Deutsche Bank Championship Tees Off on Friday

The Deutsche Bank Championship runs Friday to Monday, different from any other event on the PGA tour this year.

For those not familiar with the schedule, the Deutsche Bank Championship will begin the first round on Friday, September 3rd, 2004. This means a final round on Monday, September 6th, the only tournament this year with a final scheduled round on a Monday.

If you’re like me, you realized that today was Thursday and went to the Web to see what the latest scores were only to find that nobody had teed off yet. On the bright side, I won’t have this problem again this year.

The Tadalafil Open

The Western Open has a new title sponsor… a sexual potency drug.

It’s hip to say that sports has “sold-out” in the name of the almighty dollar, but the Cialis® (tadalafil) Western Open has done just that.

The oldest non-major tournament on the PGA tour, with esteemed past champions that include Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, and Tiger Woods is title-sponsored by a sexual potency drug. I can just hear it now: “Son, I remember Tiger winning The Masters, The US Open and three Cialis Western Opens.” Very Nice.

Apparently, The PGA Tour was hurting pretty badly for sponsors, and the only taboos are “hard alcohol and tobacco” companies. Why? How is the Baccardi Western Open worse than the Cialis Western Open? It’s not, but money talks, and the world keeps spinning.
