Woods: {i'm|i am} {playing|enjoying|taking part in} TPC, {a new|a replacement|a brand new} guard has emerged {in the|within the} game of golf. That {much|a lot of|abundant} {is obvious|is clear|is apparent}.
The sun {may|might|could} shine on {some of|a number of} the {old|recent|previous} dog’s putters from time to time {during|throughout} {the coming|the approaching} years, {but|however} {the game|the sport} {now|currently} belongs to the likes of Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and {a large|an outsized|an oversized} and ever growing {group|cluster} of {talented|gifted|proficient} young golfers.
But {while|whereas} the likes of McIlroy and Spieth {may be|could also be|is also} the players to beat on the {golf course|golf links|links|course}, {it is|it's} clear that accomplished veterans {such as|like|like} Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson {are|ar|area unit|square measure} still {the ones|those} running the show {when|once} it {comes to|involves} golf’s audience {and television|and tv} ratings.
The final {round|spherical} {television|tv} ratings for the 2015 Masters {increased|increased |accrued|accumulated|augmented|enhanced|exaggerated|hyperbolic|inflated|exaggerated|magnified|enlarged|raised|inflated|redoubled|multiplied} by {23|twenty three} {percent|%|p.c} from 2014 and reached its highest level since 2011.
At first {glance|look} {this may|this might|this could} {appear|seem} as if players {such as|like|like} Spieth {are|ar|area unit|square measure} {beginning to|starting to|commencing to|setting out to|getting down to} capture {the attention|the eye} of the {american|yank|yankee} {golfing|playing} public.
But if {you take|you're taking|you are taking} {just|simply} {a small|alittle|atiny low} peak {underneath|beneath} the surface of the 2015 Masters {television|tv} ratings {you will|you'll|you may} quickly {realize|understand|notice} that Spieth had {very little|little or no|little} {to do|to try to to|to try and do} with the ratings increase seen {during|throughout} {the final|the ultimate} {round|spherical}.
When Woods was {in the|within the} {mix|combine} throughout the weekend at the 2013 Masters, the third {round|spherical} averaged {8|eight}.5 million viewers {and the|and therefore the|and also the} final {round|spherical} averaged {14|fourteen}.7 million viewers.
During the 2014 Masters, CBS averaged {5|five}.9 million viewers {during|throughout} the third {round|spherical} {and then|then|so|and so} averaged {just|simply} {11|eleven} million viewers on Sunday. This was {the lowest|rock bottom|the bottom|all-time low|very cheap} Masters {television|tv} ratings seen since 1957, which, if {you can|you'll|you'll be able to} believe it, was one year before {arnold palmer|Palmer|Arnold Palmer|Arnold Daniel Palmer|golfer|golf player|linksman} won his {first|1st|initial} {green|inexperienced} jacket.
The funny {thing|factor|issue} is that Spieth was leading the 2014 Masters {during|throughout} {the final|the ultimate} {round|spherical} {just as|even as} he was leading the 2015 Masters {during|throughout} {the final|the ultimate} {round|spherical}, {and some|and a few} would say that the 2014 Masters had {far|way|so much} {greater|bigger|larger} historical significance at stake than the 2015 Masters.
In addition to Spieth {attempting|trying|making an attempt} to become the youngest ever Masters champion in 2014, Fred Couples was {also|additionally|conjointly} in {striking|putting|hanging|placing} distance of the lead and {attempting|trying|making an attempt} to become the oldest ever major champion {while|whereas} fan favorite Rickie Fowler was well {within reach|accessible|reachable|available|handy|obtainable|procurable|within sight|close by|nearby|close} of capturing his {first|1st|initial} career major.
If Spieth were driving {the increase|the rise} in {television|tv} ratings {during|throughout} the 2015 Masters, CBS would have {experienced|experienced |full-fledged|fully fledged|intimate|intimate with|knowledgeable|knowledgeable about|old|older|practiced|practised|seasoned|veteran|old|skilled|tough|toughened} {a similar|an identical|an analogous|the same} boost {during|throughout} the 2014 Masters {when|once} Spieth {held|control|command} a two-stroke lead through six holes of {the final|the ultimate} {round|spherical}.
So what {changed|modified} in 2015?
Well, that’s {simple|straightforward|easy}. Woods and Mickelson {made|created} moves on {saturday|Saturday|Sabbatum|Sat|weekday} {which|that} boosted ratings by {an incredible|a fantastic|an unbelievable|an implausible|an improbable|an out of this world} {48|forty eight} {percent|%|p.c} {when compared|in comparison|compared|when put next} to the third {round|spherical} of the 2014 Masters, and Mickelson was still in {striking|putting|hanging|placing} distance on Sunday.
ESPN’s {thursday|Thursday|Th|weekday} coverage of the 2015 Masters (which featured Woods) attracted its largest audience since 2010, {which|that} {just|simply} happened to be the year Woods {made|created} his {much|a lot of|abundant} {an|Associate in Nursing|AN|associate degree|associate}ticipated {return|come back|come} to golf following an embarrassing sex scandal. {more than|quite|over} {1|one}.2 million {more|additional|a lot of} viewers tuned into ESPN’s {opening|gap} {round|spherical} telecast in {2|two|a pair of}015 {when compared|in comparison|compared|when put next} to 2014 {when|once} Woods {did not|didn't|failed to} attend the event.
So let’s recap.
Woods was {in the|within the} {mix|combine} {during|throughout} the weekend at the 2013 Masters {and television|and tv} ratings spiked.
Woods {did not|didn't|failed to} attend the 2014 Masters and Mickelson {missed|lost|incomprehensible |uncomprehensible} the cut, and despite Spieth holding the lead through six holes {while|whereas} {attempting|trying|making an attempt} to become the youngest player ever to win the event, {television|tv} ratings took {an|Associate in Nursing|AN|associate degree|associate} absolute {nose dive|dive|descent}.
Spieth was {once again|once more|another time|yet again|all over again} leading {during|throughout} the weekend at the 2015 Masters, {only|solely} {this time|this point|now} Woods and Mickelson were {both|each} {in the|within the} {mix|combine} {and the|and therefore the|and also the} {television|tv} ratings spiked.
Do you see a pattern {beginning to|starting to|commencing to|setting out to|getting down to} emerge here?
As {amazing|superb|wonderful} as McIlroy has been over the past {five|5} years, he too has shown {an|Associate in Nursing|AN|associate degree|associate} inability {to really|to actually|to essentially} move the needle {during|throughout} major championships.
McIlroy’s record setting win at the 2011 U.S. Open saw a {26|twenty six} {percent|%|p.c} {drop in|drop by|come by|visit|call in|call} final {round|spherical} {television|tv} ratings from the 2010 U.S. Open {when|once} Graeme McDowell won at {pebble|rock|stone} Beach. {surely|certainly|sure|for sure|for certain|sure enough|sure as shooting} McIlroy would draw {a larger|a bigger} audience than McDowell…oh, but wait, Woods was right {in the|within the} {mix|combine} on Sunday of the 2010 U.S. Open {after|when|once} carding {a third|a 3rd} {round|spherical} score of {66|sixty six}.
ESPN’s final {round|spherical} {television|tv} ratings for McIlroy’s {victory|triumph|ending|conclusion|finish|success} at the 2014 Open Championship {decreased|decreased |reduced|ablated|attenuate|attenuated|faded|weakened|bated|belittled|diminished|small|cut|slashed|diminished|minimized|remittent|shriveled|shrivelled|shrunken|attenuated} by {23|twenty three} {percent|%|p.c} {when compared|in comparison|compared|when put next} to 2013 (down by {3|three}.2 million viewers) and reached its lowest level since ESPN took over the coverage back in {2|two|a pair of}009.
Now {how|however} is that possible?
Well, {in addition|additionally} to Woods {starting|beginning} {the final|the ultimate} {round|spherical} of the 2013 Open Championship in {striking|putting|hanging|placing} distance of the lead, Mickelson staged {an|Associate in Nursing|AN|associate degree|associate} epic comeback to capture his {first|1st|initial} Claret Jug {which|that} {produced|made|created} a ratings bonanza for ESPN.
McIlroy was clearly unable {to move|to maneuver} the needle {in a|during a|in an exceedingly|in a very} manner even remotely resembling what Woods, and {particularly|notably|significantly} Mickelson, were {able to|ready to|able to} accomplish {during|throughout} the 2013 Open Championship.
Just {a few|a couple of|a number of|some|many} weeks {after|when|once} McIlroy’s Open Championship {victory|triumph|ending|conclusion|finish|success}, he won his second consecutive major at the 2014 PGA Championship.
Despite this event {taking place|happening|going down} {just|simply} {three|3} weeks {after|when|once} the Open Championship and {producing|manufacturing} {the exact|the precise} same champion, {the final|the ultimate} {round|spherical} of the 2014 PGA Championship {drew|Drew|John Drew|actor|histrion|player|thespian|role player} its highest {television|tv} ratings since 2009 {when|once} Woods was beat out by Y.E. {yang|principle|rule} on Sunday.
So what changed?
Well, Mickelson {changed|modified}.
Mickelson was {in the|within the} {mix|combine} {down to|right down to|all the way down to} {the final|the ultimate} hole of the 2014 PGA Championship. This was clearly the {difference|distinction} in driving {a huge|an enormous|a large} {television|tv} audience {to this|to the present|to the current} event {when compared|in comparison|compared|when put next} to McIlroy’s previous win {just|simply} {a few|a couple of|a number of|some|many} weeks earlier.
If that {were not|weren't} the case and McIlroy was the {driving force|drive|thrust|propulsion|actuation} {in this|during this} ratings increase, well, then McIlroy’s Open Championship win {just|simply} {a few|a couple of|a number of|some|many} weeks earlier would have {produced|made|created} {far better|much better} {television|tv} ratings.
So let’s {once again|once more|another time|yet again|all over again} recap.
The 2013 Open Championship was a rating bonanza for ESPN {when|once} Woods was {in the|within the} {mix|combine} on Sunday and Mickelson charged up the leaderboard to win the event.
The 2014 Open Championship was then a ratings disaster for ESPN {when|once} McIlroy won {but|however} Woods and Mickelson were {nowhere|obscurity} {in sight|in view|visible |seeable}.
Just {a few|a couple of|a number of|some|many} weeks later {the final|the ultimate} {round|spherical} coverage of the PGA Championship, {which|that} McIlroy {also|additionally|conjointly} won {but|however} Mickelson was in {contention|rivalry|competition}, was up by {36|thirty six} {percent|%|p.c} from 2013 and reached its highest level since 2009, which was, not {coincidentally|coincidently}, {when|once} Woods had his final {round|spherical} battle with {yang|principle|rule}.
It doesn’t take some {kind of|quite|reasonably} mathematical genius or {world war|war|warfare} II Enigma code cracker {to identify|to spot} the ratings trend that {we have|we've|we've got} witnessed over the past {several|many} years.
The young guns {are|ar|area unit|square measure} {certainly|definitely|actually} running the show on the {golf course|golf links|links|course}, {but|however} the {old|recent|previous} dogs {are|ar|area unit|square measure} still {the ones|those} drawing eyeballs to {the game|the sport}.
This may {of course|in fact|after all} {change|amendment|modification} {in the|within the} {coming|returning|coming back} years {when|once} Woods and Mickelson fade {further|additional|more|any} off into the sunset and players {such as|like|like} McIlroy and Spieth {continue to|still} add major championship victories onto their resumes.
But as of {right now|immediately|at once|right away|without delay|straight away}, the performance of Woods and Mickelson {almost|virtually|nearly} {solely|entirely|exclusively|alone|only} dictates the rating levels that any given event {will|can} receive. {this indicates|this means} that despite golf’s best efforts to push {some of|a number of} the game’s younger stars into the spotlight, {the same|an equivalent|a similar|identical|constant} {two|2} players that {have been|are} captaining the ship for the past {two decades|20 years|twenty years} {are|ar|area unit|square measure} still {the ones|those} steering the boat {today|nowadays|these days}.
The question then becomes, what happens {to that|thereto|to it} boat once Woods and Mickelson eventually disappear from the scene completely?
That is {a question|an issue|a matter} {nobody|no one} {really|very|extremely} {knows|is aware of} {the answer|the solution} to at {this time|this point|now}.
But one {thing|factor|issue} is for sure; golf has not {yet|however|nevertheless|nonetheless} reach {the point|the purpose} {where|wherever} it {can|will} {depend on|depend upon|rely upon|rely on} young players {such as|like|like} McIlroy and Spieth to drive {huge|immense|vast|Brobdingnagian|large} audiences to {the game|the sport}.
And that, folks, {could|might|may} {present|gift} {a major|a serious|a significant} {problem|drawback|downside} for {the game|the sport} of golf {in the|within the} {coming|returning|coming back} years.
The sun {may|might|could} shine on {some of|a number of} the {old|recent|previous} dog’s putters from time to time {during|throughout} {the coming|the approaching} years, {but|however} {the game|the sport} {now|currently} belongs to the likes of Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and {a large|an outsized|an oversized} and ever growing {group|cluster} of {talented|gifted|proficient} young golfers.

The final {round|spherical} {television|tv} ratings for the 2015 Masters {increased|increased |accrued|accumulated|augmented|enhanced|exaggerated|hyperbolic|inflated|exaggerated|magnified|enlarged|raised|inflated|redoubled|multiplied} by {23|twenty three} {percent|%|p.c} from 2014 and reached its highest level since 2011.
