The Tiger generation was one of the best era’s of golf, ever. Tiger Woods won 14 majors, dominated the field and his red shirt on Sunday’s meant game over. While Tiger’s struggles are well documented on and off the golf course, he’s not done. This year showed that the PGA Tour can survive without Tiger Woods being great. It’s been the Jordan Spieth and Jason Day show. Spieth put on a historic performance winning the Masters and added a U.S. Open trophy at Chambers Bay. Day battled vertigo issues at Chambers Bay and still was in contention. At the PGA Championship, the final major of the year, Day took home his first major title. While Spieth’s two major wins would seem like a no brainier for player of the year, Day’s win at the Barclays tournament, the first event of the FedEx Cup playoff, put him right on Spieth’s heels. The two are must see television. Woods still has the attention of golf and sports fans. When he’s playing on the weekend everyone is watching. Woods was flirting with the leaders at the Wyndham and the crowds locally and eyes watching on T.V. were off the charts. Woods still moves the needle but the overall talent in the sport of golf moves on. With football season upon us weekends will be all about the pig skin. But with Spieth and Day, plus multiple big names still alive on the course, I’ll make sure to watch plenty of golf to end the year.
