Tuesday was good for Masters news, Thurs/Fri Tee Times were announced,defending champion Hideki Matsuyama talked about his menu for tonight's Champions Dinner, a gathering that never gets old, although I'd like to hear some of the more colourful stories, and Tiger finally gave the world's media what they wanted to hear.
"As of right now I'm going to play" shot around the world.
So despite a wet few days predicted Th/Fri the man is about to indulge himself for another shot at Jack's 6.
The "GOODNEWS" world wide media for golf.
The "BADNEWS" this stops being the 2022 Masters Invitational...and that is the problem
Every other player, #1 Scottie Scheffler, #2 Jon Rahm, #3,4,5 Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland and Patrick Cantlay , Cameron Smith , Justin Thomas, DJ, Rory all disappear with all the other 80 storylines, and good ones too,
All that matters, come Thursday at 10.41 is "what about Tiger ?"
Opinion: My hope since this is the MASTERS not the TIGER Show, is that he enjoys 2 healthy rounds, misses the cut, and lets us get on with the Masters..
This is not TMZ, but Tiger's shadow is still so overwhelming that it makes it impossible to have an unbiased, comprehensive coverage, the only way is for him not to be playing.
When the Masters is over, Tiger will likely not re-appear until mid July at the Open in St Andrew's, and all the tournaments with their treasured sponsors will go on with this generation of stars, that's where golf today is,
Ignoring them this week while we watch Tiger's every shot whether it's 84 or 64 is just not right in my books. I want to see Corey, and Mac and Weirsy in action and so many others, and I'm not nearly alone.
