Golf Channel Bias

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 !
