He is supposedly a real tightwad, horrible tipper, standoffish, not too friendly with many players on tour and is becoming more and more isolated. He lives in a bubble, similar to Michael Jackson.
When he went on his Whore Tour and killed his marriage to Erin, he lost Jasper Parnevik and his wife along with a lot of married golfers. Their wives all hate Tiger.
I don't think he has a strong relationship with his Mom just his kids.
Dude had it all at one point and now except for the money, not sure what the guy has left. :-) [Reply]

It was absolutely jarring, and also scary as hell. I made that drive again some years later but was prepared for it that time - I think that time was it was June, and it was still horrible winter conditions. Does that place ever have nice weather? Shit.
Yep. In the winter, once you get up to the Ike Tunnel you are up in the shit. And of course, good ol’ vail pass :-) [Reply]

I think he has some relationships and he is a good father as far as I can see... I don’t think he’s as bad as you’re making him out to be... [Reply]

These are known facts. All the pro athletes have made fun of his no tipping and cheapness. I think Jordan is the same way.
I think he is probably a good father but he did risk his marriage being a man-whore so does that make him a poor Dad to his kids? They certainly get impacted by what happens.
I think the guy is just on an island.....:-) [Reply]

Heh. That's not uncommon. A front will get stuck on one side, usually the western side. You go in one side and it can be anything on the other side, and you just blow out of the tunnel into whatever it is with no warning. They've actually had to close the highway on July 4th due to snow. [Reply]

They really should put up warning signs in the westbound lane of the tunnel. Something like "The weather on the other side is going to suck ass. Brace yourself."
Oh, and back to the cheap ass non-tippers. Yes, apparently Jordan is horrible as well. At least according to Charles Barkley.

I just don't speed anymore, ever.

If I remember correctly one of the girls he "dated" said he was super stingy and would get pissed if whatever restaurant they were eating at didn't comp his meal. [Reply]
