Why show his shots from 2009 instead of the top competitors in the current tournament? I don't care which player gets undue coverage. I was watching golf when the other greats were playing and every shot they made was not fawned over like they do Tiger when he is in ANY tournament, and sometimes when he isn't even play or fails to make the cut. To me, it is a disservice to all, including Tiger.

I understand what you are saying and I agree. I also think that how people FEEL about Tiger Woods may have a lot to do with gender. My husband is more willing to give him another chance. I just have never liked his "ups and downs" and angry faces and bad language. That isn't the golf I know or like from amateurs OR professionals. Golfers have always been to me, a cut above other athletes in their behavior. Golfers to me are supposed to act like ladies and gentlemen.
I know this; What the camera focuses on has a lot to do with the producers of the piece and WHAT THEY
THINK INTERESTS PEOPLE. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't.
