well today i watched the tiger woods boxset and i agree james, and on there it explains that when tiger woods is in a telivised game, the ratings sky, when he misses a cut or doesnt play the ratings are not there at all.

It's the same thing with Michelle Wie. Where's the beef? She doesn't win but the media are all over the place showing us every move. And keeps pushing aside deserving players with sponsor exemptions.
It's the same old Golf Industrial/Media complex making us love the best athlete because that's the athlete we see the most.
In the recent past prior to Tiger being back on top last year, the media just didn't know what to do. Would Tiger get his swing back etc etc. In the mean time they had to settle for "sloppy seconds" with V.J. (Who in my opinion is the classiest pro on tour). |
