Tiger Woods, the game of golf needs you. Come back to us, at least by the 2012 Masters, please. I think you will, but I need some reassurance. Watching Keegan Bradley out-duel Jason Dufner just isn’t cutting it for me.

Yesterday Keegan Bradley won the PGA Championship in his first major start, becoming only the 3rd player in the last 100 years to do so. Talk about an unlikely winner, Keegan joins the likes of Yang Yong-eun, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer, and Charl Schwartzel on the list of relative no-names to win a major title more recently than Woods (the 2008 US Open being his last major victory). And while this was indeed a dramatic finish with Keegan coming from 5 strokes back over the last 3 holes after he chipped into the water for a triple bogey at the 15th, even the seesaw ending couldn’t keep me glued to the TV and off of the beirut table. This is a problem, as I fall into the golf-obsessed category and am not a “casual” fan. If you’re losing me, you’re losing just about everybody, which certainly isn’t good for the game.
