Lost Time Is Not Found Again is what the MPS blog crew has been reading today. Maybe.

Quotable:

“Tiger Woods is sponsoring the golf tournament, featuring play by the best players in the world, including Tiger Woods. Analysts and commentators who cover the game are on the payroll of, in essence, Tiger Woods. And yesterday, NBC tailored its coverage to make sure fans knew they wouldn’t miss a shot of … you guessed it … Tiger Woods. The PGA Tour had four months to figure out a marketing strategy for life without Tiger Woods. If the network’s coverage is any indication of their future business model, it’s simply more Tiger Woods. If he’s not playing, just throw up the old Tiger Woods 10 graphics and nobody will know the difference. Heck, maybe video tape Tiger Woods playing Tiger Woods 10 and put that on in between actual golf shots by players who might actually win the tournament. I’m sure Van Pelt or Feherty or McCord — or any host of golf’s finest commentators for that matter — would happily do the call.

In recent years the talk has been growing about the chance of Tiger starting his own tour. By the looks of things in the world of golf right now, he already has one.

And it’s sponsored by Tiger Woods.” – Dan Levy
