I'm not so sure that another 'Tiger' is going to come along in the next 30 years. I wonder if any of us who watch today will watch when Tiger hangs them up.

The last great champion was Tom Watson and for over a decade we had to deal with mediocrity - Norman, Price, Love, Stewart, et al. Two or three majors or a funny pair of pants defined what we perceived to be championship golf. Now, after what Tiger has done to revive us from the ether, he has also ruined us. I would no more watch the Disney next week than watch paint dry. If Tiger had entered, I would watch every second on TV and probably DVR it. Looking at TV ratings for the past ten years, I am not unique - if Tiger plays, people watch. Tiger does not play, people do not watch. I do not envy people having to make a living in the golf industry for the 6-7 years... Good point about Tiger maybe killing the tour.
