I guess if you’re a Rory fan you liked the coverage; that’s how I was for Tiger in his heyday; even now actually. I find Rory a bit boring, but I’ll say this: I’ve seen a lot of pros hit tee shots now up close. I caught Rory up close for the first time at no.1 tee box at the masters the year Patrick reed won; his tee shot floored me. The most powerful and majestic shot I’ve ever seen. He’s definitely got a bit extra.
Yep, crazy length, but his short game won this Master's! That's what makes him special, not many bombers have the smooth hands as well!

So you don’t like him because of CBS?? That isn’t Rory’s fault he isn’t doing the broadcast!
I was agreeing with post #33 which said the broadcasting fawning over one particular athlete could lead to fans despising the athlete. Not the athlete's fault but still happens.

Rory is only 5'10" so he gets a lot out of his swing. The most majestic swing I've ever watched in person was Tom Weiskoff. It looked effortless when he hit the ball.

There was a guy named Dan Forsman that we used to watch at Augusta.He had such a beautiful long swing we always wondered why he didn’t win more .I guess the old saying you drive for show and putt for dough is true.
