The PGA will get their Tiger coverage in no matter what

We all realize that the PGA coverage takes a hit (read: no one gives a shit) when Tiger Woods isn’t in contention down the stretch of a major tournament.  Despite the networks best efforts to always make it seem like Tiger is “lurking”, he finished in sixth place in this weekend’s US Open and was playing a desperate and ultimately futile game of catch-up from the opening round. 

But, even in the face of disappointment, the editors of PGA.com were determined to make this situation into something befitting a major championship.  A little research about what college football team this Lucas Glover guy follows and boom, you’ve got your headline:

Nothing, not even a nobody winning the tournament can stop them from making Tiger the story.  Just takes a savvy headline writer that’s all.

Side note: Listen closely to the first few seconds of this video and you’ll be happy to know that everyone’s favorite golf fan was most definitely in the house at Bethpage Black

1963 - Mets player Jimmy Piersall hits his 100th career homerun and circles the bases backwards to celebrate in an event that, had it occurred in 2009, would have had its own Sportscenter Special within 24 hours. 

1963 - Scottish golfer Colin Montgomerie is born, thoroughly confusing everyone in the hospital who were trying to figure out how Bill Parcells’ twin brother was born half way across the world.
