See More... Tiger Woods is undoubtedly a busy man. I'm sure that for somebody with commitments like he has, there literally aren't enough minutes in the day. So I guess I can't be surprised to discover that Woods doesn't watch hockey -- a little detail that leaked out at the end of a conference call yesterday ahead of this year's PGA Championship (from the transcript):

JULIUS MASON: Mr. Woods, Julius Mason here. We're joined by about 75 of your closest friends and I think off the top of their head they have one burning question for you, Detroit or Pittsburgh tonight? In the Stanley Cup finals. (Laughter.)

TIGER WOODS: That's pretty good. I don't really care, let's talk about the Dodgers. (Laughter.)

JULIUS MASON: Politically correct as always and that's what we ?

TIGER WOODS: I don't think anybody really watches hockey any more. (Laughter.)

Woods' comments come at a pretty interesting time, as they were made just a few hours before the Penguins and the Red Wings triple OT thriller that scored a 4.3/8 rating -- the highest rating for a Game Five since 2002's Finals between the Red Wings and the Carolina Hurricanes.

And if any hockey fans are offended by Tiger's words fear not. Because as we all know too well, ratings for golf are slipping too. And while Tiger might think nobody cares about hockey anymore, we all know that if Tiger isn't in the hunt, nobody really cares about golf either.
