Did you see Tiger in SHORTS today at the Tavistock cup? Haven’t seen him in shorts since he was an amateur. NO he’s not turning amateur.
The Tavistock cup is the the biggest inter-club championship which takes place between Isleworth Country Club and Lake Nona Golf and Country Club. Members of the clubs include the biggest names in golf such as Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Retief Goosen, Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam and more.
Host Isleworth Country Club and Lake Nona Golf and Country Club ended the one-day competition in an 8 ½-8 ½ tie.
Finally The Players Championship is over. After days of starting and stopping due to rain delays, they are done.
Today the wind was brutal to the players. #17 claimed many victims, including Bob Tway who recorded a tournament record 12 on the par 3.
Short hitters everywhere rejoice! Fred Funk is The Players Champion! Finally a tournament where driving accuracy means something! I think more tournaments need to be set up to evenly reward not only driving distance, but driving accuracy as well.
And now for the Funky picture show:
Funky break dancing (when Fred missed a putt)
Fred’s lie in the bunker on 18. He had to get up and down to stay at -9 and win the tournament.
Funk does “the funky fist pump” (his version of the Tiger fist pump)
Fred throws his hat down knowing he has probably won the tournament after making his par saving putt on 18.
Who is “the greatest golfer ever?” Is it Jack or Tiger? Jack or Tiger? That is all we hear.
Annika Sorenstam has just won her 5th tournament IN A ROW. She has also notched her first major win of the year (8) at the Nabisco.
She has won more times in her career than Tiger, and is on a much faster pace than he is in career wins. Barring injury or early retirement Annika could eclipse just about any professional golfer’s career wins.
So is she the greatest golfer ever? Does it matter that she’s female?

He is an old man in golf at age twenty-four, has reached his peak and can't get any better. It's a question of how long this boy can hold what he has.
