Golf has had some dwindling ratings for the last couple of years..Their trying to bring back an audience for the game by showing it in primetime..A good move in my opinion..Especially after what I saw out of Tiger yesterday..

can anyone actually tell me with a straight face that they would tee off this late if woods wasnt in contention?

golf is a daytime sport. it will get good ratings since tiger is in it, regardless of it being primetime

I don't understand the gentleman's point..
the tee times are always set-up accordingly. irrespective if Tiger is in contention or not.:toast:
