One of the most controversial posts in the short history of this site involved Tiger Woods and his lack of presence in the black community. I held the stance that although Tiger was under no obligation to help anybody, he should take a more hands on approach in less fortunate areas.

Yes, I’m fully aware of the Tiger Woods foundation, but it’s always seemed like something he threw money at, did photo ops, and politely went about his day not giving a damn. There’s a difference lending your name and cash to something, and REALLY getting out there with your hands in the dirt.

Anyways…. ESPN’s “Outside The Lines” did a segment how there are no black golfers on the PGA Tour and if Tiger Woods was under any responsibility to help black golfers make it. They also interviewed two black golfers who are trying to make it, and asked them what they thought of Tiger’s refusal to get involved.

Tiger Woods will always be able to skirt the issue and mention that he gives money to poor people through his foundation, which is far less invasive than taking a young black golfer under his wing and really making a difference in the sport.

So, we all know Tiger doesn’t HAVE to do anything….. but do you think he should?
