You KNOW things are going bad for GM when they bail out on their advertising campaign with the most well known athlete on on the planet, Tiger Woods. With a year to go and $7 million due Eldrick, GM pulled the plug on having Woods as a spokesperson.

Turns out Tiger Woods was in more pain than we realized this weekend. He played the U.S. Open with a stress fracture in his ailing left knee, and will miss the rest of the year for more surgery.

Not only does this point to Tiger’s greatness, but makes you wonder: does Golf have any meaning the rest of the year? Woods is so dominant, as many people tune in hoping to see the giant taken down as they do to root the juggernaut on to victory.

THE QUESTION NOW IS: WILL YOU CONTINUE TO WATCH GOLF THIS YEAR?

“I’ve learned my lesson with the press. Now I’m not going to say anything”
-Tiger Woods, after finishing second in the Masters.

I have to admit, I have a love-hate relationship with golf, (aside from the fact that it’s not really an athletic sport-more like a game of skill, comparable to darts or billiards)especially at Augusta and the Masters. The howls of racism and elitism that plague golf are never louder than in Georgia during the 2nd week in April. After all, the first African American to play at Augusta was Lee Elder, in 1975. The exclusive Augusta club (by invitation only -$250-$300 K to join) didn’t have a black member till 1990.

This week, South African Gary Player was feted by the Lords of Golf. 30 years ago, Player won this third and final green jacket. However, Player was at least for part of his life was pro apartheid-even supporting it in his 1966 book, Grand Slam Golf.
