Tiger Woods is bad for golf
Shocking new development today in golf, Tiger err Eldrick Woods won yet another tournament and even more shocking, it was the Buick Open! The back nine went down just like every other tournament. The leaders choked throwing up bogeys and double bogeys like they were going out of style while Eldrick either hit for par or birdied. As yet another melt down was occurring, CBS and Buick continuely ran annoying Buick commercials with their big spokesmen Eldrick.
While I was watching yet another uneventful lame boring golf outing with the same predictable ending, two things became clear 1. there is a good chance this tournament is fixed and 2. Tiger Woods is bad for golf.
Does anyone think that Buick isn't offering these no names hacks has-beens and chokers extra incentive to throw the tourny so Eld could rack up another win in 'his tournament'? Well then again maybe Andrew Buckle Brandt Snedeker and Jeff Quinney aren't no namers err actually they are rookies that no one outside of the CBS studio with the rosters in their hands heard of. Each of these three guys in the final round bogeyed more in one hole than Woods has in the past 5 tournaments.
Alright, I don't really think the tournament was fixed but it probably was. Well he is the best golfer ever and needs to have every record doesn't he? Buick needs to look by sponsering the winner of its' tournament don't they?
Number two, Eldrick is bad for golf. There is zero debate that Woods has brought the sport of golf to a generation and even a race that barely knew golf existed. He has single handedly made golf as popular as it is today. However, isn't his same song and dance a bit old? How many golfers can the common every day Joe name three, four? His continuance dominance and apparently sheer presence makes the rest of the players on tour shake in their loose fitting pants and Lacoste polos.
To use a tired phrase, Woods makes the rest of his competition fold like origami. He could be the cause of destroying careers shredding confidence like old bank documents, breaking up families, perpetuating world famine and maybe even Global Warming. Well you get what I'm saying.
His shadow is so big, we can't even see the people caught in the dark. There is no competition no enemy, no good guy bad guy just a bunch of chokers and the same winner. If this dominance persists as it appears it may for the next 5 years + won't the casual fan lose interest and move on to something else (maybe hockey??[haha]). The sport of golf needs another strong talent to balance things out. We all thought we had it in Mickelson but after his meltdown last year its likely his career will never peak. And after watching today, and the complete dismantling of the competition, most of which were rookies, who will ever have the chance to develop enough confidence to eventually challenge Woods, go to toe to toe on a Sunday at Augusta? Because isn't that what we all really want?

"NEW YORK (AP) -- Tiger Woods is in a bit of a slump, and so are the TV ratings for golf's major tournaments. It's no coincidence."

Tiger is necessary for the game of golf... otherwise we would have dudes like Anton Buckle and Wally Snekedkedkedr winning every other week. Tiger has made golf into Tiger vs. All instead of a bunch of people know one cares about. If you want to see different people win all the time watch the european PGA you can see names like: Jose Manuel Lara, Justin Rose, and Ariel Canete. All of these guys have won tournies this year... what do they have in common? No one gives a shit about them.
Conclusion: Golf needs Tiger, just like it needed Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Gary Player...etc.
your post is completely erroneous and your credibility is falling. stick to football where at least you have a clue.
