For the guys that love to play or watch golf

[REDEYE]

I said earlier this week that the TV ratings are going to suffer without Tiger. ESPN's ratings have dropped significantly without him. I love to watch golf no matter who is playing. But golf purists have to admit that the game just isn't the same without Tiger. It is a sport that relies more on one individual than any other sport. If Nicklaus or Palmer were playing today, it would be the same if they weren't playing. The proof is in the pudding. ESPN's ratings are down nearly a million viewers. That is a lot for a golf telecast. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/04/espn-masters-ratings-tiger-woods/

kinda doubt the Masters will ever get cancelled so who cares what the ratings are or if Tiger is playing...

It obviously doesn't affect the guys like you or me. But it does go to show you how many fair weather frontrunner fans there are out there since Tiger is absent.

Completely untrue. The Masters is its own event, and they pick the sponsors. There are no advertisers, just sponsors picked by The Masters. Ratings mean nothing to this event.

Trouble is, when it's not Tiger it's Phil. And he got WAY too much coverage for a golfer who was pretty much out of it from the get go. And not nearly enough coverage on Bubba Watson, who has a more recent Masters win than Tits.

Happy for bubba!

True golf fans don't even notice… the casual fan who only watches majors may have an issue

^^^this..Didn't think of Tiger once all four days while watching..The Masters can survive without him..it's better with Tiger in it.wait-I did think of Tiger once-when Speith slammed his club down a couple of times, I thought-Tiger would have dropped a couple of F bombs for the audience as well
