When another player has accomplished what Tiger has accomplished, that player will get as much coverage as Tiger. When someone else is on the brink of becoming the greatest player in the history of the sport, the networks will pay just as much attention to him.

When Arnold Palmer was setting all kind of records, he got the most coverage. when Jack Nicklaus was on his way to becoming the game's great player ever, he got more coverage than anyone else.

The media covers Tiger more then the others because more people are interested in knowing about everything he does.

Tiger Woods has done more for the game of golf than possibly any person that has ever lived. An argument can be made that he is the greatest golfer in history. That is why he gets the most coverage.

If John Huh gets to play in the PGA Championship it won't be news. If John Huh wins, it will be a huge story, but it won't change anything.

If Tiger plays and wins, it will be another step to his confirming his status of the greatest ever. It will be another step toward breaking the record for most wins and most majors won. There is no one else in golf who has any chance of doing anything like that.

The closest is Phil Mickelson who, if he wins a US Open would become only the sixth player to have won all four majors. But even that would pale in comparison to what Tiger has accomplished and what he has the capability of possibly accomplishing.

The thing about Tiger is that people who have no interest or a passing interest in golf have an interest in Tiger. He brings a whole new audience to the game.
