Right now he is good for the game and for those that really study golf, and appreciate skills, they will continue to follow.
All of which can be said by watching the new crop of young champions that perform week after week....

Me I prefer to watch the Fowler, Speith, McCrory, Day, Mickelson to name a few that need no justification other than how they play golf.....as proven by how they play golf. They all in one way or another present the persona of the Palmer/Nicholas generation of champions.

Woods, in my opinion, does not have that persona.

To each his own in each minds eye!!!
