What I would like to know is, why are people saying that Tiger's absence is going to be harmful to professional golf? Wouldn't that be a good thing, because now other players will get the attention at the major tournaments that would otherwise have gone to Tiger? I am confused.(yes, again!)
No, not necessarily. People like to follow the stars, and when there's no one big, charismatic name to focus on, golf isn't exactly a draw. How many of the other top golfers could you identify in a photo line-up? Other player will win the money, but it takes that extra step to become a star, and a willingness to face cameras, and speak publicly, and look good while doing so.
