Turkish Airports On Alert For Players Smuggling Absurd Amounts Of Appearance Cash Out Of Country

The players, the press, everyone who had their way paid just had a swell time at the Turkey Final taking gobs of money for a few days of inspired work. No one sounded like he was having more fun than the headbutting Turkish Golf President Ahmet Agaoglu, who played with Tiger Woods in Friday's post-tournament pro-am.

Bernie McGuire reports (thanks reader Oliver for making me read to the end of a story I normally would not have gotten through):

Agaoglu was asked if he was nervous playing with Woods.

"I'm not nervous but what I want to do is make him nervous, as I will own him for the next four or five hours," he said with a smile. "I paid for him to be here in Turkey, so he's my property this afternoon."

Woods was reportedly paid a $3 million appearance fee to compete in Turkey. He also earned $600,000 as a semifinalist.
