No one is forced to play anywhere.

I am still confused by the distinction between sports and poker.

Exactly what is Tiger Woods contributing by being able to play 18 holes of golf better than the next guy?

Tiger woods is watched by a bunch of people, creating entertainment in the process. Nobody watches an online pro in his underwear playing 12 tables at once and derives entertainment from it.
