Tiger is by far the best thing that has ever happened to golf in terms of boosting its popularity.

Is Bill Clinton still pals with Greg Norman and falling down the stairs at 2:00am to get "a hoagie"? More like chasing some tail at Greg's place. No wonder Greg's wife just left him.

The FedEx Cup will make a big difference. For 10 million, Tiger will show up for some smaller tournaments for a change.

Thanks, FedEx!

I like his clothing line, though.

Baloney! Mr. Norman and some of the others just need to play better. People were saying the same thing about the Yankees in MLB. Now look. When's the last time The Bronx Boobers justified their payroll?

You are, of course, correct. But he has a good overall point, even if some of his reasons may be wrong. My disgust is with Mickelson (Lord, he also needs a bra) and the rest of chokers--and that's damned near all of them--at the Ryder Cups every 2 years. And, for these guys to be beaten by Garcia and Montgomery IS choking.

As long as I live, I will never forget his TOTAL MELTDOWN in the back nine of the 1996 Masters.

Greg kept his mouth shut about what really happened, so I assume they're still friends.

But I'd still like to see one tourney where all the players use the exact same equipment. I think that would be fun to watch.

There are plenty of good golfers out there, the problem is that Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are the only ones with any real charisma that seem to be able to CONSISTENTLY PLAY WELL (and even the two of them have had their moments).

They need to recruit that Kim Jong Il fella from North Korea. I hear he shot a 38 under par and had 5 aces in his first game ever! Hell, I'd watch that!

All of them have their choice of whatever equipment they want and at their level it's not costing them anything. So, I think it's fair to say that they are all playing with the clubs they feel are best for them.

Greg Norman is so far past his prime that it's not funny.

GO VIJAY!

I didn't watch basketball when Jordan was with the Bulls. Didn't hurt the NBA at all.

You want some good golf? Let's see them play for some of their own money in the pot!
