Enjoyed the Masters as always. Like many I don't play golf ( outside of mini-golf and Top Golf ), so really about the only time I watch golf is the Masters and to a lesser extent the other majors. Scheffler seems like a good guy, pretty basic personality though.

Also disappointed that no one really challenged him. Took away a lot of the drama. He was by far the best player today though.

The broadcast seemed to be trying to force him to be the next big star in golf. For him to be the face of golf and I just don't think he has the personality for it. It's obvious they are still desperate to find the next face of golf in the post Tiger Woods era.

Congrats though on both the Masters win and the birth of their child. I imagine he just has to be on cloud nine right now. Hope he enjoys it, typically there's only a few moments in your life when everything comes together so well and he's in one of those moments currently.

Let's be honest, though. Tiger has the personality of a wet sock. He's not the most engaging interview ever. His game was just so transcendent people have created this aura around Tiger Woods that's not really there. (And, obviously, the golf media lathered praise on him for cultural reasons) But, when I hear people say "He doesn't have the personality of Tiger" I laugh. What personality?

I must be missing something because Tiger didn't have some appealing personality. He just went out there and kicked everyone's asses.

Tiger has always been known as a weird guy with an introverted personality. He didn’t become a superstar for his personality, he became one because he won a lot.

If anyone ever comes close to his level of success they too will become the face of golf.

It will take a whole lot more than winning two majors and a handful of PGA tour events. Scheffler or whoever the next superstar of golf is has a long way to go.
