Golf is suffering from the demise of Tiger. Just like the NBA during the Jordan years, the entire sport of golf leaned almost entirely on Tiger. Once MJ left the NBA had a hole that took yrs to fill and popularity dropped dramatically. Kids today arent driven to golf by the golfers on tour today. There are alot of great players, but none of them have "IT" like Tiger did in his prime. I'm sure price has alot to do with it as well, but not having anyone to market the game to the younger generation is causing the game to be passed by by that gen
