“I am sick of watching golf when the announcers gush 95% of the time about Tiger, especially when he’s at the top of the leader board. It’s sickening!”
It is NOT sickening. It simply is what it is. Tiger is one of the great closers in any sport. When he gets the lead, he rarely gives it up. And the gushing over Tiger is less than the gushing over Mariano Rivera (closer for the Yankees) in his prime. When Rivera came in the game with a lead, the game was over.
I don’t see it as “gushing”. They do have elevated expectations, but that’s no favor! If he doesn’t win, he’s a flop! What about Rory? He was supposed to eclipse Tiger. He played today, you know.
