Today, on Friday February 19, 2010, Tiger Woods made a public apology to a group of close friends and family.

Tiger Woods to Make Public Announcement

As you all know Tiger Woods has been under the gun since his Thanksgiving Day car accident outside of his home in Orange County, Florida. The accident happened very late at night and there was immediate speculation that alcohol and domestic violence was involved in the incident. Alcohol, according to the Orange County Police Department, was not the cause of the accident. Then stories came from everywhere claiming that Elin Nordegren, Tiger’s Swedish [...]

A Tiger Woods Holiday Poem

What follows is a poem that was passed on to me by my favorite cousin. I call her my favorite cousin because, well, she is my only cousin, and after reading this she should be glad that she is my only one! As many of you know I am the single biggest Tiger Woods fan on the planet. Well, there might be someone out there that tops my dedication to the man, but I doubt it. So, when this recent media frenzy began I decided that I would wait until it [...]

Twitter Interview: 1-on-1 with Paul Poteet

I remember growing up always listening to the radio to and from Terre Haute. We would turn on 99.9 (the country station) or when we were feeling a little bit frisky we would check out 100.9 (the top 40 station). Radio, over the years, has gone from being nothing but music to being all about everything else. I challenge you to turn on the radio and see how long you can stomach not changing the station. You will be overwhelmed with commercials, headlines [...]

Tiger Woods Becomes the First Billion Dollar Athlete

It was only a matter of time before this happened. I am not so sure why so many of you out there are even surprised by this. He makes a mere seven to ten million a year in tournament earnings but nets over one hundred million a year in sponsorship exemptions alone. He also is the face of one of the most popular video games on the market as well as doing work with golf course architecture and the Tiger Woods Foundation. (Just so we are clear, the Tiger Woods [...]

My Round at Revere Golf Club

Just last week I went on a vacation. I started in Las Vegas, headed to the Grand Canyon, moved to Los Angeles, then to Palm Springs, down to Dana Point, and then back to LA to finish out the trip. I did a ton of driving on my trip but managed to play some incredible golf courses and see some beautiful sights along the way. I will, over the next few posts, be telling you about these golf courses and the sights and sounds that I saw. I will begin today telling you about my round [...]

Tiger Woods Tees off at the Barclays

Here we go again. Tiger Woods is up and at them this week for the kick off of the FedEx Cup at The Barclays. Tiger is coming off one of the worst putting displays I have seen from him in a long time (he missed two putts within five feet) as well as one of the most conservative rounds I can remember him ever playing. Tiger lost to Asian sensation Y.E. Yang. Yang came in to the event having only played in seven previous majors, never making [...]

Hey Tiger, Let's Hurry It Up

So the WGC Bridgestone was this weekend in Akron, Ohio, at Firestone Country Club. In the field this week were 49 of the top 50 players in the world competing for yet another WGC trophy. (Can anyone tell me when the WGC was founded?) Tiger, who has more titles in the WGC than I can [...]

Tiger Woods is a Cry Baby

Before we get started I would like to ask you a simple question. Who is the number one golfer in the world? I am talking about the single best player that is on the face of this planet. The guy that wins over 25% of the tournaments that he enters. The guy that took eight [...]
