After that first pull-hook, it seems like he's been doing well enough. Not making birdies, missed more fairways and greens, but still making pars.

Agreed. They shouldn't even have shown any of his shots.

I went to a random range on the way home from a trip and all they were talking about was tiger. I would say then the tv is covering what most want to hear about.

I realize that he's still the number one player in the world and he's great for the ratings, but it does seem a little unfair though to all of the players ahead of him who are obviously playing better and not getting any TV time.

Great sentiment, but completely untrue. Virtually everyone ahead of him got TV coverage, and the leaders get covered as much as they do in any tournament. Why do they show Tiger when he's out of contention, between showing shots of the leaders? Because he's won 70+ times including 14 majors.

No........ not surprised. Just bored with everyone drooling over the "mesiah"

And I'm bored with people making comments about how they're tired of seeing him on TV. He was a small part of the coverage - a very small part - and enough people want to see him that the networks show him. End of story.

Fast forward if you don't want to see him. If you're watching live, then trust me, it ain't the Tiger coverage that's boring you.

Why drool all over Tiger for a large part of the coverage when he is not within sniffing distance of the lead? I thought everyone liked seeing good golf. Is it a "man crush" thing........ or do people like watching train wrecks?

The number of commercials are mind numbing, especially towards the last hour, when there are fewer players to cover.

Looking at the forum subjects and no one is talking about the US Amateur. I was switching between both and found myself watching the US Amateur more.

a) He wasn't a "large part" of the coverage by any stretch of the definition.

b) He's the world's best and has won 70+ and 14 majors. It's that simple. Never mind the below reason...
I thought everyone liked seeing

He shot -3 in about five holes while being covered by CBS. Pretty good golf, no?

Apart from DJ, there's no one particularly exciting in contention anyway, so who cares if they show lots of Tiger, as long as the leaders get coverage too.
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

    • Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?
    • https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
