I was terribly confused and amused for a second there.

Tiger Woods is like the Paris Hilton of sports. He's famous because he's famous, but nobody really knows anything about him as an athlete except "hits ball in less strokes than the other guy." I'm still confused how golf brings in enough money to pay its athletes like that. Money comes from endorsements and advertisements, right? Who the hell watches golf? I don't know a single person who doesn't flip right past golf on lazy Sunday afternoons. Not even an old person. Or any of the old people I know who play golf. Complete mystery!
