The important thing is, use language that you feel is good and leave the rest of us alone. We'll each have to work out what is acceptable to each of us. In environments where rules are established, then we'll have to abide by those guidelines, and on the PGA Tour, Tiger isn't violating anyone's rules.
Joe Biden, Barak Obama, John McCain, George W. Bush, and many others in great positions, have been recorded saying just as bad or worse than Tiger. maybe your corporate friends have perfect language, but our past few presidents don't.
Bottom line is, though, you really don't know who IS and who ISN'T a class act. Because we don't really know....I don't really know all about you and vice versa....I choose to respect people for who they are and attempt to see every single person through the eyes of Jesus Christ, and when I look at them through His eyes, things look much different.
Just enjoy the golf and respect the talent. It's much easier.

I don't enjoy the golf (I'm a triathlete) and I don't respect any talent who chooses occupation/hobby over family or is crass. I also do NOT appreciate when "politicians" use crass language either and think they are classless when they do so. That's just who I am. I don't think I'm alone in this though.
This is a forum where we share our opinions and how we feel about things. I'm sharing my opinions and how I feel. Tiger is classless and that is how I feel about it. You can disagree with me and I respect that.
