Tiger’s legacy will last for years to come
Golf Australia boss Stephen Pitt believes the full spin off from “Tiger hysteria” which swept the country last week would be be felt for some years.
The immediate benefits of having the game’s greatest player win the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath on Sunday will be quickly gauged by TV ratings, website hits, equipment sales, player registrations and rounds played.
But the full impact, according to Pitt, will not really be felt until young kids, inspired by watching Woods, take up the game in their thousands.
Pitt said one young spectator summed up watching Woods better than anyone could, describing the experience as like “seeing a superhero come to life in front of your eyes”.
