a great example of American exceptionalism and is arguably the best thing to happen to golf, and not just American golf, since Arnie and Jack. Tiger winning the Masters was remarkable at his age and especially considering the physical issues he had to defeat in order to have a chance at playing at a high level, much less winning. Sure, his personal problems are troubling, but not something many regular guys haven’t had to deal with. Trouble in a marriage, driving when he shouldn’t have. Reportedly, trump and Tiger are friends, which makes the award even less surprising. I have huge issues with trump and his domestic and foreign policies, and today, 400 American prosecutors signed a letter saying that had trump been anything except the president, he would be charged with a felony for obstruction. This has nothing to do with any of that.

    Congratulations, Tiger. Well deserved. In your own way, you are an American hero, a word thrown around too often these days.

    They do - both like blondes right?

    What do we have here? A corrupt and crooked President who built a fake empire on celebrity cult of personality giving an award of uncertain meaning to a wayward son who had reached the pinnacle of his sport as no other had, but fell to a scandalous disgrace as a womanizer, drug abuser, and broken down has been to turn it around, clean himself up, and win the greatest golfing tourney just in time to make it a made-for-TV special.

    That's honestly as American as Apple Pie.

    Trump hates black renters, most black politicians and literally all black countries, but owns a ****ton of golf courses so this is as close as he'll get to praising one. Until Lorenzo Maurice White and Mark Birbiglia Price get theirs the sports ones all seem illegitimate.

    "I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to," he said. "I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them. I was wrong. I was foolish."
