Is it possible for a sports writer to do a story about a gold tournament and not mention Tiger Woods? Really now, he is ranked 33rd in the world and hasn't been a contender in two years so why is it necessary to mention him at all.
Arnold Palmer had Arnies Army and he was a great player but he wasn't mentioned in this article and is mention in very few. No one writes "McClain took a two stroke lead which is good enough for this tournament but might not have been if Arnold Palmer wasn't retired," or some other kind of nosense about a golfer who is not in contention.
Tiger Woods seems to be the focus of every golf story with him being central and golf secondary. I was hoping that since he fell from glory that while he wouldn't be forgotten he would not be thought of nearly as much but he gets mentioned if he plays good, plays bad or doesn't play at all.
It's like watching a two hour made for TV movie with 17 commercial breaks and the same commercial is played over and over again.
One gets might tired of it afyter awhile.
