Until he can consistently be playing meaningful rounds on Sunday, then I will say that he is back.

One tour win =/= winning majors.

About the only time I care about watching golf is a Sunday when Tiger is in contention for a major. So yeah, he matters to golf. He brings in the fringe "fan" who couldn't care less otherwise.

Bingo. When Tiger was at his prime, that was the only time I'd watch golf. Come to think of it, I haven't watched golf since his scandal.

I'm still a big tiger fan, never cared about his personal life. He'll be "back" when he wins another Major though.

In a related story, 10 people yelling "GET IN THE HOLE!!!!!1111" after every god damn shot is really fucking annoying when watching golf. They need to have security on hand so when they hear someone saying GET IN THE HOLE they can immediately escort them off the course and beat them.

Mickelson has had better games with some outstanding finishes. Much more exciting to watch.

BTW, Tiger was out of his prime before the scandal.

But the point is mickleson is not going to get the fringe fan to tune in on sunday at the masters. Tiger is the only one who can do that currently (as far as I know anyway).

While what you say may in fact be true, it doesn't change the fact that non-golfers tune in to Tiger Woods, not Phil Mickelson.

I'd like to see TV ratings for golf pre-scandal and post-scandal

I love how all these rich guys with hot wives cheat on their wives with far less attractive women. Good job, Tiger. He should grow a beard and embrace his new, evil persona.

Well, his wife had a couple of kids...maybe the sex isnt as good as it used to be. Maybe she wasnt great in bed to begin with. Its not like he was having a monogamous affair. It seems purely sex driven. You dont really need a pretty girl for that.

Dr. Ben Sobel: What happened with your wife last night?
Boss Paul Vitti: I wasn't with my wife, I was with my girlfriend.
Dr. Ben Sobel: Are you having marriage problems?
Boss Paul Vitti: No.
Dr. Ben Sobel: Then why do you have a girlfriend?
Boss Paul Vitti: What, are you gonna start moralizing on me?
Dr. Ben Sobel: No, I'm not, I'm just trying to understand, why do you have a girlfriend?
Boss Paul Vitti: I do things with her I can't do with my wife.
Dr. Ben Sobel: Why can't you do them with your wife?
Boss Paul Vitti: Hey, that's the mouth she kisses my kids goodnight with! What are you, crazy?
