Since Tiger Woods broke onto the professional golf scene in 1996, he’s gained millions of fans for his impressive plays. At the same time, however, he’s also picked up a great deal of detractors along the way. Why? Well, up until the news of his widespread extramarital activities broke, it was hard to say. Sure, any married man cheating on his wife deserves our criticism, but there’s still little doubt that Woods will retire as the best golfer to ever play the game. Dislike what he's done off the course as much as you like, but if you're a fan of golf, or even just a fan of sport in general, there are still plenty of reasons to love Tiger Woods. Here are 10 of those reasons, while Dave Golokhov’s piece will examine the flip side: Top 10: Reasons To Hate Tiger Woods.



So, even if you're on that flip side (and we're guessing a lot of ladies might be), it's time to check out the top 10 reasons to love Tiger Woods (come on, you know you want to).
 
 
 
 

 
No.10 - Tiger Woods has natural talent


There’s no question that Tiger Woods was born with a knack for playing golf. It’s his natural talent, and it’s enjoyable to watch someone who’s naturally good at what he does. Woods is said to have started copying his father’s golf swing at just 6 months of age, and by 2 he appeared on The Mike Douglas Show to show off his swing. At 3 he shot a 48 over nine holes at a course in California; and by 5 Woods was featured in Golf Digest. Though Woods’ work ethic is a big factor in getting him where he is today, in the early years his natural talent helped elevate him to success and fame.
