And soccer is the most watched sport, but the thing is, those billions of Tiger fans? Most of them dont give a shit about golf. They just like him. Its a very wierd situation.

Comparing sport to sport I don't think golf is at the level of soccer. Individually though Tiger is incredibly well known. I would think with as pervasive as the media has become around the world Tiger is probably better known worldwide than Pele was.

Last year, the chinese gov. paid Tiger 9 million to show up at the chinese open on Suday. Show up and smile. Didnt even have to play golf.

hahahahahaha, don't think so
you are living in imaginary land if you think golf can even come close to soccer in china. Hell, ping pong and volleyball are more popular there. Last edited by Trip; 04-08-2010 at 10:33 AM.. |

Golf is absolutely huge in china. Which is why chinese players are dominating the LPGA, and starting to show up big in the PGA. China has grown to be far bigger than rice and pingpong. Golf courses are popping up everywhere, and the country is flooded with counterfeit clubs. And Tiger is more popular than Kobe in China.

I think it'll be interesting to see how he does. Any opinions on the Nike commercial? |

The only people who can afford to play golf and watch it in China are the businessmen. They aren't flooded with them, they are flooded with poor people. Kobe is absolutely bigger. Yao Ming may not be as popular as Kobe. Yes I understand a lot of about modern China, my parents lived there til the 2nd of April this year. |

It was apparently a small group of people that knew what he was doing, and coordinated it for him. Apparently MJ and barkley taught him how to cheat and get away with it.

It was a good commercial. Anything that pisses people off that just really hate Tiger Woods now is alright with me.
