To my eternal shame, I was quick to succumb to media whispers that without Woods’ monumental impact, not only would TV ratings suffer, but there would be a total lack of suspense, fervor, and intrigue for golf fans worldwide.

On Wednesday night, a multitude of T.V. executives and PGA Tour sponsors were in a state of panic. In the morning, the dewy, verdant fairways of TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving, TX would play host to the HP Byron Nelson Championship, but there was an ominous, palpable void plaguing the minds of the big-whigs— none of the top 10 ranked players in the world would be competing this week.

Was anyone actually expecting Ernie Els to play a better round Friday than he did Thursday? Els has carded two, terrific rounds of 68 and 66 at Doral’s beastly Blue Monster course at the WGC-CA Championship, where he is in the lead at 10-under par. Unexpected? Yes. Implausible? No. Els has been one of my golf icons since I could grip a club. He epitomizes the purity and fluidity of the golf...

Video interviews, blogs, and news articles continue to exacerbate the question of where and when Tiger Woods will return. Some say the Tavistock would be best because he will be in his comfort zone with O’Meara around. Others think Woods’ past success at Arnie’s Tournament would suit his return better.
