Enough with the Tiger, Tiger Tiger!!! Or not.: Editors' Blog: Golf Digest

Enough with the Tiger, Tiger Tiger!!! Or not.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Tim Rosaforte's Voices column in Golf World this week, with details of Tiger Woods' move to Jupiter, and sightings of him and his kids at the local mall, seemed innocent enough and mildly interesting to some of us. Not, however, to this California reader, who has had enough of Tiger until he raises his profile as a golfer. It's a sentiment we hear often, except from the other half of the readership who can't get enough of all things Tiger.

Is it an obsession with this publication to inform us of Tiger Woods every move ?! Westwood, Poulter and Stricker won tournaments last week. The LPGA's season was expanded. Luke Donald and this wife just had an addition to their family. But who gets full page coverage just because he is enjoying his new digs--Tiger Woods! The readership and this reader, in particular, would like to be informed of the events in all of the Golf World and not just Mr. Woods'. How is Mr. Mickelson and his family or David Toms and their, respective, families doing these days?

So which camp are you in? Had enough--or not enough--of Tiger Woods? Judging by a recent quiz we did that included a question about Tiger Masters, most of you think he'll win again there, and hope he does. What's more I suspect his pairing with Tomy Romo at Pebble Beach will draw tons of attention and viewership. Sorry, Doctor.
