"I'd rather watch a JV spring football game than The Masters." -- I believe this is one of our own with this freezing cold take.

Now, all the fans get to embrace the redemptive Tiger. These crazy, hysterical crowds clearly indicate that everyone loves a second chance at greatness. Where he was popular before, it has gone to even greater heights.

These 20 and 30 somethings will be less enthusiastic when he keeps taking their lunch money. That stare that Molinari was getting in the final round will be more what Speith and Thomas will experience as time goes on. Is he more approachable? Yes. Will that change his demeanor when he's in red and competing? No.

I agree with all of that. I personally think the younger guys need a guy like Tiger to come take their lunch money as you put it because this whole "I love you bro" crap to me is what makes the sport not so much fun to watch, because I want old Phil vs. Tiger type rivalries. Have fun of course, but turn that off when on the course. I can't stand Patrick Reid, but he's the only guy out there that brings out the competitive nature in a lot of guys. Him and those ass whoopings in the Ryder Cup that piss our guys off until the news conferences are over and then they end up in the Bahamas having fun again.
