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.

Well quite obviously you are not in the real world either. Kid in school will hear more than Tiger says on national tv. You may set a good example and that is what you should do but you can't be realistic that the rest of the world will live by your standards. I also don't see you mentioning Phil or any of the others and I see it and hear it with most all the others as well. You can only point out to your child that is not an acceptable word or words and because others say it doesn't mean it is correct for him or they to use it. The only time it bothers me is in movies like scarface when it is repeatedly used and becomes offensive. My kids are also grown and gone from home and I also responded similar to Tiger when I failed at something I knew I was capable of but also gave them the old 'Do as I say, not do as I do" speech.
