What happened to the unidentified person(s) who would track Tiger Woods’ every move on a golf course via the @GCTigerTracker account? It appears the person(s) behind the account might’ve been a victim of the Golf Channel layoffs that were announced over the summer and closing of its main Orlando operation as a scaled-down version of the company moves to Stamford, Connecticut where NBC Sports is based.
Golf writer Geoff Shackelford believes the inactivity out of the account signals the powers behind the account have been laid off. GCTigerTracker’s last activity was a September 28 reply tweet. Tiger Woods shot a 66 Friday, which would’ve been a big tweet day for GCTT, but it was crickets out of an account so many people used to keep tabs on Eldrick’s every move.
According to the account’s bio on GolfChannel.com, “Tiger Tracker joined Golf Channel in 2012, ironically in the midst of Woods’ longest-ever streak without a major, which, finally (!) is over. This intrepid observer has followed Woods across the globe, from Australia to Abu Dhabi to California, providing readers with invaluable insight into golf’s biggest attraction.”
This tweet from Golf Channel’s account was deleted:
Maybe Tiger is worth tracking. Plus he doesn’t play every tournament anymore
Eldrick
Eldrick is currently in 69th place 13 shots off the lead and as usual sucking all the oxygen from everyone else what a joke.
Tracking Eldrick finish of day 3 tied for 68th place 16 shots off the lead
Ok fans final day of the ZOZO and our fearless leader Eldrick is currently in 72nd place 19 shots off the pace
Alrighty now Eldrick has finished up play and is tied for 72nd place 23 shots back so that wraps up our Eldrick tracker for now.
