I'm still gonna watch. I don't need E. Woods in the field. I think I speak for more than some may think .....

Yes. But I think a parallel to this question that I would like to know the answer to is: Did Tiger make the game "more" profitable then any golfer before him (and I just know you guys are packing reams of statistics on TW) AND will there ever be another golfer that can create as big as a profit spike in the game of golf as TW. For this latter question I think the answer is no. Merely because of when he came on the scene. Timing is everything and I think TW's timing was perfect.

Could the PGA be profitable without Tiger Woods?

Well...

Are Canadians from Canada?
Are left-handed people in their right mind?
Do wine connoisseurs have a discriminating palate?
Is prejudice wrong?

Obviously, by now, the point is clear.... yes, yes, yes, yes, and oh, for good measure, yes! <g>

Of course it will be. there are more golfers playing now than ever before. They will not quit playng because Tiger is not around anymore. More people playing equals more people watching and going to events. Golf is on a roll in popularity these days. Now if you had asked if the popularity would decrease ,then that would depend on the current generations passing the game on to their underlings, not on Tiger.

Of course. Especially now with players being non-imtimidated when playing with him and starting to take the mantle from him.

yes it can be profitable without him. Are players making more money now? yes, but that wasn't the question. pga was profitable before him and they will have to be profitable after him since he won't play forever.

Why not?

NO! Golf Fans & NON-Golf Fans,want to see Tiger,Play.the Tiger-Haters,want Tiger out of the way.it's going to be a long time before another Golf Great shows up.

It was before Tiger.

Yes
