That said..it's always easier to say who won't win a Masters. Woods' game hangs on his putting..his fairways and greens hit in reg is probably well below Tour average at this point.. IF..Tiger's putting deserts him (which simply means coming back to the norm) and Garcias putting starts complimenting his tee to green game there could certainly be a longer term role reversal. It's amazing how winning improves ones disposition and love comes from every direction. By the way..spitting at things is very much a soccer tradition..it's practically a skilled practice in Spain.

Good point on how equally unclassy golfing naked would be. That did make me think about it for a second. If I were to play golf naked, which as I suspect is very unlikely, I wouldn't be denying that I did it after someone showed it to me on film. No I have not met Sergio. If he is such a great person I'd love to know about it. I would love to learn how affable he really is. Until then I have to base my opinions on what I've seen so far, which is somebody who blatantly disregarded the players behind him and spit into a golf hole. He then denied doing it, even after being shown his actions on tape. I'm sorry but that doesn't really fly with me. The point of this blog post must not be clear. It is not to slam Sergio as good or bad a guy as he may be. My opinion of him is what it is, until I'm given a reason to think otherwise. The point is that Golfsmith isn't really taking a risk, as I don't give Garcia more and a slim chance of winning the Masters. I thank you for your comment and believe it or not, I appreciate hearing your opinion. I didn’t mention Tiger in this post and I’m not sure what free pass I gave him if you are referring to to me.

I think Tiger's antics with slamming clubs, and dropping "f bombs" (which, incidentally, have been captured on television) and his general surly demeanor are just as "unclassy" as anything Sergio has done. Personally, when I bring my son to a golf tournament to see Tiger play, I don't need him to be witness to the world's greatest golfer losing his temper and yelling curse words. I have met Sergio. Have you? He is a personable, genuine, and affable man who acknowledges his shortcomings. He treats his friends and family with a great deal of respect and blog rants such as yours, based on no personal interaction with the man, only show ignorance and contribute to the anonymous character-smearing of today's internet age. If Sergio wins the Masters, you can bet I will fly to Utah to personally witness your naked adventure (which I feel is equally unclassy) and make sure you live up to your end of the deal that you've posted here.
