Tiger's success poses several difficulties for me that maybe you relate to. (The context for this list is that I struggle to feel charitable toward someone who treated his wife and children the way he did through his serial sexual indiscretions.)
- "Why do good things happen to bad people, like Tiger?" And the flipside of that, "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
- I am amazed at how many people are excited to have him back on the PGA Tour. My challenge here is not that I want others to hate him, it's that they seem more willing to extend grace and forgiveness toward him than I am.
- The previous point raises the question, "Are all these people really demonstrating grace, or are they just saying the sin isn't really that significant?"
- Is it wrong for me as a Christian to cheer for someone to fail? (Think bigger than just the sports field for this one.) What if I just cheer for the other guy to win?
