For anyone that has checks signed for covering the wonderful world of golf, the decision is unanimous, covering golf without Tiger Woods around is downright brutal.Sure, we've had some great story-lines that have included Greg Norman, Padraig Harrington and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Yikes, my bad.
Anyway, this is exactly why I found it absolutely brilliant, and quite hilarious, that Golf.com has introduced a thing called the Tiger Tracker.
No, it isn't a device like Shia LeBeouf sports in "Disturbia," it's just a simple little scatter chart that has Woods major victories logged against Jack Nicklaus' major wins with the age as the x-axis. Basically, in an almost genius way, it's the only thing you could create that would have people talking about the Tiger major run again without speaking of the knee.
Tiger's 14th major came two years before Nicklaus carded his, so no matter the injury setback, he will still be on pace to take over the record if he can continue his ridiculous record in the big ones.it really is funny that no matter how far Tiger goes from the golf world, he is still right there for us writing folks. If mentioning Erin Andrews can make you click a regular blog story, tossing out Tiger Woods in the headline has people munching on the first two paragraphs without so much as a pallet cleanser.
I'm trying to convince my boss to let us throw out a Baby Tiger Tracker, with the dots as little infants, but he still won't budge.
