The Tiger has landed. With his arrival in Augusta Georgia, the week of the Masters, the week of the Tiger, has officially begun. Generally heading into the first major championship of the year, the question everyone asks is who will win, Tiger or the field? This year is unique because of the upheaval of his personal life while competing in a sport that requires very detailed mental concentration. Will he be thinking of the whispers in the gallery, or will he be focusing on his shot mechanics? Will Tiger lose that which makes him Tiger, or does his talent extend beyond the trials and tribulations of lesser mortals?
What will be for certain is that the 2010 Masters will be the most watched golf tournament in the history of golf. This story in today's "new media" with the advent of globalized instant communication will reach a larger audience on planet Earth than has ever been imagined by golf fanatics. Considering my favourite golfers are Phil Mickelson and Mike Weir, I will be cheering for Tiger to fail, as I always do. I am not going to suddenly start cheering for him because we found out that he liked getting laid.

My biggest complaint with Tiger is that the networks show him drinking water, walking down the fairway, scratching his arse, whatever... while other talented golfers in the running are completely ignored.
ReplyDeleteAnd this year might be even worse. It'll be "All Tiger all the time", just in case his pecker falls out of trousers, I guess.
hopefully Tiger will now be more respectful on the course ... no more swearing like a drunken sailor and intimidating his opponents with over the top fist pumping and screaming after making puts
ReplyDeleteFor a while there,CNN was the Tiger Woods network, "All Tiger all the time",breathlessly reporting every F***ing thing Woods said,did,or thought,like the fate of the world depended on it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sick of the teenybopper mentality of the alleged "News" networks, sometimes I wish Tiger would retreat to an uncharted desert isle, like Gilligan, and never be seen or heard from again.
Of course then we'd have to endure "Tiger" sightings more often than Elvis sightings.
