Tiger is making a comeback, he is not there yet! But alas, Tiger has brought so much interest to the game, for both our youth and beyond, that the current players are benefitting from higher purses, to higher attendance at tournaments. He also has brought more money into your communities from the revenue the cities and businesses are receiving from people just coming to watch him play golf. Actually I would put Phil Mickelson in that group also. Give them guys there due.....Remember they are good for the game....Lets look back at Nickalus, Palmer, and Player back in their prime, they were just as popular with the media.....I repeat they are good for the game. These guys have brought many people into the game as amateurs, who play the game today generating massive amounts of revenue to our cities and states. I am sure there would not be 40 plus golf courses here in the villages today if it weren't for these guys influence, maybe nearly not as many homes and places of entertainment that make the villages a great place to visit and live. I just wanted to say that is how I started , as a child I grew up about 3 miles from where Jack Nickalus grew up and became such a dominant figure in the golf world, and we know today how much children's charities have benefitted from that foundation..... Enough said on my part.
