Pretty clear your problem is with Woods, not the attention he draws. Probably be different with you if he wasn’t black...
It’s embarrassing that golf has so many young stars, one of which just won his third major out of the last seven, and all everyone can talk about it Tiger Woods. That’s not good for the game of golf.
He is still a super star and It's just a matter of time before he is truly back to his former self. He is the only golfer you can't count out if he is within striking distance on Sunday. I wouldn't bet against him.
Pretty clear to me you're an idiot disguised as a person.
His last win in a major was 10 years ago.
Jack won a Masters at 46. I won't be surprised if Tiger wins again, but he will never be THE dominant player again.
@tiger_62082 You’r retiring, say it ain’t so ?
Agreed. He’s in some great company since Arnie did it back in 1960/61. Tiger and Jack have done it multiple times. Trevino, Watson and Faldo have done it too.
Hard to believe Player never did it and he had 9 majors. Neither did Seve or Phil.
Surprisingly, the last golfer to do it was Padraig Harrington in 07/08.
His last finish in the top two was a few hours ago.
Jordan Spieth won The Masters and US Open in 2015 and finished 2nd in The PGA that year. It looked like he was the next true great but he has proved he doesn't have the consistency of Jack and Tiger.
At least I don’t spout crap about having to watch some guy I said was washed up only to have him finish 2nd in the PGA Chsmpionsip. Like so many of your “insights” again you’re just wrong Elmo.
Why is he a threat to you?
Tiger still plays golf?
Everyone on this board knows why he gets the attention he gets, especially by ESPN
You dragged race into the conversation, that was idiotic.
He threatened me ....
You have proof of this ?
Some golf fans may be happy when he retires, but it will be terrible for the sport. Viewership for this PGA championship was up 69% from last year, and the difference between this year and last was tiger
Doom was predicted when Jordan retired, and there was an adjustment period because fans had fixated on one player for so long.
Looking at how the NBA has grown since he left though, it has thrived.
Golf will be better off when fans allow themselves to move on and focus on the sport in a broader way. Tiger was very special to watch in his prime because he did amazing things. Now others are just as good, and even better. It's just an attachment at this point.
Actually, @tiger_62082, I wouldn't say no to you retiring from your real job to spend more time being a great recruiting source for us. Unfortunately, we can't pay you.
The last finals Jordan played it the rating was 18.7
after that

The ratings for Jordan's 6 wins were 15.8, 14.2, 17.9, 16.7, 16.8 and 18.7. The two in between his titles were 12.3 and 13.9. The year before his first was 12.3.
Basketball has not recovered from Jordan in terms of fan interest... not in terms of people watching games on TV. The casual fan hasn't come back. We haven't even gotten to the end of the Bird/Magic years when ratings were regularly around 14 to 15 when either team was in the finals.
