Tiger Woods names three golfing idols he wishes were mic’d
In the future, major changes are expected in the world of sports, including the world of golf. One of the innovations that could be introduced is players being mic’d up. This approach has already been introduced by TGL, a popular technology league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Namely, they wanted to allow fans to have a more exciting experience, as if they were present on the course, given that each participant is completely microphone-covered.
Tiger Woods thinks that such an idea is great, and in an interview for the TGL Jupiter Links Golf Club team’s YouTube channel, he spoke about the legends of this sport.

Namely, Tiger named three players from his childhood who he would have liked to have played while being mic’d up.
“Well, Lee Buck (Trevino) for sure. Tommy Bolt would have been awesome … and Jim Thorpe,” Woods said.
All three names are well-known to golf fans, especially those older ones who enjoyed their performances.
Trevino was special for his charisma, character and humor. This is the reason why he had a huge fan base and why people still remember his performances and statements with nostalgia today.
In addition, Bolt was a similar player and often had impulsive reactions on the golf courses.
Thorpe was known for certain antics during his career, but he still remains a legend of the sport.
Whether the PGA Tour will take a similar approach in the future and want to cover the players with a microphone during the broadcasts remains to be seen, but it seems that such an idea is still far from being realized.
Is the PGA Tour ready for such a step?
If we were to look at how open fans are to such options, it is certain that younger golf fans are more open to such changes than older fans.
Be that as it may, the PGA Tour, as well as LIV Golf, pointed out that they are ready for innovation.
We will see if these innovations include microphone coverage of players during brodcasts.
