I understand Tiger = ratings but I just was wondering if this was maybe partly a result of ESPN being involved. I'm not being critical, it just seems like its more pronounced to me. But I could be wrong. I want bang bang coverage. As many shots as they can fit in would be my preference.

I guess my question is, does the person directing the Thursday and Friay broadcasts-the person who says to the announcers in their ears "Let's go to 13 for Paul Casey"- does he or she work for ESPN or CBS?

Also, if the wind blows tomorrow as predicted, Tiger is well within range.
