I am not a Tiger Woods fan.  Never have been.  This is something that my Dad just can't comprehend.  "How can you not like Tiger?  He's the best!", he'll say.  I whole heartedly agree that Tiger Woods is  maybe the best golfer ever.  The problem for me is that there is just no connection there for me.  I appreciate his skill, his determination and all the talent God has given him, but if I'm going to emotional invest my rooting energies I want something back.  Tiger's too cold for me.  I have the same issues with Michael Jordan and Pete Sampras for that matter.

Me, I'm a Magic Johnson fan, an Andre Agassi and John McEnro fan.  And in golf I root for Phil Mickelson.  Here's one reason why.  I can relate to that guy.
