While I agree with what you are saying, loving the game and being a fan of certain players are two different things. I love watching Tiger and Phil when they are at their best because they hit amazing shots. I love watching football too but I'm a Denver Broncos fan. Same thing IMO.Although I'm still young enough to be limp's son, this post is exactly how I feel and what I think when I hear comments like "Tiger/Phil/whoever's not playing, no reason to watch". I watched, and loved, all the guys limp mentioned. But more than that, I grew up watching THE GAME. In my opinion, if you're only watching to watch 1 player, you're really not a fan of the game. What difference does it make if it's Joe Superstar or Joe Schmoe coming back from 6 down to win on the back side on Sunday afternoon? Or getting up on Sunday 4 strokes up and then increase that lead to win? It takes the same drive, the same determination to pull it off. And, it's probably a bigger story when Joe Schmoe does it because he's not used to doing it. He stepped up that day, on that course, to be the best. In my opinion, that's a much bigger story than any superstar racking up win #87.
