I really don't mind Tiger cherry-picking tournaments to potentially cement his legacy with - or "pad his historic stats" - however you want to look at it.
Doesn't bother me, and I don't mind a WD when it's not working.

He's a living legend of the game with precious few years left to be remotely competitive in such tournaments.
Let him give it a go when his conditioning and injury recovery are in a good place.
It's good for the game and if he ever gets to the point of really contending again it would be one heckuva story.
There aren't many in the PGA universe that don't want him out there. The majority of the players and organizers want him around.

I kinda' doubt it's gonna happen for him though. Between the screws in his leg and the fusion of his spine he's got a lot stacked against him. I still enjoy following his rounds occasionally while he tries.
