The Tour Review has been inundated with emails urging more posts. In an effort to appease the masses, we introduce The Tour Review Frontal Lobe Purge, a monthly outlet of misinformed and random opinions about current PGA Tour issues.
- In the twilight of ABC Sports' coverage of golf it dawned on me that the combination of Paul Azinger, Nick Faldo and Mike Tirico was the best golf announcing team on network television. When ABC ceased broadcasting golf and Faldo jumped to CBS, I thought his move would produce a golf broadcasting All-Star team – Faldo, David Feherty, Gary McCord and Jim Nantz. Unfortunately, like the New York Yankees, All-Star components typically do not combine to make an All-Star team. CBS' problem is there is no ying to Faldo’s yang. On ABC Azinger played the perfect foil to Faldo’s rapier wit; the banter between them was genuine and sometimes tense. CBS may want to add a third host to sit alongside Faldo and Nantz; someone who would engage and battle Faldo. Any candidates?
- PGATOUR.COM was redesigned last year. The Tour Review begs to bring back the old PGATOUR.COM. The revamped web site is poorly designed, bloated and very slow to load. We don’t need flashy animations of the players; we need information to be provided simply and quickly.
- It has been suspected for a long time; now it is confirmed. Ian Poulter is an idiot.
- Fred Couples finished eighth(!) in San Diego. This great article by Jaime Diaz discusses all the major Fred issues: his back, his current divorce and his desire to play.
- The FBR starts today. In past years, the CBS coverage of this event has been little more than a platform to give Amy Mickelson some television face time. CBS, we urge you to focus less attention on Amy and more attention on golf.
The people have spoken and more posts you shall receive. But remember quantity does not necessarily equate to quality.
