Golf Ratings Plummet w/ Tiger Woods Injury

Los Angeles Times - The Absent Tiger Factor is here and it's awful to behold. Case 1: Buick Open. The first event of three events so far that Woods would have played but missed because of his knee surgery. The overnight rating on CBS for the fourth round was down 12%, from a 1.7 to a 1.5. Case 2: AT&T National. Worse. The overnight ratings for the fourth round on CBS were down 48%, from a 2.9 to a 1.5. Third-round ratings dipped 35%, from a 2.0 to a 1.3. Case 3: British Open. Not good. The overnight ratings for ABC's final round coverage Sunday fell 14.6%, from a 4.1 to a 3.5.

    Tiger is like a speeding freight train heading towards a vehicle stuck crossing the tracks. Americans know the train will demolish the vehicle, but they watch hoping someone will escape from the vehicle. When there's no train... the nothing 'exciting' to hope for.
