As I’m watching the AT&T Classic ttoday, the one thought that keeps running through my head is “Who are these guys?” There are a bunch of guys at the top of the leaderboard who have game, but with whom I am totally unfamiliar. And if I—a huge golf fan—am unfamiliar with these guys, then your average tv watcher might well think they’ve turned on a Nationwide Tour event.
It points out a problem, I think, for the Tour: that beyond the top fifteen or twenty players, there’s a hundred guys who have little or no name recognition. In short, from a PR standpoint, the Tour is not doing a very good job. For the long-term health of the Tour, they’ve got to promote someone other than Tiger, Phil, Jim and Vijay. There really shouldn’t be a tournament like this one where, absent the top names, it’s just a bunch of unknowns with sticks.

If they actually believe what they say, then talk more about someone other then Tiger all the time.
