Las Vegas betting on Tiger Woods to win Chevron Golf Challenge
2011-11-30 00:35:00 A few good showings at golf events in Australia and Tiger Woods has become the odds-on favorite to win the Chevron World Challenge this week. Las Vegas odds makers, Golf Channel and even crowdsourcing websites have the former number one golfer in the world in their sights or at single digit odds while GolfOdds.com says, "All other golfers are double digit odds." Bodog.com confirms Tiger Woods as the 7/1 favorite with Furyk also remaining in single-digit odds...but not by much. Although the eighteen player field includes Webb Simpson, Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Nick Watney, Bill Haas & Jason Day, it is Tiger Woods who is the focus of attention on both the Golf Channel website and on their Facebook page. Why? To play on fan emotions? What does Woods have that these other great golfers are lacking? Would you choose four-time previous winner Tiger Woods to lift the trophy at his own event or one of these great players? ...
Will Twitter on golf television remove the "social" from the media?
2011-10-27 20:58:00 A Twitter feed will share TV screen space with Nationwide Tour golfers this weekend as Golf Channel features writers offering analysis alongside of already long-winded commentary. Do I really need on-screen "captions" telling me what I'm already watching? Is Golf Channel removing the "social" from the media? You can see what Golf Channel intends to do here but the screen caption does not give me faith in their new "Social Media Saturday". The comment by Rex Hoggard says it all, "Watching JJ Killeen roll up his pants could be an amazing shot from the water." He follows up with, "Hope everyone is watching on the Golf Channel." Oh boy, if this is what golf fans are in for, this golf TV network just took two steps backward! First, I can see that Killeen is in the water and am excited to watch the shot. Second, I do not need the Golf Channel to place its ad directly in front of me as I'm watching this amazing shot. I hope the commentary is both humorous and ent...
Tiger Woods dishes about marriage and more on Golf Channel Interview
2010-12-01 16:21:00 Tiger Woods sat down with Golf Channel?s Steve Sands at the Chevron World Challenge for a one-on-one interview, portions which will air within Golf Central, Wednesday, December 1st, at 6 p.m. ET. In the wide-ranging interview, Woods dishes on who he believes is the world?s best golfer, his departure from former swing coach Hank Haney and his lowest point on the course in 2010. Tiger Woods also addresses questions from Sands about how this past year ? on and off the course ? tested him emotionally, how the fans have received him, whether he will marry again, and how much the public has the right to know about celebrities and its heroes. The former number-one golfer hid from public view after his scandalous affair but has decided to make a grand re-entry with an essay written for Newsweek, "How I've Redefined Victory". Woods now also posts regularly to his Twitter account and called in to the Mike and Mike in the Morning show. The Golf Channel Interview is simp...
Golf Channel Big Break Dominican Republic relying on Giuliani for support
2010-09-29 18:52:00 Andrew Giuliani (credit) Golf Channel is relying on the popularity of Andrew Giuliani (son of former NYC Mayor Rudy) and eleven other former "players you know and love?or hate" offering up the biggest prize in Big Break history in order to stir up interest and a continued following in the 14th season of the reality show. Twelve former contestants will get a second chance tonight at The Big Break: Reunion, Revenge, Redemption, this time set in the Dominican Republic. The premise is that teams compete against each other in order for one golfer, male or female, to reign supreme, get exemptions and win prize money. Sure the prizes and the idea of Big Break are interesting but can't Golf Channel come up with a slew of new contestants or are fans more interested in watching a show that rivals Jersey Shore? The winning team at the conclusion of the 10-episode series will share the $100,000 cash prize, with $50,000 going to the most valuable player (MVP), who will be cro...
Golf Channel's Social Media Experiment needs tweaking.
2010-09-20 16:33:00 Some golf fans enjoyed Golf Channel's social media "experiment" on Saturday while others claimed that the format just "did not work" but one thing is for sure; kudos go out for trying! Golf Channel's Twitter acknowledgment that their announcer-lite format might need work, "Don't worry we have announcers today," was merely a response to angry viewer commentary on the Q and A forum. Sound issues from mic noise and the lack of narration from the broadcasters actually detracted from the Nationwide Tour's Boise Open. Here are a few fan complaints about the Golf Channel announcer-lite Satuday: Mark Boyd Said on 09/18/2010, at 6:18 PM EST ?This simply does NOT work!! Should have learned after the NFL tried this tears ago - didn't work for them either!!!!? albegolfin Said on 09/18/2010, at 6:15 PM EST ?we watch golf every weekend. Commentary free golf is "for the birds". As I timed it, we only get to see about three go...

Charles Barkley working to become the next Tiger Woods and how science can
2009-02-23 21:58:00 Click here to listen.To look at the golf swings of both Tiger Woods and Charles Barkley, one would have to admit that they are complete opposites from start to finish. Even with a gimp and a grimace at the 2008 U.S. Open, Woods' fluidity was still beautiful to watch. Barkley's movements, on the other hand, have been the fodder for everyone from amateurs on YouTube to Tiger Woods himself, who jokingly attempted to copy the infamous swing which has been compared to "a tornado on acid".Charles Barkley has finally had enough ribbing and will allow himself to be guided by Hank Haney in which the master instructor will try and rid the former NBA star, once an 80's golfer, of his "spasmodic hitch". Haney believes this "hitch" is hiding the real quandary and will address problems of dropping the head through impact and the angle of Barkley's swing plane noting, "when you have a mess like he has, you're not going to fix it with a swing thought."It should be interesting to see if Haney c...

The L-word: Al Sharpton and the Golf Channel eliminate racism in America
2008-01-10 16:29:00 Political correctness elevates sensitivity over truth. - Bill Maher You Americans can be so silly sometimes. Take the latest flare-up of political correctness in your sports world. Kelly Tilghman, the Golf Channel anchor who during Friday’s broadcast from the Mercedes-Benz Championship said while discussing Tiger Woods’ dominance that young players on the PGA Tour should “lynch him in a back alley,” was suspended two weeks Wednesday for the remark. The move came after a wave of outrage that included a call for her to be fired by civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton and despite a statement from the Woods camp saying, “It is a complete non-issue.” (Story) Let’s see if we can sort this out. One possibility is that Sharpton, the Golf Channel and any number of other people think that Tilghman was serious. That she was literally suggesting that other golfers drag Tiger’s uppity butt into an alley, string a rope through the fire escape,...

Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman: Players should “Lynch Tiger Wood
2008-01-09 20:39:00 According to her bio, anchor Kelly Tilghman finds Monty Python’s “Holy Grail” “HILARIOUS!” Well- there is nothing hilarious about her “lynch Tiger Woods” comment she made on air last Friday for the Golf Channel. Kelly Tilghman is “the first, full-time female play-by-play commentator in the history of the PGA TOUR” currently with the Golf Channel. Maybe she should work for the History Channel and understand how inappropriate that comment is in the face of American history! What an IDIOT! During a Friday’s telecast of the PGA Tour’s opening event, she said that today’s young players should “lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley.” Get your face out of the rough on the fairway and read some history, Kelly!

Golf Channel Anchor Says ? Young Golfers Should Lynch Tiger Woods?!!
2008-01-09 02:18:00 Kelly Tilghman has a chummy relationship with Tiger Woods and a funny sense of humor, but in this case we have to wonder what was she thinking? During their usual post-round banter as they wrapped up Day 2 at the Plantation Course at Kapalua, Tilghman and cohort Nick Faldo discussed young players who could possibly challenge Tiger. ...
