I am both amazed and not amazed how much attention Tiger still draws.

On one hand he's a living legend, easily one of the best to ever play.

On the other, he's had a lot of time out of the spotlight, obviously out of his prime due to many factors, and yet still commands headlines anytime he plays, more so than many of the current's top talent.

Not great. Golf has 4 day tournaments. So this is just one day. But the winner was maybe 15 under after 4 days. I think they went 1 under on the final day.

I think it's mostly exciting because it's Tiger Woods; one of the greatest to ever play the game. And he was in a decent car wreck a year or so ago.

He still commands the largest crowds too. It always a swath of people following him on the course, regardless of how he is playing.

Hands off the clown pipes! Homies right…golf hasn’t found a more interesting dude to talk about in 20 years. He’s been washed up for a decade, yet every article in golf is about his inevitable comeback.

We’re still waiting…

Remember when EA just dropped him from the cover of his own licensed game? That was over 10 years ago. His brand has long since become toxic for anyone who isn’t an old white dude. His advertisers outside of golf dried up. The PGA and Tiger are propping each other up at this point.

Golf can barely get televised anymore, viewership has lived and died with its Tiger obsession…clinging to an aging athlete with laughable PR. The PGA will always be elitist and out of touch, being a fan must be emotionally exhausting…good luck!

Hard to call 14 major championships a “waste of talent.” He did throw it away though, in part. The injuries were just as real as the collapse of his personal life. The last time he returned to that game he won another major. So it’s not like he isn’t capable.

People want to see Tiger return and retire on top. He likely won’t, but no harm in cheering for redemption.

Not that he really needs it.
