I agree that Tiger is good, but so are some others. I don't enjoy watching golf when he's there, simply because he's all the announcers can talk about, even when he's playing like crap. Why is it necessary to show every single shot he hits...good, bad, or just mediocre..and then talk it to death? Even when he's not playing or hasn't teed off at broadcast time, then it's reruns of him...nevermind the tournament in progress. I would just like to see them give credit where credit is due when someone else pulls off a really great shot or has a really great tournament outing. The announcers talk as if they just got lucky. Tiger is not the only talented player out there and if there was no such thing as a tournament, Tiger would be just another good weekend golfer.
Golf has been around a lot longer than Tiger and will be around when he's gone. He's a great golfer, yes, but there will be others. Unfortunately, as long as he's playing and all tv can do is focus on him, who's gonna ever know? Unfortunately for him, television really is doing him an injustice.
I have to agree with dolpterry's post.
