Just watched Tom Watson finish his Open Championship career out on 18 and it about brought tears to my eyes. What a fantastic professional in every aspect of the game and a legend to American golf.

The cut is at even par right about now, but play had to be suspended today due to weather so not everybody was able to finish their second round today.​

Dustin Johnson is a lot of fun to watch, and as much as I'd like to see him breakthrough and win a major after a few close calls (chokes), I'm pulling hard for Spieth. I really want to see him go into the PGA with the opportunity to pull off the Grand Slam in a single season.

Spieth pulling off the slam at age 21 would be insane.

Still can't believe how bad Tiger is now. Hid head is such a mess

This weather delay blows. This thing may be going into Monday, if that happens I'll miss the ending.

I see golf as a sport that takes a huge hit in interest in the next 20 years. If it was not for Tiger the sport would already be in trouble.

Tiger hasn't really been relevant in a few years, and we're just now getting the generation of professional golfers that grew up watching him. The entire industry is booming right now with all these 20-something golfers entering the scene.

I think there are a ton of people playing the sport in the suburbs from wealthy families. I just don't think the next generation of sports fans is going to want to sit down and watch 4 hours of golf on a Saturday . Tbd

The next generation is already hooked on the game. Golf is going to be just fine for the foreseeable future.

Not talking about playing. Talking about the casual sports fan you need to get big ratings in the future. Numbers have been stagnant since tiger fell off.

Spieth has a chance to bring this sport back. He is insanely good at 21.

Golf loses fans when there is parity, but when there is someone dominant, people will watch for things like a grand slam.

Well, ratings are up significantly this year. People love McIlroy, Fowler, and Spieth.

Time will tell, but I dont see golf enjoying the same success as the Tiger era based on some of the research of younger sports viewers data. I think people will always play, but I predict TV interest will begin to really decline among casual fans over the next generation. People like you will always watch, but I see the overall numbers takign a dip long term. Golf and baseball are going to have similar issues with the way our society is headed (twitter instant gratification) in terms of drawing huge Tv ratings. Just look at how the World Series has struggled compared to 30 years ago. Yes people still watch the WS but it does not carry the same weight as it once did as a must see sporting event.
Here is an article that highlights the challenges Golf on Tv will face in the next generation of sports viewers.

Just because it won't reach peak-Tiger levels again doesn't really signal a decline IMO. Like I said, there are more young golfers entering the game than ever before. TV ratings are up a lot this year compared to the last few because the new faces are beginning to establish themselves as the PGA moves on from Tiger. We saw the dip, but now they're on the way back up.

We will have to agree to disagree. Lets see how what the numbers are like 10-15- 20-25 years from now when many of the older golf fans have passed away. Just dont think the younger casual sports fan coming up is going to be as interested and the numbers do back that.

Not the numbers I've seen, but like you said, agree to disagree

If Spieth goes on and wins six majors over the next four years, then we pretty much just have another Tiger Woods anyways.

The kid is good enough to do it too. I just wish there were more good left handers these days. Phil is past his prime, Bubba can't play away from Augusta, and Wier hasn't done anything in half a decade now.
