Today In The Tiger Rumor Mill: Buying Taylor Made And Restoring A South Shore Course For Free?

/

Both rumors center around someone not known for opening his wallet or doing anything for free, so pinch those grains of salt!

But here goes, starting with the Taylor Made purchase rumor as Tweeted by Rick Young at Score Golf.


More realistic though still going very much against the grain of his tendency to not donate services is the possibility that Woods will be the architect restoring/redesigning Jackson Park, with developer Mike Keiser in a consulting role. 

Teddy Greenstein reports for the Chicago Tribune on the latest involving Mark Rolfing's well-intentioned dream of restoring Jackson Park for both golfers and maybe tour pros.

Rolfing cautioned that Woods' hiring is "not a done deal," but he told the Tribune the 14-time major winner visited Chicago in the last month to tour the property. An announcement could come later this month at the Ryder Cup outside Minneapolis. Woods is an assistant captain for the U.S. team.

"There are so many tentacles to the project," Rolfing said. "There may be room for more than one person."

Woods' spokesman, Glenn Greenspan, said via email: "At this time, we have no new design projects to announce."
