Golf Channel Bias

Creative Commons License photo credit: linein   I’m tired of the hoopla about Tiger Woods on the Golf Channel?  I’m worn-out watching Tiger re-runs, Tiger interviews, Tiger commercials.  I’ve had it with the commentators on the Golf Channel making excuses for a man they hardly know.  I’m exhausted hearing about Tiger being the “greatest of all time.” 

During the recent PGA Championship, Y.E. Yang, 110th in the world standings, beat Woods.  A Golf Channel commentator stated ”was it that Tiger lost it himself or did Yang actually beat him?”  I had a need to destroy my TV.

Yang used the same psychology against Woods, that Woods uses against his opponents:  Unshakable confidence, along with a calm demeanor which would not allow intimidation by Woods.  In the end, it wasn’t the physical that beat Woods, it was the mental.  I was spared from another Tiger Woods fist pumping demonstration !
