Tiger Woods made the sport popular again. While he was out of the game the ratings went way down. The ratings at the British open this year were the highest viewer ratings in years. Watch the gallery’s, more people watch him the anyone else. I turn it on tv I don’t care about 20th ranked player in the world, its were is tiger!!
Yes and I was his biggest fan back in the day. Still have the SI with him on the cover after he destroyed everyone in that first Master's. I thought "Man, this kid is going to have the Bear beat by 5-10 majors. I think Tiger got 'roided up and it effected his swing and eventually his personal life. He's a shell of the player he was. Then again, it could be that he simply peaked very early and the tank is empty. Idk.
But I stick with yes. Great player, sad story despite the accomplishments
Does that mean everybody below 20 should retire too?
Yeah, I’ll concentrate on the others guys with the second-most wins and second/-most Major wins in Tour history.
Well, it is all about YOU.
He is the Notre Dame of olf. It is what it is, get over it.
He had the lead by himself on the back 9 of the final round of the British Open. It’s a fantastic story to watch one of the top 2 players of all time try and come back and have one more run at glory against an extremely talented group of young players. Couldn’t be pulling for him any harder.
Go dawgs.
he’s definitely winning another major before it’s all said and done.
PLEASE. avoid WWII references!
You exaggerate Tiger's overall affect on the game.
Compare the increase in prize money to other sports, it has followed the prevailing course.
What he HAS done is monopolized the available air out of the proverbial room.
Instead of having 5 or 6 interesting stories divided fairly equally, it's usually about a single player who is no better than a dozen or more other guys.
Patton, MacArthur and myself concur.
ALWAYS.
Maybe they already have retired, we wouldn't have noticed because all the cameras are on Tiger.
It's like a drug.
The interest in other things has diminished, replaced by cravings for Tiger.
