40,000 (50,000?) golf fans couldn't be wrong
The galleries look huge again today, likely to top the 38,147 who attended Sunday at the soggy Nissan Open in 2006. Apparently L.A.'s golf fans forgot that because Tiger Woods' absence might reduce TV ratings, they weren't supposed to be able to enjoy the tournament. The Los Angeles Times reported this week that without Tiger, "they're shedding tears in the CBS production truck." I guess people here have the appropriate attitude about TV ratings -- they don't give a crying truck.
