Without Tiger Woods, the crowd at Sunday's final round at Congressional was down about 7,000 to 30,000, according to the Washington Post. And Saturday's third-round crowd of 22,311 was down about 15,000 from last year, the Baltimore Sun reported.

That's not all bad.

It makes it easier for the rest of us who are not-really-interested-in-golf-but-just-idol-worshipers to get around the course.

Ah, just like the good ol' days. Amen.

No one is really stepping up in the post Tiger days... kinda feels like "who will win this week"? This should make golf more balanced but it has actually lost some of its excitement. If some think Tiger is not good for the game.. watch it now and you will see he is the heart beat that makes everyone play better.

It doesn't surprise me. Without Tiger some people are just at a loss as to what to do now ... Really no shock here.

Who cares, it's golf. I'd rather watch grass grow.

I like watching any player who is the best in his/her field. Even when Tiger is playing, if he isn't in position to win there is no need to watch.

Sure was a boring tournament.

July 8, 2008  10:46 AM ET

I don't believe this one bit !!! I look around my family room and the attendance watching golf on TV is the same - ME !!!

July 8, 2008  10:46 AM ET

It's like when Jordan left the NBA!!!

This is good though, weed out the posers from the real golf fans, but please still buy the merchandise, so Tiger can afford to feed Sam... ha ha

DEVO,

How does it feel to know that commenters here have identified you as an ignorant clown?

You've made it clear that you don't like golf. That's fine. What you don't need to do is show everyone how stupid you are by calling it a non-sport as you did earlier.

I need you to put your thinking cap on and go sit in a corner for a few hours and contemplate this. ANYTHING can be made into a sport. It doesn't matter what it is. Fencing, archery, killing animals, killing people.

No one here cares if you don't like golf but you don't need to make a completely fallaceous comment and try to pass it off as being accurate and true.

Got that imbecile?

Don't even bother jonis

this devo clown just wants attention - don't give it to him

July 8, 2008  01:05 PM ET

so you mean real golf fans actually got to attend without having to push by all the Tiger sniffers

July 8, 2008  01:16 PM ET

If the Tiger Sniffers, like Tiger Woods, and he's the best golfer in the world; aren't they golf fans too?

YOu would not know which side of the grass to watch

July 8, 2008  02:05 PM ET

I IDOLIZE THE TIGER. I WAS EXPECTING PHIL THE CHOKE CHOKE MEISTER TO SHOW UP BUT HE BAILED OUT... I DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO WATCH IT...

WHO'S GONNA STEP UP WHILE THE TIGER IS GONE??

July 8, 2008  02:13 PM ET

Devo just got fitted for an ****.

July 8, 2008  02:15 PM ET

Hey, Guy Fawkes, lose the all-caps.

You're gonna blow the place up.

July 8, 2008  02:18 PM ET

What is this "Phil the Choke Choke Meister" crapola?

July 8, 2008  02:57 PM ET

Jonis,

For once, you and I agree on something. Way to put Devo in his place.
