How many events were there to play in back then? In other words, what
percentage of the total PGA events per year was 17, and what is Tiger's
percentage? That's the only fair comparison if there has to be one.

The number of official events wasn't much different back then. There may
have been 5 fewer, but that's about it.
The big difference is in how many were televised.

Thanks for reminding me of this one. It's certainly my impression that you
saw more top players playing 20 years ago than you do now, but you are right
that back then there was a lot less TV coverage so nobody had to watch the
second string slug it out in the swampland open. I'm sure the growth of
golf tours around the world and the money that allows top pros to afford to
play anywhere they want makes a bit of a difference too. We ought to be
taking a closer look at some of these events, since Tiger, Phil, Ernie, etc.
aren't getting any younger, but it's not easy sometimes getting excited
about these events.

Jack Nicklaus, the so-called greatest ever and the saviour of golf averaged
about 17 tour events per year. Why hold Tiger to any greater standard?

His next scheduled start is the Players Championship. Wouldn't be shocked
to see him at Wachovia though.
