The only exception is Augusta during the Masters. Need some weather to blow in and make it a tournament!

Phil Mickelson, Zach Johnson, Tom Lehman, several more. I'm glad to see Andrew Putnam on the leader board because I was his standard bearer at a Web.com tournament a few years ago and have a signed ball from him.

There are some amazing new young pros. Advancements in electronic swing analysis has made for a whole new type of golfer. Arnold Palmer would have "tilted" the computers.

Lowry is a machine today. This links course demands distance and control, and he's been almost perfect, along with good putting.

Ha! The Open is a completely sold out event - no gate tickets available at all. Something like 240,000 people will attend. Many times that number watching on TV.

As an aside, I would never watch NBC anyway unless it was for a sporting even like the Open, so no big deal.

We tend to forget there’s more spectators than just the USA. Soccer and F1 come to mind.

No real golfer I know, single digit to low double digit handicap swoons over Tiger Woods. They are not going to give up the sport should Tiger quit tomorrow.

Any of the top athletes are the “one to watch”. Mainly to see them achieve greatness or fall to pieces, most cases both.
