I think millions of new golf fans would disagree with you. Like him or not, Tiger Woods has been the key reason for golf’s popularity. Snead, Nicklaus, Palmer, all had their followings, but nowhere near the numbers that Tiger Woods has.
If you don’t like the media coverage, don’t help the media by watching.
This is what I do. Unless the weather is abysmal, I’ll play rather than watch; in addition, the most compelling character in golf isn’t Woods, unless he starts having personal problems; it’s Daly. Daly, who the official golf world has always hated, isn’t seen much on Sundays but is Must See TV when he contends. Tiger is a winning automaton. Daly is larger than life.
