I wont pay any more or less attention than I do every year, although I always watch every year anyway, so it's no different to me. |
The whole point of it is to interest people NOT like you - people who don't care about anything but Tiger, Phil, or the Majors. People who abandon the golf networks (and their sponsers - ding, ding, ding...) after the PGA, and really, after The Open, since the PGA is considered a "ho-hum" event by so many.
Tiger historically quits playing much after the majors. He's playing a lot more this year. The networks are hoping (praying) that viewership, which has been dismal over the last few years, will go up. That's all the Cup is about. Money.
I'm like you, I'll watch golf whenever golf is on TV - I don't care who's playing. But the networks won't show it if enough people don't watch it, so I'm hoping the Cup does what they want it to.
