Tbh  I watched all 4 days and most golfers fist bump the kids or five them. Just an observation 

Tiger is not about the fans.  Tiger is about tiger.  Thats why he was screwing every whore he could find.  His Ex wife had a good reasons to go up side his head with a golf club.  Tiger is simply one of the grossest celebrities in the world, he is up there with Sheen...

I love how ESPN acts like "Tagger" is the only guy on the course.  Nevermind the guy that actually WON - the same guy who's won 2 tournaments in the last month and finished 2nd in a third one.  Let's just talk about Tiger Tiger Tiger.

It's like Lebron.  All that mf'er does is lose when it matters and it's ALL they talk about when it comes to the NBA.  Nevermind the team that's won 3 of the last 4 Finals, or the guy who has 2 consecutive Finals MVP's.  Tiger's performance yesterday was like Lebron in 4th quarters.  A non-competitive loser when it counts most.

I agree.  I couldn't believe how much focus was on Tiger.  

Were you okay with the amount of attention given to Speiths $12 haircut?

How?

Ask yourself what's the better story? Also ask yourself if people are tuning in for Molinari or to see history made with Tiger winning his 15th after barely being able to move a year ago. 

Unlike all the sluts he banged, I'd rather not have Tiger shoved down my throat endlessly.  The better story is the guy who won the damn thing and who is having an absolute incredible July on the links.  Not some washed-up has-been who can never hold it together for an entire weekend.

Good one...

Would you prefer them to show Spieth, who Tiger is having a better year than?

So the lack in Spieth coverage is because he isn't performing well this year, right?  They should follow that same logic with Tiger and cover the people who are better than him. Again, instead of acting like he's the ONLY guy out there.

Tiger is trending better through the season.   He just made Top 50 in the world and qualified for a WGC. Freaking unbelievable accomplishment and he'll only go further up the list.  He makes that putt on 18 and he ties for 2nd in a major.  He is not a has been.  By your logic, we should never, ever talk about Rickie Fowler since he never can put a weekend together in a Major and wins 1 time at most a year.

"Coming back from the dead."   Where do you guys come up with this stuff?  You act like he's the messiah.

OK, I'll grant you he had a good weekend.  And good for him IF he does win something.  It will be a great story if he does.  But he hasn't.  Yet he gets ALL the glory like he has while the real winner goes virtually unnoticed & unrecognized with hardly any praise, despite having the hot hand in the sport right now.

Less than a year ago he had a hard time kicking a soccer ball around with his kids and people were legitimately wondering if he would ever golf again. Yet, here he was yesterday almost winning the British Open. You don't see how this is a story for the ages?

steroids work wonders.

Tiger Woods

You want to know why he gets so much coverage? Because he's in that group.

Amen

That's all fine and dandy, no doubt he's the best (or very least 2nd best) golfer ever.  But when he's 50th or missing the cut, shut the hell up about him and focus on the others.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING..

Tell me who the 1st and 2nd place finisher is, and then I want to read about how Tiger is doing because less than a year into his comeback he finished 1 shot out of second place in a major.  I want to read about how the next tournament went and why he finished 50th if he does.   The top golfer of our time is still playing and playing well.  How could he not be written about?   I could understand if he was just aging and less successful, but we thought he was done a year ago and so it is a huge freakin' story.

Clearly it was because of Francisco Molinari
