Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 5325221, member: 1522"] What exactly has Tiger influenced? He was hugely popular at one time because he was so great at golf and he brought excitement but bringing the game to black America and to the inner city never materialized. As far as fashion and cultural influence he was making about $20 million per year from Nike while Jordan is making over $300 million per year from Nike. I don't see everyone wearing red Nike t-shirts and black slacks. Did he make trying to hold onto what little hair he has left cool? Did he make sleeping with adult film actresses and Perkins waitresses cool? He was dominant at golf for a decade and then his personal life and game fell off a cliff. Golf remains a niche sport, it remains an upper class country club sport, and the "Tiger Woods effect" hasn't materialized. [/QUOTE]
