The Tiger effect..

Before the Masters this year, Phil Mickelson explained what Tiger’s success and corresponding fame did to the game:

.

“Look at what he’s doing for the game the last 17 years he’s played as a professional. It’s been incredible. .. I remember when I was an amateur and I won my first tournament in Tucson in 1991, the entire purse was $1 million, first place was $180,000 and Steve [Loy, my agent] and I would sit down and say, ‘I wonder if in my lifetime, probably not in my career, we would have play for a $1 million first-place check.’

“[Now] it’s every week. It’s unbelievable the growth of this game. And Tiger has been the instigator. He’s been the one that’s really propelled and driven the bus because he’s brought increased ratings, increased sponsors, increased interest and we have all benefited, but nobody has benefited more than I have, and we’re all appreciative. That’s why we miss him so much; we all know what he’s meant to the game.”
The numbers bear out Mickelson’s observations. By 2008 purses totaled $292 million, representing an increase of 9.3% per year since Tiger joined the Tour. This difference in the growth in prize money from 3.4% in the years before Tiger joined the Tour to 9.3% in the years after can be called the ‘Tiger Woods effect.” I was curious as to what financial impact the “Tiger effect” had on his peers, so I looked at the data.

The results are astonishing. Tiger effectively more than doubled the prize money for every other golfer, adding billions of dollars to fellow players’ pockets. How can we demonstrate this?

Hated and loved at the same time.

I wonder if he sees that.
 
IMO Tiger isnt back until he plays well on a sunday

ive seen him put a couple decent rounds together over the past few yrs but collapses when it matters

it seems like his back only lasts for 2 or 3 days

so its meh for me until thats happens

If hes healthy then he would be at the top or near the top of the tournaments that he plays in; but to your point he does have to be able to consistently finish and play well on sunday...
