Well, for years, Tom was (and is still by many) beloved as a legend and more importantly, as a gentleman of the game. However, more recently, there seems to have been some holes poked in that mindset, nothing really hard hitting, just subtle things here and there that, over time, paints a different picture of Tom.
I was listening to a radio show and the host, who is very respected, longtime broadcaster, was not very complimentary of Watson. The broadcaster paints a very different picture of him than what he portrays on the golf course, as somebody who is good natured, and respectful of his opponents.
It's like the old saying, where there's smoke, there's fire, and it just seems that there's a lot out there that proves that he may just be another jerk, though the general public would never see any of that. I am curious though how he is at a live golf tournament. I've never seen him live so I don't know, but perhaps there are some here that will read this and may be able to shed some light on how Watson truly is like, though in the midst of competition, I think all golfers, as competitive as they are, wouldn't take a liking to distractions while they're about to hit a shot/putt.
Either way, it will be interesting to see how much more comes out about Watson as time marches on.
