Maybe some don't swing their clubs at the ground or throw them at a bag or whatever someone thinks might be poor manners but I've seen Jack toss clubs angrily and swear as I've seen with most others. Tiger just has the camera on him most of the time. I don't mind him showing competitive fire because he is human.

Based on your comment, you're obviously not a father with a young son watching him curse. When I am around my son doing anything, I make sure to be a good example.
It's also disrespectful to everyone around you when you curse. You are saying it is alright for Tiger to be disrespectful of the fans and parents and fellow competitors, because he is trying to win a tournament. Where does that end?
He can certainly show anger, but does not need to let the f-bombs go anytime he hears something in his downswing. Young people are very impressionable today from people they look up to and watch on tv. I would hate to see the impressionable fans start imitating his anger.
