I actually thought it was a bit better than what it's been. Don't get me wrong, it's still piss-poor, just slightly better than it's been. I think it was probably because the bear trap has come to gain such a reputation that they at least show what some other golfers are doing there.

HE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD THE ASSAULT

Why are we subjected to his medicore (at best) golf?? He's an average tour pro, who can't putt anymore! There's a new crop of young guns coming up and before we know it Eldrick will be on the Champions Tour. We are missing a lot of these guys growing up. Anyway, I could go on and on. You think he would play on the Champions Tour?

If you just show tiger and phil all the damn time, you've done nothing to create your own market for when those guys either suck or don't play at all. You can still show plenty of those guys to draw the people who only watch for them while also showing a lot more guys and building up interest in them. Who in the hell wants to watch them walk from tee to green, or take 5 minutes to read a putt anyway?

I'll make an opposing arguement though, if you were in the PGA's spot wouldn't you put Tiger on?? Ultimately as said as it is to say, this is a business and its all about money. People watch when Tiger is on, whether they are watching to see him succeed or watching to see him fail. Again, I agree with you, just looking at the other side as well.

You may not know it, but you're making my point for me. It's a bad business decision not to invest more time building up interest in other guys so that you attract more viewers to the 30 or so tournaments a year that phil and tiger are non-factors.

I don't think it was Gillis/Rose or anyone for that matter. As long as people want to see Tiger, they will show him. I remember back when Jordan would play, they would show Jordan vs any team over any other good matchup. Rory might be the only other one with good size galleries, but no where near Tiger's. The galleries represent the public and Tiger is still a draw. If people are honest and I am, I admit, when I hear Tiger is playing in a tournament, I make sure I am near a TV to watch and see what he does. Just like Jordan...

I DON'T NEED TO TUNE IN WHEN I AM PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT TIG WILL BE SCOWLING & CURSING HIS WAY AROUND ANOTHER MISERABLE ROUND OF GOLF(FOR HIM OF COURSE). I ALWAYS PREFER TO WATCH THE GUYS PLAYING BEST EACH WEEK, THE LEADERS OF THE EVENT! IT IS FUNNY YOU MENTION JORDAN, BECAUSE I QUIT WATCHING THE PATHETIC NBA BECAUSE OF THE REDICULOUS UNLEVEL PLAYING FIELD THEY ALWAYS CREATED FOR HIM. NO SUCH BIAS IN OFFICIATING THE GREAT GAME OF GOLF, WHICH IS CURRENTLY PROVING UNFORTUNATE FOR MJ'S PROTOGE' TIG!
