His presence will only detract from the real talent of today as some of the media and announcers tend to live in the past and over cover his current play at the expense of those playing much better golf.
I blame those doing the coverage...not Tiger.

You said media and announcers but left our his biggest supporters, his competition. They understand that he changed the game and gave them the opportunity to experience the golf at a different level. The purses they play for, the venues they play on, the physicality they strive for all are traced to Tiger. Love him or hate him, but all those that you feel have more talent all owe what they have today, to Tiger. He will never play as he did before, he will never play as many tournaments as he did before and he will never win as he did before. But when he does he will command the respect of the others on the course and he will attract a fan base that realizes what he brought to the game and will support him.
