The PGA Championship may have catapulted golf to the top of professional sports during this Covid chaos. It was brilliant. Colin Morikawa gave us a final round major we won’t forget.
But what was so fascinating about that round of golf was the other young up-and-coming hot shots that could give Golf new life even beyond the pandemic.
Besides Morikawa, we had Matthew Wolff, Scottie Scheffler, and Xander Schauffele. And to go along with them were the so-called old guys -- DJ, Justin Rose, Brooks Koepka, and crazy fun Bryson De Chambeau.
Yes Tiger was there too -- finishing 44th. Here’s something else that might change too. Maybe sportscasts will stop leading with Tiger’s tourney results first – even when he doesn’t win or contend.
And that could be a big turnaround -- as far as real news judgement in the sports news field. But also for the game. Nothing against Tiger, but we shouldn’t be just relying on him – to just show up -- to make the event something to watch.
