Woods went straight to the scorer's tent, avoiding the CBS reporters...could've taken a few seconds to stop and make comments.

Yep. Woods is one of highest profile jerks out there. You just never see it because he always wins. Jordan was the same way.

Better than Jack? It's harder to be a champion AND a class act. Woods, you'll never get there.

That doesn't make him an ass. I don't know if he is or isn't but since when is it not okay to hate losing? LeBron James lost, he didn't talk to the media or even congratulate the Magic, but that doesn't make him an ass.

Yeah, I mean, should he have talked to the media? Sure. But when you lose like that, it's got to be very difficult to be controlled and answer a bunch of the same questions.

It doesn't make either one of them an ass, but it's less than classy.

Screaming "fuck" and "God damn it". Throwing his clubs. The British have a lovely word for his boorish behavior this week: prat.

In the last year, he has shown disrespect to Jack Nicklaus, not returning his calls.

Contrast the two of them. How they treated their competitors. How they handled disappointment.

With all due respect, Tiger may be a great champion, but he it will take a lot more than winning more than 18 majors for him to claim to be the greatest golfer in history.

He is a total prat who is is not qualified to carry Jack Nicklaus's jock strap.

As steve19 said, even if he does win 18 majors, that doesn't necessarily mean he is better than Jack Nicklaus. However, being a "total pratt" has nothing to do with it in my opinion.

You must not play a whole lot of golf, I'd guess. There's more to golf than just who got through 18 holes in the fewest trokes.

Even IF Tiger wins over 18 majors, he will never have as many second place finishes in majors as Jack and won't come close to Sneads all-time professional wins. Jack also played against players who weren't too chicken poop to really challenge him.

No, I don't. But I don't see how not talking to the media or getting upset when you hit a bad shot makes you worse of a player or person. Tiger is incredibly competitive and all people are different. Some people are calm, others wear their heart on their sleeve. It's not like he's upset at CBS, he's upset with himself for performing poorly. Why should he be required to give comments immediately after he loses???? I don't see how that makes him an ass nor how it makes him lesser of a player.

If he wants to be upset with himself then let him. Again, all people are different. Just because you may act differently doesn't mean that everyone should be like you.
