Why is golf fun to watch on TV?

It doesn’t look like Tiger has what it takes to come from behind today and win the Masters. Right now he’s in second place six strokes behind headed to the eighteenth tea at Augusta.

Ordinarily, one would think that golf would be boring to watch on TV. You can’t see the ball off the club, the action is slow, you can’t really see the landscape in two dimensions. What makes it fun is observing the players deal with pressure. I think that’s why I love watching the majors, but would not think of watching a regular PGA tour event. There’s something about watching people trying to perform difficult physical feats in the most pressure packed moments of their lives.
