This is a recent Reddit reply on the first-round thread on the golf subreddit:
"... Yes? It is exactly like Michael Jordan. In fact, Tiger's dominance is even more recent and more dominant than Jordan's was. Do you seriously not understand that?"
As of this moment, we are 23 minutes into the ESPN coverage of the first round of the Masters.
Tiger Woods is tied for the lead at -3 with four holes to play today -- and the jordon-jocking, Tiger-jocking corporate nature of sports fandom is CREAMING over this.
Worse yet? So is Augusta National.
Myself and a golf fan friend of mine try to watch this weekend on the official Masters website, Masters.com.
Augusta National appears to have fully thrown weight behind Tiger this year. At least three different occasions now, those of us who go to other streams to avoid Tiger now cannot do so -- in fact, the most egregious (and the one which has probably ended our enjoyment of the entire day today!) was when the Amen Corner stream literally transfixed on one of the scoreboard to watch Tiger's name be put on top of it.
Oh Christ...
