\"PGAPlaying 20 questions with today’s top golfers has always been a personal dream of mine, aside from playing wiffle ball on the floor of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. Well The PGA of America has beat me to it. They were able to ask the 2005 Grand Slam of Golf participants<\/a>, being the winners of this year’s four major tournaments Tiger Woods, Michael Campbell, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh, 20 questions about their interests. With questions from their favorite golf hole inside of the U.S. and outside of the U.S. to their favorite male and female athlete.
\n
\nHere are the questions and answers with some quick commentary thrown in:<\/p>\n

\n

1. Favorite Course, U.S.?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: August National
\nMichael Campbell: Pinehurst No. 2
\nPhil Mickelson: Whisper Rock
\nVijay Singh: Augusta National<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Great choices from all four, although I thought Phil would have chosen Augusta as well since his first major win was born there. Good advertisement for his trademark course though.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Favorite Golf Hole, U.S.?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: Cypress Point, Hole 16
\nMichael Campbell: Pinehurst, Hole 17
\nPhil Mickelson: Augusta National, Hole 12
\nVijay Singh: Pebble Beach, Hole 18<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Leave it to Tiger to pick one of the most challenging holes in golf as his favorite.<\/p>\n

\n

3. Favorite Course Outside U.S.?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: St. Andrews, Old Course
\nMichael Campbell: Kauri Cliffs, New Zealand
\nPhil Mickelson: St. Andrews, Old Course
\nVijay Singh: Ballybunion Golf Links<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Although I have never been to New Zealand or let alone played Kauri Cliffs, just by checking out their web site<\/a> I can say that it is one of my favorite courses outside of the U.S. as well. Good choice Mike!<\/p>\n

\n

7. One Mulligan You’d Like to Take?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: No mulligans in golf
\nMichael Campbell: My 2nd shot at the 5th hole at St. Andrews, final round of 1995 Open
\nPhil Mickelson: Tee shot on 17 at 2004 U.S. Open
\nVijay Singh: Final round of 2002 Masters, Hole 15 third shot<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let it be known to never drop another ball following a thinly struck 3-iron while in Tiger’s group.<\/p>\n

\n

8. Favorite Club in Your Bag?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: All 14
\nMichael Campbell: Callaway FT3 driver
\nPhil Mickelson: Putter
\nVijay Singh: Putter<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Michael Campbell’s favorite thing to do tomorrow will be to pull the Callaway bonus check out of the mailbox.<\/p>\n

\n

9. Oldest Club in Your Bag?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: Putter, 6 years
\nMichael Campbell: Putter
\nPhil Mickelson: Putter
\nVijay Singh: Cleveland 3-wood<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To all of you ladies out there: never get between a man and his putter by selling it in the garage sale because you thought it was old.<\/p>\n

\n

10. Best Golf Book You Have Read, Not Written By You?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: “Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf” by Ben Hogan
\nMichael Campbell: “Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf” by Ben Hogan
\nPhil Mickelson: “Who’s Your Caddy” by Rick Reilly (A Good Laugh)
\nVijay Singh: “The Natural” by Sam Snead<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Can’t go wrong with Sports Illustrated’s Rick Reilly.<\/p>\n

\n

11. Last Time You Bought a Golf Ball?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: In college
\nMichael Campbell: When I was 12 years old
\nPhil Mickelson: No idea
\nVijay Singh: 2003<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What was Vijay doing buying golf balls in 2003?<\/p>\n

\n

12. All-Time Favorite Movie?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: “Caddyshack”
\nMichael Campbell: “Star Wars”
\nPhil Mickelson: “Usual Suspects”
\nVijay Singh: “Forrest Gump”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Forrest Gump just doesn’t fit the profile of Vijay.<\/p>\n

\n

13. Favorite TV Show?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: ESPN Sports Center
\nMichael Campbell: “Friends”
\nPhil Mickelson: “The Practice”
\nVijay Singh: “CSI”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Maybe “Friends” hasn’t been cancelled in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\n

14. Who would be in your dream foursome?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones
\nMichael Campbell: Gene Simmons, Michael Jordan, Nicole Kidman
\nPhil Mickelson: Amanda Mickelson, Sophia Mickelson, Evan Mickelson
\nVijay Singh: Qass Singh, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Amy Mickelson would be on my list.<\/p>\n

\n

15. Favorite Male Athlete?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: Michael Jordan
\nMichael Campbell: Lance Armstrong
\nPhil Mickelson: Too many favorites!
\nVijay Singh: Lance Armstrong<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Too many favorites or you felt as if it was wrong to name yourself?<\/p>\n

\n

16. Favorite Female Athlete?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: Mia Hamm
\nMichael Campbell: Sarah Ulmer
\nPhil Mickelson: Too many favorites!
\nVijay Singh: Serena Williams<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ditto.<\/p>\n

\n

18. Favorite Sporting Event, Non-Golf?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: Baseball World Series
\nMichael Campbell: Olympic Games
\nPhil Mickelson: NFL Football
\nVijay Singh: World Cup of Soccer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Olympic Games would be more interesting if they replaced table tennis with golf.<\/p>\n

\n

19. Who Would You Buy a Ticket to Watch?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: Ali vs. Frazier (1, 2 & 3)
\nMichael Campbell: U2 in Concert
\nPhil Mickelson: San Diego Chargers
\nVijay Singh: Pink Floyd in Concert<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With the Chargers being 5-4, Phil could probably get a really good seat for around $20.<\/p>\n

\n

20. Favorite Musician or Group?<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods: Van Halen, Prince, Janet Jackson, Madonna
\nMichael Campbell: Kiss
\nPhil Mickelson: REM
\nVijay Singh: Pink Floyd<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It would have been a great masculine list if Tiger would have stopped at his first choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
