Title: Tiger Woods to play in the TPC
Post by: copperfiend on April 21, 2010, 02:09:18 PM
QuotePONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) â€" Tiger Woods has entered The Players Championship as he fills out a schedule that is not much different from previous years.

The only change is that Woods is giving tournaments a chance to promote his appearance.

This is the second straight time Woods has made an early commitment to an event. For years, the world's No. 1 player waited until the last day before signing up for most tournaments.

I have never been to a PGA tour event. How are they? They seem boring on tv, but there are many fans on the side lines

I enjoy it because I walk the course and interact with the other fans.  It is almost a festival type atmosphere.  You probably "see" more actual golf on TV.

The TPC Sawgrass is a great event. What most people do not know is that the PGA Tour is a non-profit (unique amongst the major sports leagues) and generates loads of money for local charities at each event. Here is a list of charities they help from their website http://together.pgatour.com/causes/ (http://together.pgatour.com/causes/). I would list them here, but it would make the post too long.

Speaking of Tiger Woods...

Just got back from the Landing for lunch where I was checking out the 157' yacht moored there. I asked a couple crews guys while loading up supplies and asked who it belonged to. One of them answered "just a wealthy man".
I asked if was a wealthy man playing golf for a living to which he replied "maybe".  :D


I looked it up... the Casino Royale belongs to Tiger.

It does not belong to Tiger Woods, the Casino Royale belongs to John Staluppi.

You're correct. I should've known when I didn't see Hooter's girls being loaded on hand trucks up the gangway.
