    I was just about to post something like this. Well, I was going to ask what Luke Donald has done and how I might have missed it, but the sentiment is the same.

    Are people here still rooting for this guy, rooting against him, or simply don't care about him anymore?

    I loved watching him dominate but now I'm not at all bummed about his downfall. I'm definitely not indifferent as I still follow his news.

    Tiger's deal with EA runs out next year, doesn't it? Have they already announced a new deal beyond 2012?
    I am not a Tiger fan (though I like him more than my wife), but I would like to see him get back in the top 3. At this point, golf is more exciting when Tiger is around.

    I would prefer for him to not break Jack's major record, and I think the chances of him doing it are pretty small right now.

    Agreed. Tiger at the top of his game was unbeatable, but he wasn't at the top of his game until Williams was carrying his bag. This move by Tiger tells me that he undervalues what Williams did for him on the golf course.

    He's also got bad knees.

    I have a theory that alpha males and uber achievers are similar this way. At least that's how I've justified all the things I do.

    I think there is some truth to this.
