There are lots of other players people want to see. Looks like the media oversaturation will continue. 

Tiger is the player the largest number of people want to see.

Sure, Chez Reavie's parents want to see him play… but tough shit. They're outnumbered a few million to two.

What is Tiger Woods's profession? Answer: he is an entertainer. That's how he makes his living. The entertainment he provides is playing golf, very well. Somehow, society has determined that playing g

I like watching many players, including Tiger.  When the PGA becomes Tiger (or any player) centric, to the point of seemingly complete saturation, it becomes boring to me. 

Honestly there was plenty of coverage... I guess if that's what you want to hang your hat on... Seems lame.

Be honest, love him or hate him, you don't want to watch him? Really? He's an all time great in sports, not golf, sports. I'd rather watch him shoot 74 then say, Zach Johnson, shoot 64. Because he's Tiger, and I have the chance to watch him?. I'm interested.

Personally I just want to watch good golf.  I'd rather watch Zach Johnson play well than Tiger play poorly.

The quote you're referring to about Patrick coming clean, is correct, but it was made by a coach at Georgia, not Augusta St. It was in a kind of he said she said story from a DeadSpin? DeadZone? LOL, can't remember the name, but the story was kinda shady....

“I’m hoping one day he’ll come out and have the honesty to talk about his past. It would really be a great cleansing process for him, but I don’t know if he’ll ever do that. I wish he would, because unfortunately he’s going to get always get questions about his past. Always questions about what happened at Georgia, what happened at Augusta State, what happened with his parents. I wish he would get it off his chest at some point in life, because I think it would help him become a better person.”

I would have sent that in a PM but I'm not allowed so the topic stays on the masters.

If you wanted to see lots of Tiger Woods, I agree.

The players playing "good golf" were on the main CBS coverage, which shows those in contention.

Again, why do you care so much about what happened almost ten years ago? I'm not saying you don't get to… I just don't see the point. Were you perfect as a kid? Has there ever been any definitive proof he cheated?

Tiger is the only one that gets a lot of coverage whether he is leading or in last place. No other golfer gets that luxury.

Your post implies that it's a luxury for Tiger.

OMG. That's gruesome. I remember him from the Big Break. Didn't he come off as a great guy in his interviews this week?

I noticed from the program on the last day, Singh played with a marker. And there's two time gaps, no one teeing off at 11:30 and 1:10. The map is pretty good.

Everybody as much possible .....Tiger didn't do much for the ratings at the end anyways.

They did and if it wasn't for Spieth/fowler push the tournament would have fallen on its face after tiger's round finished.

???

Ratings were up over last year 40% on Thursday, 50% on Friday, and 15% or so on the weekend (when he wasn't in contention).

If Tiger was playing, you ran the network broadcast, and you didn't show him, you wouldn't have a job. That's life in the real world. Like it or not.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By StuM ·

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.
