More Tiger, fewer pundits

Thank goodness Tiger Woods played well at the Chevron this past week. If he had simply been in the middle of the pack, the pundits would have nothing to write about. Now, they can unanimously declare “He’s Back!”

Let me be clear. I’m a Tiger fan, stand in awe of his achievements and am ready for his return to the leader board. However, I’m not a fan of all Tiger, all the time reporting by the hordes of golf reporters.

I certainly do not pay any attention to their views on just where Tiger’s swing, focus and competitiveness stand. If you’re a golf fan, you’ll know exactly where he stands. One hack went so far as to predict a major and three additional championships in 2011 for Tiger. He stumbled through a justification and then went to collect his paycheck.

Graeme McDowell won the Chevron coming from four strokes back. That was quite an accomplishment. In fact it was quite a year for McDowell with a major and clinch of the Ryder Cup for Europe. His story did get some coverage buried in the “Tiger articles.”

I’m ready for more Tiger on the tournament leader boards. I can do without the scores of golf contributors offering their views.
