Did you remotely care?

Phil Mickelson came from behind to win the Tour Championship yesterday and got the crystal trophy. Woods finished second to win the playoff thingy, that shiny trophy, and ten million dollars to use as kindling for a nice beach fire at his estate.

When the PGA came up with the uber-lame playoff idea a few years ago, I figured the test for whether it would ever catch on would be if Woods was in the running and needing a certain result to win. Would anyone care under those circumstances? Because, if Woods being in the chase didn’t make people care, nothing would.

And I, for damn sure, didn’t care.

Nice try, PGA, but the playoff remains uber-lame. Golf.com’s roundtable on just that subject and other tour musings here.
