Anyone one that makes a statement like this obviously has never been interested in golf on a personal level.
I really don't give sh*t if Tiger ever plays again. I didn't get into golf because of Tiger Woods.
I've lived on the same golf course for the last 26 years and I've been building and repairing golf equipment for 18 years.
Golf is not declining on Maui.
I have played golf plenty in my lifetime and have been a member of 3 different golf clubs. You can have your opinion, but the best golf ever witnessed has been that of Tiger Woods. He will go down as the best ever, even w/o beating Jack's major record. Jack had much less competition than woods during his hay day.
