When Tiger Woods is in a field, it's not at all uncommon for all other golfers to be ignored. Actually, with very few exceptions, that's pretty much been the norm.
Now, that hasn't always been noticeable, as Tiger has won a lot of those tournaments when he has overshadowed all other golfers.
Now, Bridgestone is still a long way from being over. As of right now, a lot of players haven't even started their second round. But there is an underlying first round story that has failed to garner a lot of attention, and it does relate to Tiger Woods.
Adam Scott carded an opening round 62 on his way to the opening round lead. That happens a lot, so on its own, it's not worth too much.
But the man doing the caddying for Scott for that round was Steve Williams, the same man who was on the bag for Tiger Woods for the majority of his career.
Tiger gets attention because good or bad, he's the biggest draw in the game. People in the media know that his name is likely to bring more reads to their papers or magazines. They know that his face is likely to bring in more viewers.
Honestly, pay some attention to these. Even the people who are overly critical of Tiger and his attention will mention him a lot when they are complaining about it. He brings in too much interest and too much money to ignore his name.
That's all understandable, but by ignoring Scott's performance, we're missing a big storyline that would not only give attention to another golfer, but would also relate to Tiger.
For as long as Steve Williams caddying for Adam Scott, anything he does relates to Tiger. That?s certainly the case until Tiger wins again and probably wins a major again.
Once that happens, we are likely to return to a more normal state that we haven?t seen since before Thanksgiving of 2009.
But for the immediate future, anything Scott does directly relates to Tiger. There is plenty of attention go around if Stevie beats Tiger to the winner?s circle.
