Heh.
I love golf, and I'm glad (I guess) to see Tiger bringing more fans to our game, but I'm not sure that they are the right kind of fans...I'm beginning to grow mighty weary of "it's all about Tiger" whenever I turn on any round of golf.
It was starting to get better when Eldrick was in the middle of his major drought, but after his Masters' win this year it came back with a vengeance.
I watch golf with my elderly father, who played all of his life. I don't get worked up about who wins- altho I like to see Tiger win because I like his attitude, what he's about and just LOOKING at him. That's one big, beautiful smile!
Does anyone know what they make when they win tournaments like the PGA? Does the money drop off significantly after 1st and second place? Do only the top 5 or 10 make money?
I've always wondered how so many guys play in those things if there's no money in it except for the top finishers.
However, listening to the crude shrieking of the fans seems totally out of place.
