The winners of events in the Olympic Games recevied a wreath of laurel or
olive leaves to wear on their heads. When they received their wreaths, the
winners would shout out their names, their family, and the city where they
lived.
Do you think Tiger would be satisfied with that? No multi-million dollar
contracts back then. Also if you took away Tiger's millions-strong internet
fan-boys what would he have left?

Silly non sequitar observation.
First off, I'm not a big TW fan. Secondly, I am a bit of a history buff.
With that said, you of course realize that Tiger Woods did not form the PGA
or set prizes for the PGA events.
If golf were in fact part of the Ancient Olympiad and Tiger Woods was alive
then, I would imagine he would be satisified with whatever the tournament
prize was.
Now if you want to argue a whole paradigm shift of the role of sports
through various times and civiliazations, you could go somewhere with this
history blurb. But a lot more needs to be looked at (the role of
advertising dollars, the population boom, the corporate model mentality).

For one, he'd be sans Manco, and for TW that's a good thing.
