Headline reads "Stenson holds off Woods to win in Dubai." How about Ernie Els who finished second? How about giving the winner his due instead of giving the story place to the third, yes I said third, place finisher. I get so tired of Tiger mania!

It really isnt amazing, in general the public embraces tiger because he is a champion in our time, he will top jacks record of major titles and if he decides to play long enough he'll pass sams record of total wins...the bad thing is that the ratings plummet when hes not in a televised tournament therefore making the sponsors comercial spots less valuable, the fed ex format is supposed to change that but if tiger plays in more tournaments, there is a possibility he will win more making less wins(read:$) available to fringe players...it is primarily because of tigers career and and mixed ethnic background that golf is now more popular than ever worldwide creating more financial opportunities for all professional golfers...I saw recently where arnold palmer shared what he took in for a tournament years ago and compared it with the about 20 players that made over a million dollars last year on tour here...arnold made what is essentially a lunch tip today, pretty amazing...

If you don't like Tigermania, well, nothing you can really do about it, Tiger is just really famous right now. Ernie will be mentioned more often if his plan to take over #1 from Tiger works.(the lead Tiger has in the world rankings is huge)
It's just that right now, Tiger is hard to beat, and he has done extremely well in stroke play events since the British Open last July.

dont be bitter because golf is for girls to begin with so they shouldn't even be covering this sissy sport to begin with.
