Golf TV ratings highest since last year’s US OPEN

Thanks to Tiger Woods for being in contention, and winning at Bay Hill yesterday, television ratings were the highest for golf since last year’s US OPEN.

Like it or not, this guy drives media traffic for TV and the web.

Stay tuned for my next post, highlighting the weakest part of Tiger’s game, which is driving me crazy. And it may not be what you think, based on my last couple of posts.


How good would Tiger be if he could hit a fairway?

After two rounds at Bay Hill, Sean O’Hair is looking very solid at -8 and he’s got a three shot lead over Jason Gore. Tiger sits five shots back.

How good would Tiger Woods be if he could hit a fairway?

Tiger sits in 5th place so far. Not bad for somebody who hit is averaging only 50% fairways hit, tied for 65th place. The other parts of Tiger’s game are so good, he can still contend when his driving accuracy is so bad.

Really smoke and mirrors so far – a.k.a. amazing short game

Tiger’s short game has been amazing so far. That’s the only way he could hit 50% of his greens in regulation and still be in 5th place. YES, 50%. He’s hit 18 out of 36 possible greens so far. Miss that many greens and that’s how you can log only 24 and 25 putts per round respectively.

Long weekend

It is a long weekend ahead for Gore and O’Hair. Tiger is well within range on a course he loves and plays so well. It will be interesting to see how things pan out. I’ll be watching closely.


Tiger driving issues in round one at Bay Hill

The best play Tiger Woods has made today with his driver at Bay Hill so far (through 12), was when he used it to take two club lengths of relief from an electrical box.

Otherwise people in the gallery should be wearing safety equipment.


Next Tiger Woods appearance at Bay Hill next week

Let me take you back to February 15, 2009. Tiger hadn’t played on tour in roughly eight months. I predicted his upcoming schedule exactly:

Accenture Match Play is a good candidate for Tiger’s return…

Doral on March 12 is a strong candidate for Tiger to play, and the Arnold Palmer Inivitational March 26th is a very high probability in my estimation.  Then Tiger would rest before the Masters Tournament on April 9th.

Tiger has now been confirmed for the Arnold Palmer Championship at Bay Hill next week.  And I’d bet the farm and billions of dollars in bailout money he’ll skip the Houston Open, returning for The Masters…
