I know where I was on July 22nd when Tiger took the lead first the first time in over five years in a major championship. Yup, in the golf shop. I would say I was sitting in the golf shop, but that would be a lie. I was pacing, getting in a three point stance (not sure why), and giving everyone high fives in the golf shop. I hadn’t given that many high fives since I took that High Five Improvement class in college. But I digress, so let’s get back to the original topic, Tiger Woods! If you can’t tell, I am a fan, big time! Judging by the ratings, I am not the only one either. This year’s TV ratings for The Open were the best since 2000. Tiger puts butts in the seats, whether it’s at the event or on the couch. People like to watch him play golf, especially when he is in contention. I’m not here to tell you my opinion of Tiger in this post. I’m just here to tell you I’m glad he’s back, because he helps bring a level of excitement to golf that we have not seen since he was last winning majors. Last weekend might be proof that no one tips the scale in his direction for a sport more than Tiger Woods, and I want to be one of the many to tell him, I love you, I mean Welcome Back!
