Originally posted by txoutdoorsman24 View PostThat's true about yesterday but it's about money just as much as everything else on tv. We all got a good dose him yesterday but they did a good job showing Scott, Thomas, and Keopka making some good shots. There wasn't anyone else watching yesterday besides those 3 and Tiger IMO.
They showed every shot that anyone in contention hit yesterday, which was Scott, Koepka, Tiger, and JT until he took himself out of the race by three putting from 8 feet. No one wants to see Rickie and Stewart Cink make pars all afternoon LOL.
Would they have shown Tiger even if he was making pars instead of birdies? Probably, but that's what people want to see.

They show Tiger tee off, walk down the fairway hit is shot walk to the the next one. You might get a shot of another golfer putting or maybe a tee shot but 80% of the time it is all about Tiger. They would follow into the outhouse if they could. I just turn it off and do something else.

Originally posted by tradtiger View PostPretty reasonable thoughts, but I'm not sure you're giving this new Tiger quite enough credit. Aside from spraying the driver, Tiger today hit his irons every bit as surgically as in his prime, and putted virtually as well, also. What we have to realize is that the "young guns" on the current tour grew up emulating Tiger and his game and approach. Essentially, Koepka is a younger version of Tiger, physically. So, no, Tiger may not "dominate" as in the old days, but his game will play just fine with any of these guys, and his mental toughness is showing more and more signs of the old "killer" mode. I think he will do a lot better than play "competitive."

Yes, Tiger gets a lot of on air coverage but I think there is something being overlooked by his detractors as to the "why" he gets it. A lot more everyday people can relate to Tiger's game because he is all over the golf course. He's hitting a lot more shots from where average fans do than say a Jordan Speith or Justin Thomas whose games can seem boring at times to fans who are not necessarily students of the game.
That 64 yesterday, from where he was finding himself off the tee, was exciting to watch and extraordinary at the same time. Under the pressure of a major with a strong group of players at the top of leaderboard and unable to drive worth a ****, he somehow shot 6 under on a Sunday course set up. All PGA tour players play competitive golf. That was championship caliber golf, regardless the final outcome.

Great player. Great for golf. Just read the latest book about him. Terrible person, terrible husband, terrible friend. Uses people then discards them when he feels they are no longer an asset to him. It is estimated that he cheated on his wife with between 100-120 different women. Loser with a capital “L”. That is why I will never cheer for him again.Last edited by Dr. Evil; 08-13-2018, 07:04 PM.
