If I had a few million on the line and a chance to win one of golf's four biggest tournaments, I might slam clubs down too if I had performed as badly as Tiger did. I think there is a big difference between being a sore loser and being pissed off at yourself for sub-par performance. This is par for the course for most pro athletes. As long as he is just slamming clubs down and not throwing them and being dangerous to other people, I say who cares. He should be pissed at himself.
I agree with you somewhat except that I don't see other players behaving like Tiger. I know I never saw Jack Nicklaus doing it in his heyday when he didn't perform well. Plus, he was a class act when he lost.
He handled himself like a champion when he lost the Duel in the Sun to Watson in 1977 at Turnberry. Congratulated him & they walked off the green together as friends. Jack relished the competition & I'm sure inside he was pissed that he lost but he didn't show it.
