Tiger & O'Meara in Dubai - Click for larger version
I have a very fun Twitter list to follow called TigerPoulterWestwood. The Twitter hash for it is @TigerPoulterWestwood. There are only three people on there, Lee Westwood, Tiger Woods and Ian Poulter. 99% of the time Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter are harassing Tiger. It is very fun to follow.
Yesterday Westwood caught a picture of Tiger Woods and Mark O’Meara hanging out in Dubai (right) and dished out a little dig following Tiger’s and O’Meara’s win in the Dubai Desert Classic Challenge Match. The Challenge is a nine hole, par-3 event which pitted Woods/O’Meara against Lee Westwood/Miguel Angel Jiménez and Jeev Milkha Singh and Noh Seung-yul. Woods and O’Meara won the event by two shots at -4.
Westwood’s congratulatory dig
“Breaking news! Omeara/woods win in Dubai . 1 win in 18 months!”
Tiger on playing golf with his pal Mark O’Meara
“It’s always fun to play with Mark. We don’t play as much as we used to. Obviously he’s on the Senior Tour now and it’s nice to catch up and play and we’ll have dinner this week. It’s always fun. He’s like my big brother and it’s always fun to get out there and play with him. I hit some good shots and he made all the putts!”
I’m actually jealous of Tiger. Not because of his dough and all that, but because he has such a good pal in O’Meara. Having met Mark and talked to him for a while, he is one of the most genuine and coolest golf pros ever.
It should be a great week to watch golf. The top four players in the world are in action this week.
#4 Phil Mickelson is at Pebble Beach. The top three, Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer are in Dubai.

I’m happy to announce that my two web sites, Hooked On Golf Blog & The Golf Space, have partnered with AT&T Interactive’s “YP” brand to give away two pairs of tickets to this week’s AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach. These two pairs of tickets are good for Thursday through Sunday’s rounds. Click the read more link below to read more about YP.
Two ways to win, and they’re EASY
I’m going to draw the pairs of tickets for Pebble by picking someone who follows The Golf Space or Hooked On Golf Blog’s Twitter pages. That’s it. If you already have followed one or the other, simply to a Twitter mention of @thegolfspace or @hoggolfblog and you’ll be entered. This contest will last approximately 1-2 days so I can have enough time to overnight the winners the tickets.
Click here to follow the Hooked On Golf Blog Twitter.

A 3rd way to win if you don’t do the Twitter thing
If you don’t have a Twitter account and don’t want to sign up for one, comment in here or any post from and I’ll add you to the contest.

Wow how about this group? Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer are paired up Thursday for the first round of the Dubai Desert Classic. There are all sorts of world ranking implications, depending on where the players finish. I’ll post the Dubai Desert Classic TV times and channels soon.
Tiger wins regardless of the outcome
Regardless of whether or not Tiger wins this tournament or even makes the cut, he’s the true winner. He’ll be pocketing a $3 million appearance fee for showing up.
I’d like to save the United Arab Emirates a few bucks and offer myself for this position. I’d do it for less dough than Tiger. Let me know. My clubs are ready.
