Phil Mickelson has confirmed he’ll be playing in the final major of the year, the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine. This is good.

Will the fourth and final major of the year have a big name winner? So far, no big names like Phil, Tiger, Sergio…

After one week, the back isn’t quite ready yet

This last tweak of my back was a bad one. One of the worst in years. I have an extremely high pain threshold and this one nearly had me on my knees a bunch of times.

Usually after one week I’m fine to make some swings and play a few golf holes. I’d hoped I could make my league appearance today, to continue my moneylist leading season. Unfortunately my back has other plans for me, which would include doing nothing.

Now I’m wondering if I’ll even be able to play my regular Thursday game. My buddy Marius may not get a shot at taking more cash from me.

Buick will no longer sponsor Buick Open

There are few PGA Tour tournaments which I actually use the sponsor’s name when describing them. Typically I try to leave sponsor’s names out because I feel they devalue the event, plus sponsors come and go. I prefer to call it the “Bob Hope” instead of the “Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.”

One which is hard not to use the sponsor’s name is the Buick Open, which has been around for about 50 years with Buick as the title sponsor. That is apparently going to come to an end after this year.

So I wonder who will be the next sponsor of the Buick Open. Perhaps Volkswagen? “Welcome to the 2010 Volkswagen Buick Open.”

Friend is playing golf with Butch Harmon right now!

I just got a great text message from a golf pal of my named Bryant.

Bryant is an Iraq war veteran who was nearly killed by a road side bomb. He’s been through a lot of pain and damage to his body as a result. He has a new passion for golf.

He’s playing in a benefit tournament right now, details of which I’m not fully informed. He’s playing with, and being coached by Butch Harmon! He didn’t even know who Butch was when he texted me so I let him know that Butch has coached some moderately famous golfers like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

Bryant could use some good coaching now, as he’s new to the game. It would be good for Butch to start him off right, instead of Bryant learning a bunch of bad habits.

More details to come…

Mon: 2:30 – 4:30 p.m ET on The Golf Channel

Heck of a leaderboard right now with Retief Goosen, Anthony Kim and others all with a chance to win. Mike Weir isn’t out of the realm of possibilities either at four back. Watching PGA Tour golf on Monday doesn’t suck!
