Stevie can parlay his success with tiger into caddying for the best players in the world for the rest of his life and making more millions of dollars. Why can't that be enough? He could also get some sponsorship deals I'm sure. Haney gets a television show, sponsorships, teaching aids to sell, instructional videos to sell, television appearances, more coaching deals with the best players, and a lot of rich people willing to pay him thousands for hours of coaching time. Seems like a good deal.
In your scenario because Tiger made these guys rich or the tools to be rich they should have to put up and shut up with just about anything then? Comon obviously Tiger crossed lines with these guys as he did with Butch before that. While Haney and Williams may be dicks anyway neither has gone out of their way to spare Tiger, so read into that what you want. Remember Tiger sold out his wife, kids and family. These guys are nothing but next in line. Giving Tiger a pass here is laughable.
Just face it Tiger is the Bjorn Borg of golf with a good twist of ugly. Bjorn was famous for practicing and reading comic books in his hotel room during his career. When pushed, his personality off court could never match his on court persona leaving a lot of fans unfulfilled. The below surface of Tiger has taken this to whole new level with his rather basal personal "habits"and his treatment of those closest to him that rarely if ever paint Tiger in a positive way. In the end it hard for people to reconcile this with the Tiger that had been sold to them prior to '09.
If he had a just shared a bikini model or 2 once in a while none of this would be happening. imo
