However, true golf fans don't even follow Tiger and Phil when they are at the course live. Unless you are inside the ropes, it is just too difficult to follow their group and get consistent in person looks at their swings. I was at the DB and chose to stay on the 9th tee for hours and watch some of the greatest players in the worl tee off 3 feet from where I was standing. While being at a tournament is OK for following the standings, I look at it as a much better opportunity to get up close and personal with the world's best, even if some of them are unknown to the casual fan. Of course, while at home watching on TV, the Tiger and Phil coverage is what I am hoping for.

The only thing that probably hurts their cause is the lack of support that they have received from the players. Other than that they can for sure go ahead and prove all their detractors wrong by telling them that the FedEx Cup has ensured even during post season everyone is talking golf. Now with the tope 3 on the leaderboard, Tiger Woods,Steve Stricker and Phil Mickelson expected to play at the final playoff there are quite a few people rubbing their hands in glee. <BR/><BR/>Whether this can be sustained through the years remains to be seen and the only real factor that wil affect that equation is whether the players start giving this event a lot of weightage.<BR/><BR/>Andy Brown<BR/><BR/><A HREF="" REL="nofollow">http://www.golfswingsecretsrevealed.com</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
