Your article about Tiger in the April 2010 issue (Mickelson on the cover) was ridiculous. I am cancelling my subscription and will never read or speak of your magazine again. I do not condone what Tiger did,but how can you blame so much on one guy. Bottom line, he is a person who made a huge mistake, but does not deserve your type of unecessary criticism. He may not make it back, but if he does, you and all the others who chose to kick him while he is down, will come running with your greedy hands out. He is golf, he is your boss and he is your world. As Tony Soprano would say, "Golf Digest is DEAD to me".

Recent issues of Golf World have been a pleasure to read with more focus ongolfers other than Tiger Woods. I've never been a real fan of Tiger's because he seemed to be too "me-focused," placing himself on a pedestal above all the other golfers. The same goes for the TV coverage. We are finally able to see other golfers that are a part of the tournaments and not an overdose of Tiger Woods especially when he is not in the mix of the final outcome. I certainly hope you keep the mix of coverage as it has been in Tiger's absents after his return to tournament play.

It has been pure joy to watch golf these last few months on television without Tiger Woods on the scene! I didn't know that there so many "other" golfers playing the game. I'm sure if he comes back to play the Masters, he will be the only one we see, and we will have to listen to the announcers talk about how good it is to have him back.

Am I the only golf fan who is not enthralled at the prospect of Tiger's return to golf? Because what it will mean for TV coverage will be cameras focusing on Tiger getting out of his car, walking to the range, waiting on the tee, striding down the fairway, pacing around sizing up putts, chatting to Stevie, even scratching his ear, instead of tracking a hundred other excellent professionals who will at that moment be executing shots. I mean golf shots, equally worthy of the true fan's attention.

I get it, Percy, but there is one corner of our world where Tiger Woods really is the world: television. And the executives at ESPN and CBS Sports, who will be presenting the Masters, are licking their chops today. Sean McManus at CBS said that this may be the biggest television event since the Obama inauguration. Remember, when everyone was so hopeful?
I think our writers and editors, no matter where they stand on Tiger's dalliances, are also excited about his return.
