It's by score and people the public gives a fuck about.
Tiger is always listed on ESPN's bottomline regardless of his score or the standings. SOMEONE CALL ESPN!!!!:laugh:

Great way to market the sport to a casual fan, so he/she doesn't really know who is in the lead, and how far back the other golfers really are. SMH.

So once again, where does it say TV has to follow said protocol?

They are going to appeal to what their audience wants, no matter what. You would have NO problem if it was anyone else. You are just choosing to bitch and cry about it because it's Tiger.

They aren't showing the leaderboard out of order.

It still is lowest score to highest.

This ranks very highly on the "dumbest things ever to get panties twisted up over" list of retarded complaints about a televised sporting event.

Is the lack of attribution meaningful, or just additional proof that you're not very bright?

And who gives a fuck other than you and the Klan? They've done the same sort of things with guys like Mickelson, too. Big names get more publicity. Why do you want everyone to be equal, you damn socialist commie!?!?

Tiger moves to -2 and is listed above the -1 guys.

You probably have a problem with that too.

I'm aware. I was mocking ccrunner wanting them to list the leaderboard by who is closest to the 18th hole.

That's how it is supposed to be listed for the MASTER'S SCORE TABLE.

With ESPN, they can list their rankings anyway they want. How hard is that to understand. People want to see how Tiger is doing, not some bumfuck from nebraska playing in his 15th major and never making the cut. Get that through your head.

Is it really hurting you? You obviously have the ability to see it online there, why continue bitching? Write CBS/ESPN a letter.

LOL at Tiger being bad for Golf on TV. Maybe to the purists, it pisses them off. But guess what? CBS/ESPN/NBC dont give to fucks about you and what you want. They appeal to the masses, and the masses want every shot of Tiger in the lead or in last place. So they get it.

Now, stfu about something that isnt wrong, isnt breaking any code or rule or law, and isnt affecting anyone in a negative manner.

TV is not affiliated with the PGA. Anything affiliated with it (ie, their scoreboard on the course, the ESPN and CBS one on TV covering the event, etc) need to follow their rules.

ESPN.com and all the other web outlets dont need to do so. They can do whatever they want. Where in the rules does it say, its against the rules to post scores out of order on a 3rd party website?

And they are followed. At the course. The only place the scoreboard rules actually come into play. TV can do what they want. Hell, they could list the scoreboard alphabetically if they really wanted to.

Not surprised that you don't know that.
