If Annika Sorenstam makes the cut for The Colonial this weekend, will golf draw more viewers or will the i500?

Oh come on, the question should be if AS makes the cut will the Colonial get twice the viewership of the IRL500 or more. Its already wall to wall coverage on the story and it will even get worse if she makes the cut.

Anyone know off the top of their head what the top viewership drawing golf tournaments draw viewership wise? I want to say its in the 8 to 10 range.

I thought she was in on a sponsor provisional? Did they change that or is this something different? Obviously I don't follow golf...zzzzz...zzzzz...

She is, but that means she is treated like everyone else. Everyone has to make the cut and whether you got in on a provisional or not makes no difference.

TG and Vijay are breathing a sigh of relief. She shot a second-round 74 (+4) and missed the cut.
