Tiger Trying To Wrap His Head Around The Wraparound Schedule

Bob Harig covered several of the topics from Tiger's pre-World Challenge conference call and shared this about the PGA Tour's new calendar-year schedule.

"The whole idea of ending the season earlier was to give us a bigger break," Woods said. "Guys were taking their breaks basically in October and sometimes even into November, then going down to either South Africa or Australia and playing those events in December. You had a month or two off where guys would take their breaks because of the FedExCup ending earlier at the end of September, then guys would go support their home countries either in South Africa, Australia, or the American players would go down there to play to get ready for the following year.

"It's going to be interesting to find our break time now with this scheduling. It's new to all of us, this wraparound schedule."

Some of you longtime readers will recall that I believe the West Coast swing--when the most eyeballs are traditionally watching the PGA Tour on television--serving as break time.
