US Tour will miss Tiger but it will survive, says supremo Finchem
US PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem says Tiger Woods' indefinite leave doesn't spell "gloom and doom" for golf.
Finchem said that while the sport's biggest star's absence will hurt and television ratings won't be as strong, the (US) Tour will have a prosperous season in 2010. He said that would happen whether Woods was out for two months or all year.
Finchem said that Woods only plays about 16 times a year, and the other tournaments have survived. The commissioner said the six tournaments that raised the most money for charity did not have Woods in the field for the last few years.
