HEY SHENLEE,
ABSOLUTELY . . .
Had it been any other player, not only would Billy Payne and The Masters organization not speak of it; they probably would have banned anyone in the gallery from ANY public display of disapproval.
The scene (2010 Masters) where Tiger was walking the course after his tee shot, and the photo of the woman and man pointing their "thumbs down" as Tiger walked by would have been enough to get the couple escorted off the grounds (never to be seen again). Instead, they allowed the photographers to get multiple snapshots of the incident, and proudly publish it worldwide.
Inspite of ALL OF THIS . . . the (great) TIGER WOODS STILL ranked fourth (4th) in the end that year.
LOVE YOU TIGER . . .
always have . always will
