"Golf is an individual sport. But it's about time Woods acts like a team player. Will he?"
/Nice spot by John Strege who saw Mark Reason's slightly buried criticism of Tiger Woods that was fleshed out by Hank Gola in the New York Daily News. Both were feeding off of Tiger's comments about helping sponsors out. Gola called the good folks at Doral to see how his last second committal went over:
It was getting late Thursday afternoon at the headquarters of the CA Championship at Doral, and Tournament Director Eddie Carbone and his staff were getting anxious. Every 15 minutes, someone would check Tiger Woods' Web site and scroll down to "Next Event."
The answer was the same into Friday: TBA.
"We figured it out," Carbone said after Woods finally committed, three hours before the 5 p.m. Friday deadline. "We personally put 136,000 and change hits on the Tiger Woods Foundation Web site."
I have the fix: 100 extra FedEx Cup points for early Tiger committals? What? Not enough incentive? You are so cynical.
