Does Anyone Care About Tigerless Tournies?

Hello. I used to watch the LA Open (now called the Northern Trust Open) annually. Having Mike Weir win twice in a row there certainly peeked my interest. I also used to watch the AT&T Pebble Beach annually. Now I don't watch that often, other than to see the views of an area I visited a few times.
Why don't I watch these events regularly anymore? Because Tiger doesn't play them. Period. I find myself not having any interest in non-Tiger events. I don't think I'm the only one.
I got the same way watching the NHL and wondering if Mario Lemieux was playing. If Lemieux was injured, I just didn't care anymore. When he came back from his first retirement, I realized how poor the rest of the NHL was, because he still dominated even though he was past his prime. And when Lemieux retired for good, and the lockout ended, that pretty well ended my NHL viewing.
The same thing has now happened for me in golf. Tiger is so much better, the rest can only challenge him when they have a career week. Even the US Open, the toughest one for Tiger in the past, will not be as hard for him this year at Torrey Pines.
Is this good or bad. I'm not sure, but that's the way it is for me.

Regards,
Steve
