Hello again golf fans and welcome to another edition of Hittin’ the Links. The Players Championship certainly didn’t disappoint this weekend. The TPC Sawgrass is one of the very best tournament courses to watch on television. While it isn’t a major, The Players is just a little more than a regular Tour stop.
In this latest edition of HTL, we begin by taking a look at Tiger’s future, then turn our attention to John Daly’s tournament schedule, and see what kept Lee Westwood out of the winners circle. Also, we investigate an unruly fan, find out who talked trash to Tiger, and do a wrap-up of Tim Clark’s win in Florida. Read on!
