Because tiger is the poster boy to force racial conciousness down america's throat. It all began when he was 3 or 4 y.o. whe he was on a Bob Hope special. Granted he is a talented athlete, but he is not the ONLY golfer on the planet !!!!!! We hear as mush or more about him when he is not playing or when he is not playing well the commentators make excuses for him ! Just count how many times Johnny Miller mentions TIGER during the US Open telecasts this weekend (Johnny, he is sitting at home or on his multi-million dollar yacht. It doesn't matter what he would have done ! TIGER isn't there !!!). I'm sorry his father died a few weeks back, but we all lose parents and people who are important to us. If he plays every tournament for a year and wins 12 or more in a row, then he might be as great as Lord Byron Nelson (who won 11 in a row one year in the 1940's, w/o a break, driving to the next tourney hundreds of miles away, sleeping in his car when he got there and then having to qualify on Mondays most of the time.) or overcome the adversity that the GREAT Ben Hogan did after his nearly FATAL car accident driving from obe tourney venue to the next. TIGER has NEVER known adversity, He is INVITED to every tourney he plays in and paid an APPEARANCE FEE for just SHOWING UP. He flies or takes a yacht to the next tourney and stays in the finest hotels. Earl (an the almighty media) didn't acknowledge the other children because they weren't a meal ticket for him. TIGER doesn't acknowledge the other children because Earl was his role model, mentor and a "great" man (according to the media), LOL. Earl's other children will also feel a void this father's day ' as will many of us. They are no less important than TIGER, even if their bank accounts hover in three figures or below !!!!!

Tiger has 2 step-brothers and a step-sister from his father's first marriage. They're never mentioned because Earl had very little contact with them after he & Barbara were divorced, so most likely, Tiger doesn't really know them. So there would really be no need for him to go around talking about them or mentioning them in interviews.

They probably don't play golf on a professional level
