With the Masters Tournament only a couple of weeks away and golf talk is heard very little in the circles anymore, I have to wonder as to how much has the Tiger Woods marriage collapse cost the PGA.

Before Tiger was exposed of his second life, he was ranked number one in the world, winning regularly, and the tv audience was fantastic because there were all of those that wanted him to win and then there were those that wanted him lose. Today the tv audience has disappeared because Tiger is no longer a factor and who else is there to pull for to win or lose.

With the Masters only a couple of weeks away and you hear very little talk about who will win it this year you have to wonder, how much has Tiger hurt the game of golf. I know he has ruined his personal life but what about the PGA.

Are you trying to lure dd in here?  :D

A lot.  There was always something exciting about watching Tiger play, no more.  Now he's just another golfer.  I totally expect a huge come back from him.  Like a second career at some point.  But right now you nailed it.  A down Tiger is a down PGA tour. 

All that said, I cannot wait until the masters.

Which one of you girls borrowed my green jacket?

We'll definitely need a "Live from the Masters" thread.  
I volunteer to go there for the team.  Just send me the tickets.  :P

Yes, it would irresponsible of us not to send a "team" to report from augusta.

BTW, I went in 2007.

Can I take it back? :-[

Great, then you already know the route...

You can send me directions. :P  I don't trust GPS girl to direct me anywhere near Atlanta.

There we go, I ain't nothing but a "team" player. :dance:

Now wait a minute guys, I'm closer to Augusta than anyone. I can save us money and I know where Augusta National is. Whoever has the tickets, PM me and I'll give you my mailing address. :pray:

They've got bass in those ponds at Augusta, right?  Pack the rod.

AN is really a an unusual country club. When you see it on TV, it looks like it would be in the country somewhere, but it's not. It's right in the middle of town.

I'll put my money on you over Rattey.

To answer the OP's question, it may not have cost golf as much as you think.  I know several people that were tired of Tiger's dominance (I was not one of them), and now watch golf because it's much more competitive.  You also have the people that watch now to gloat in Tiger's recent string of losses. 

This such a prime example I am afraid of a man getting rich, fame and glamour and thinks he is above the law. He has to be forgiven but fathered children just like others he won't be there to raise, oh I forgot he will give them bunches of money. I guess the money would replace a Tigers' love of them each and everyday. Why is Golf let down, because they Raised up that great Poster child and find out that money he has, wants women, women and more attention. I am sorry for him, I actually pity him and Golf and I love watching Golf as well as Racing. I hope someday he gets off the Golf Course and gets into life in reality. RTR!

Do any of you think there will ever be another player that can dominate the game as Tiger did and possibly challenge the records of Nicklaus?

Not in my lifetime.

I doubt it but then they may never be another player that gets all this hype and then turns out to be so crude and vulgar. I sure feel sorry for his wife. She was a great trophy wife and then dropped like a rock. JMHO. RTR!

Money and fame, it's taken the best of the best down.  :(

Tiger Woods is the ONE thing I agreed with DD on. Never could stand him and still cant. Hope he loses every tournament he's in  :D
