Who needs Tiger?

I never thought these words would come out of my mouth... "Who needs Tiger"? This past weeks Open Championship,
A.K.A. The British Open, was truly riveting! So many story lines developed that it left all of us forgetting The Greatest Golfer Ever. Who could not be drawn in, with the likes of..........(this is where the music from "The Twilight Zone" rings in your ears)...
David Duval, Jean Van de Velde, and Greg Norman blowing across Southport England? Are you kidding me? I mean... David "Disappearing" Duval? Jean "Rejuvinated" Van de Velde? Greg "The Shark" Norman? All of them exercising past Demons and proving to themselves the talent they have has NEVER left them!
All I could think about, while watching these amazing events unfold, was what was Tiger doing? He probably was sitting home on the couch, sipping some tea, and texting Roger Federer.... "Do you believe what this Old Guy is doing"? I never would have thought that a Major Golf Championship would be this exciting WITHOUT Tiger! Boy, those Executives at ABC must have been doing cartwheels in the Board Room. The gray cloud that evolved when Tiger had his knee operated on, broke apart and abundant sunshine streaked down upon the Brethren!
After all of this unfolded I decided to make 2 drastic changes in my life. I am currently in the process of changing my 2 Boy's names. I'm thinking that Lion and Piranha sound good! After all, we seem to have had a Bear, a Shark, and a Tiger dominate the Golf World over the past 40 years, or so.
