Tiger Needs to Take a Seat in Second...

First, I want to talk Golf in the correct order. The winner of a tournament, then Tiger Woods. There have too many times that Tiger gets the publicity over the top of the actual winner of the tournament. Y.E. Yang has Won the 91st PGA Championship making him the first Asian born player to ever win a Major. It wasn't the news that Tiger was winning that caught National attention. It was Y.E. Yang charging past Tiger in the final round that boosted the tournament to the 2nd best TV rating this year and 105% increase in viewing than last year.


As for Tiger, because I'm not stupid to leave him out of any golf conversation, he lost his bid for his 15th Major and 71st PGA victory over the weekend. Yes, he lost the tournament. If it wasn't for his collapse on the final day not only would Y.E. Yang not have sniffed a victory, the rest of the field wouldn't have either. It was his to lose and he did. He says that he didn't feel a difference in his game, but in Golf you either make the shots or you don't.


Tiger will be alright and I don't think he is losing his edge by any means. It was one tournament, albeit a Major, but that is all. He is still Tiger and he has won 5 times this year out of 13 events (11 top tens). He is still Tiger Woods and if you don't think he won't be fired up next time out you've been in a hole for 13 years.
