I have often been angry with media and golf broadcasters for thier favoritism of Tiger in coverage, and sometimes for Phil. When Phil or Tiger is playing poorly, we like to see them occasionally, but if they are not in contention, or others are havinga trmendous day, let's see them. I enjoy golf period, and am not like those new temporary fans who only watch when Tiger plays. I think we can enjoy all the tournaments. Earlier his year, there was a tournament with a bunch of no or seldom named players at the top. Several were playing for thier first win, and blew shots because of the pressure to get that win (not Tiger pressure). others made great shots. It was just as enjoyable as watching Tiger and Phil, except we were unfamiliar with these players. Let's root for them all, but just cheer louoder for our favorites. And media, let's hear more stories of the up and comers, the young and middle aged who are playing great golf. I agree completely.
