Tiger has worked very hard to get where he is and clearly he is vary talented. He has enjoyed a lot of success and earned a considerable fortune. Personally, I don't give a rip what happens to him now.

btw... Tiger walked over 21 miles on a broken leg during the US Open.
And yes boxing like all most all sports IS reactionary. You might be reacting to your opponent moving to the left, too a jab, etc, etc. not just reacting to getting hit. No other professional sport that I can think of has you 'thinking' about what you are going to do next like in golf.

So, I am going to chime in....
I think golf is a game of skill, patience, and repetition. I wouldn't call it an active sport. It does qualify as a sport. Baseball is a just a game. Barely a sport, same level as golf. Most of baseball is just standing around and waiting. I cannot believe people still watch it. (maybe in the fifties when it was a good way to kill an afternoon). I actually think its a more of a past-time than a sport....but I digress. Golfers are not athletes in the traditional sense. If your pulse isn't high for large portions of the time, then its not an athletic challenge. True athletes are people like Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan, Ray Bourque, Beckham, Federer..... these guys are exerting themselves the entire time. Not to mention having to outhink their opponents. Oh, and as for racecar drivers, their pulses are sky-rocketing the entire time. They have to concentrate for far long periods than golfers....I think they make the cut as athletes. In summary...golfers, skilled past-timers. Baseball, past-timers.

My old man does the Scottish accent great (His grandfather was right off the boat). Me, i might as well be Norwegian. I can neither mimic Scots-speak or much understand it.
LOL, go figure.
