This morning, while watching Mike and Mike in the morning, ESPN broke into what they called a “2010 Players Championship update”.  However, there was nothing discussed other than Tiger Woods’ scorecard.

Their “update” started and stopped there.

According to ESPN, all the viewer needs to know about the game of golf is how many birdies and bogeys one golfer out of the entire field made.  ESPN anchor Reischea Candidate failed to even mention who was currently in first, second or third place after round one.

Both today and yesterday, ESPN.com provided a link on their main website entitled “TCP in progress” and then provided another link where you could get updates from the course from ESPN reporter Jason Sobel.

The web page was titled “Jason Sobel’s Live Analysis From Round 1 of the Players Championship” however, the only updates Sobel provided was a stream of updates about Tiger Woods.

Where was the coverage on the actual tournament?

Sobel’s updates Friday were no better.  Sobel stated,

“I don't know if nervous is the right word, but [Woods] aimed a lot farther right than yesterday.” 

This followed his previous update which stated,

“Looking across the pond, it looks like a back-middle pin placement for today's round. Almost no wind right now, so it will be a good time for [Woods] to play the hole as soon as he finishes up here on 16.”

This is obviously not analysis of the entire tournament.  This is one man following Tiger Woods everywhere he goes and telling us about it.  Regrettably, these were two of the better posts Sobel has made in two days.

ESPN seems to be paying someone with the world’s largest man crush on Tiger Woods to post comments that are less informative than John Mayer’s twitter updates. ...
