Tiger is giving Fred Funk some grief about the fact that Annika may be driving it past him this weekend in the Skins Game.
This “hit and giggle” event will have Tiger Woods, Fred Couples (Mr. Skins Game), Fred Funk and Annika Sorenstam.
Predictions?
I’m going to say Freddie wins the most dough, Tiger next, Funk and then Annika.
Coverage:
SAT 11/26 ABC 1-3:30 p.m. ET
SUN 11/27 ABC 3:30-6 p.m. ET
Being Thanksgiving and the fact that I don’t have to go to turkey dinner for another 3 hours I thought I’d start up the first annual Hooked On Golf Blog Turkey Awards. If you have some other turkeys I’m not thinking of comment them in!
Congratulations to the winners of the 2005 HOG Turkey Awards.
Any I didn’t think of?

OK it’s 12:02 am my time so it’s officially Thanksgiving. I decided to type in the two things I’ll be thinking about most on Thanksgiving into google: golf and turkey.
I came up with a link to National Golf Club in Antalya, Turkey! This place was designed by David Feherty?!!
Tiger did his “Michael Jordan in the NBA finals against the Jazz” imitation when he overcame an ankle injury and a stomach virus to win the ’05 Grand Slam. His closest competitor was Phil Mickelson who was 7 shots back.
A 7 shot victory is pretty huge when you consider this was only a 36 hole event.
He gets $400K in “unofficial” money, but I bet it spends the same as the official money.
Title that didn’t make the cut: “Tiger gets leid in Hawaii”
