Cool interview with Tiger post tournament.

His only concern was that the tournament proceeded and was successfull.

Amazing for a man of my generation to be able, from their own hard work, to personally cut $4 MM checks to make sure that he delivers on his word to the players and the kids who will benefit.


I am sure that Northwestern Mutual has taken note of Tiger's commitment to his word and commitment to his community and hopefully other sponsors will as well.

$4 mil is merely a drop in the bucket of tiger's enormous wealth, much of which was unearned because he pulled a fast one on the public with his so-called positive image. now he's merely trying to deal with the guilt.

Stay classy, San Diego.

Was it Bradley or GMac who was so slow in the final group?  The group in front of them had hit their approaches on 18 before the final group even got to 17 tee.

Balzac loosely translated,

"Behind every great fortune there is a crime"

Relative to the misfortune that many now reputable people/families caused in their attainment of wealth.

Tiger is a saint.

No?

I suppose so.

I don't have like $300,000,000.00.

If you do, I am very happy for you.

But seeing Tiger, as successful as he is, keep working, keep grinding, get better

Leave nothing on the table, plan, work, gain advantage, take your shot, don't be content...

Good stuff going into a Monday morning.

do you have to ask Bradley is painfully slow should be something said about it

Technically it is Nike, Rolex, Fusion whatever making up the shortfall for this event. See they give Tiger all this money and he then shuffles 6% of it into this event. Now granted he doesn't have to do this but really he would look like a bit of a stiff if he didn't.

That's what I would have thought as well, but GMac lost a couple of holes on the people in front on Saturday as well when he was playing with Van Pelt.

One of the par three's I saw Bradley must have taken five minutes from putting the ball on the tee to hitting it. He's now incorporated the Mickleson twirl into his preshot routine which he seems like he has to do 10 or 20 times before hitting the ball.

GMac is one of the slowest players out there.  But it's cool because he's Gmac, and he's deliberate, not slow


LOL

I think both of them Gmac and Kb, were aware they were slow.......several times before the camera cut away I saw them running down off the tee or in a very quick walking gate. of course some of the holes Gmac laid up on and in others got into a little trouble.

I think tiger would have made a solid run at winning, had he used a belly putter.   some of his putts were just so amatuerish, many were short and yet others were off line considerably.  I know the greens were wet and slow, but they were for everyone.

I agree but Bradley is even slower,at one point you could see Gmac looking away as if to say hurry the fxxk up but then he seen the cameras on him
