I know the "Playoffs" were created as a means to create interest in the Tour after the PGA Championship, but it isn't working at least not for me. Seeing golf pros play for an obscene amount of money while the last of the 4 majors was held about a month ago seems contrived and forced.
Even NBC doesn't seem to care about the event. Saturday's third round tee times were moved up so NBC could televise Notre Dame football. I'd probably show Notre Dame vs Stanford instead if I were them too. The golf equipment manufactures must be pulling there hair out when they announce the move in the time slot effecting the adverts that they would have planned for prime time
When Tiger Woods did not qualify it seemed like the whole golf world turned off. Phil Mickelson has yet another chance to become world number one however thsi will be his 12th attempt and you have to say that the golfing world does not have a stand out number one golfer at the moment as nobody wants to take this role.
I'll see who wins, but I think I'll stick to watching football this weekend. MI'm sure the Ryder Cup will be a more exciting event to watch.
