Doldrums Without Tiger

photo credit: mandj98   Since Tiger Woods has been absent on the PGA Tour, tournament attendance and television ratings have dropped substantially.  There has never been a time when one man meant so much to the sport.  Everyone agrees that he is the world’s best golfer but should the game itself be in jeopardy without his presence?

The game was much different in the 1960s when Palmer, Nicklaus and Player were the rage.  The PGA Tour was permeated with colorful characters like Tommy Bolt, Lee Trevino, Tony Lema, Julias Boros and the list goes on.  Where has all the charisma gone, where are the jokesters, the story-tellers, the fan please-rs?

Until PGA Tour Players wise up and stop being so boring, the only thing fans will continue to get excited about is Tiger’s machismo fist-pumps!
