Tiger joins John Daly’s exes as those who have Rolexes, signs 1st major endorsement deal in a couple of years. Tiger’s wrist has gone sponsor-less since Tag Heuer dropped him a few months ago but now has a new sponsor in Rolex.

Tiger will be a global ambassador for Swiss watch maker.

Comment Central

Already the Tiger/Time puns and comments are rolling in across the digital landscape. It is interesting how polarizing Tiger is to people. Some comments from Twitter (none of which are mine):

Is it Tiger’s Time once again?

Tiger doing time with Rolex

In the Tiger Woods pool, if you had “new endorsement deal” before “next victory,” congrats. You win.

Their watches must be slow – time caught up with Tiger two years ago.

Tiger Woods signs sponsorship deal with Rolex, will now be able to tell that it’s time to retire.

In related News Tag Heuer executives clean out offices.

Time is now.

Perfect timing.

Time is of the essence for Tiger.

Hopefully, his fancy watch comes with a compass to find his errant tee shots.

I have a feeling he’s gunna be making an epic comeback next season.

Time heals?

Guess I’ll jump on the “how will Tiger do?” bandwagon

Never thought I’d see him playing in a fall series event but this week Tiger Woods is playing in the FRYS.com Open. Seems like every golf publication, golf forum, golf blog and golf social network entity is posting a “how will Tiger do?” article. Ok, I’ll bite.

How Will Tiger Do? Food for thought:

Tiger has found a new, permanent caddie, Dustin Johnson’s now former looper Joe LaCava.

Tiger has just recorded a course record 62 this past week at The Medalist Club in Hobe Sound, Florida. The media have been going nuts about this. I look at it a couple of ways. Yes, a 62 is amazing. But consider that this is a no-pressure round with no media, no gallery and no field of Tour players gunning for him. Can he bring that to a Tour event?

One a permanent fixture in the #1 world golf ranking, Tiger has dropped 50 spots to 51st.

This week’s field at the FRYS is very weak in world golf ranking. I haven’t had the time or desire to research this one myself, but I heard mentioned that TW was the highest ranked player in the field at 51. Update: Whoever mentioned that was incorrect. Louis Oosthuizen is ranked 49. Not going to go any deeper looking at player rankings for this field of 120.

Your Opinion? How Will Tiger Do?

Comment in here how you think Tiger will fare this week and why.

High Fives?

Personally, I’m most interested to see how Tiger and Joe’s high fives fly. I wonder if they’ve been working on them on the practice range and if so, will they be able to bring that to the course?

HOG World Tour heading to Goblin Valley

The Hideout Golf Course has beatiful tree lined holes and a lot of great eleveation changes. Click for more images.

Yesterday at the Hideout Golf Course was a fun but tough day. I’m still processing this track in my mind. The Hideout is unlike any other course I’ve played and possibly the highest altitude course I’ve played. The 16th green for instance, is the highest green in the state of Utah, even including Park City golf courses.

I’ll have more to say and more photos from the Hideout posted after I get back to HOG World Headquarters.

Right now we have Moab in the rear view mirror and are heading for one of the wildest places on earth, Goblin Valley State Park. Stay tuned for some crazy images of red rock goblins.

HOG World Tour update! Had a fantastic day today at Moab Golf Club in Moab, Utah. Yes there’s more to do here than just hiking, mountain biking, river rafting, ATV-ing, going to several nearby national parks or shopping in this quaint tourist town. There’s a very fun golf course here.
