then it was awe
then it was hate
then it was laughter
now it's pity and sadness
RIP - Golf game of Eldrick Woods (1975-2015)
I'm curious to know who the believers are, and what they cling to at this stage. Sure, he's dominated 7-8 courses and compiled (I'm guessing) 40% of his wins there (Doral, Torrey, Firestone, Augusta, Bay Hill, Muirfield, and a couple others). But he's also embarrassed himself of late at the same courses (82 at Torrey, 85 at Muirfield, cheating at Augusta). When he sees a course for the first time, he's "replacement level". The last time he's won on a course he didn't have a "history" with was the Match Play in 2008. He's won TWICE in the Northeast in 20 years. 2 times. 7 full years without a major and we still have to watch the train wreck every time a telecast airs. And people complain about ESPN and other media hyping Lebron! Where else can someone be such a non-factor for 7 years and still be the lead attraction?
He has mentally checked out. Now it's time for media and the tv partners to do as well, and focus and the bright spots out there, the Spieths and McIlroys of the game.
