The reality is that any also or even out of the running big-name player would and does get this type of coverage after they've done something wrong and comes back. Maybe not as long as Tiger is getting it, but they certainly get it. Maybe if the media would let Tiger's private life be private, he might actually be playing better. Who knows?

Personally, I don't care one way or the other. But the reality is that Tiger playing again is big news. Whether he does well or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is that he has made, does make and will make an impact on golf -- he generates more interest in the game and brings in more money for the game. I'm willing to bet there are very few, if any, pro golfers who are not grateful he is back.

As to aj's TW, I hope he does well (I probably won't know since I don't follow golf, sorry -- but I do know who he is).
