Question to the more hardcore golf fans: Is watching golf significantly more fun for you when Tiger is playing well/in contention down the stretch?
I pretty much agree with what the others have said..I've probably watched every major and most other tournaments since the mid 70s..I have NEVER seen anybody come close to what Tiger can do..Is it sickening to watch announcers gush over him? of course, sometimes to the point that you want to vomit. But I will stop what I'm doing to watch him hit every shot
Can't deny the appeal of watching Tiger. Even when he's off, there's something about watching him play. I think he wears his emotions far more than anyone else on tour - that could be part of the appeal. Most of time he's pretty dickish and seems like a spoiled brat on the course. But, up through 2009, he could walk the talk. Seems he's finally back on his game, but the others have elevated there's so much more. Its actually a great time for the sport. There really is no dominant player anymore.
I was really amazed, though, finally seeing him play in person at the USOpen at Bethpage a few years ago. The entourage/snapparazzi he has to endure for every round is unbelievable. No wonder so many players hate being paired up with him.
