I now understand what it’s like to root for a blue blood school and hearing about how others complain about the media coverage. I have said it before. I used to be a huge golfer. Kids and family obligations have changed that but still watch. I was 17 years old when Tiger annihilated Augusta. I grew up watching him, and I just find golf much more exciting when he plays. He’s a top 3 all-time golfer. I would never condone his actions, but I can get past his transgressions and be entertained at his play.
I know some disagree, but golf is different without Tiger. I like some of the good young players, but I just find myself not as interested if Tiger isn’t involved, and I love golf. So, I can imagine it’s the same for people who don’t really play.
