Tiger Woods is back in the headlines, but this time it’s not for his swing or a championship win. Instead, it’s for the loyalty of his fans who showed up at the Texas Children’s Houston Open wearing T-shirts featuring his mug shot. With the slogan“#FreeTiger”proudly displayed, these supporters definitely aren’t holding back in their show of solidarity, even as Woods grapples with his recent legal issues.
The golf legend was arrested in Florida for allegedly speeding and hitting a pickup truck. While he apparently wasn’t drunk, he did fail a field sobriety test and refused to take a urine test, which only added to the drama surrounding his latest incident. People love to rally behind celebrities, but this particular form of support certainly raises eyebrows. It’s the kind of loyalty that gives a new meaning to “golf is a game of patience.” What do you think? Is this wild support or misplaced enthusiasm?
