I channel surfed to the Tiger Channel (aka Golf Channel) tonight just in time for Golf Central. The first 15 minutes of the show was devoted to the player in last place. Jordan Speith, the brilliant young golfer whose star has eclipsed Tiger's and who is a remarkable -20 after three rounds? Virtually no interest. I don't know how anyone with any self-respect could work for that network, but that's true of all the corporate sports media outlets.
Gotta admit though the coverage of Tiger was humorous. Apparently his chipping was little better than that of a weekend hacker. The hosts debated whether his problem was mental or physical but could come up with no consensus. Just watching their serious expressions of concern, there should have been a laugh track yucking it up in the background.
