darpar I do think the sport needs him right now, this reminds me of the NBA in the years after Jordan. It was always this guy is the “next MJ”, we’ll that didn’t work out, no no it’s THIS guy... well no, but this guy! Sound familiar? Lots of really good players out there, but none which evoke the emotion or have the following of TW. For geeks like us, Justin Thomas was known as a good player and it was no shock when he won a major, the average household has no idea who he is nor are they going to follow golf because he’s playing. That’s NOT the way it was with TW.
In the public’s eye there is Rickey (orange pants guy), Rory ( who’s his gf?), Day ( is he Really Australian?), Spieth ( young guy who won majors) and Bubba (pink driver) some other guys. This is why TW is needed.
