All right…since Tiger announced he would not be playing golf for the rest of the season after winning the U.S.Open, all i have heard is TIGER,TIGER,TIGER. Don’t get me wrong, i know that he is the #1 golfer and all but really…how about spending some time getting to know the other great and talented golfers out on the field! I am not saying that Tiger will not be missed, I too am a fan of the great Tiger Woods but he is out for the season. The majority make it sound like there is no golf if there is no Tiger. What does that say for the rest of the Pro Golfers? They are not good enough to watch? They are not worthy of our time? Get your head out of Tiger world and focus on who the great golfers are that are PLAYING!

For instance, what about The British Open,with its brutal winds and dynamic playing conditions, made for compelling viewing .I was plenty pleased to see Padraig Harrington defend his title. And Greg Norman’s run at the claret jug may have fallen short,but it was still thrilling to watch. And if that weren’t enough, the LPGA Tour was in action, with Michelle Wie doing something stupid. So instead of the world focusing on who is missing, how about focusing on who is playing!
