\"Hittin'Buenos días golf fans and welcome to another edition of Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. How sweet it must be for Steve Williams to watch his new boss win his first World Golf Championship. That being said this whole break-up thing is getting a tad ridiculous. The bickering back and forth about how it went down sounds like it should be coming from a junior high girls’ bathroom. Grow up a bit Stevie, cash the big check your boss just gave you, and move on with your life.<\/p>\n

In this edition of HtL<\/em> we begin with the cutest golf swing of all time, then investigate who left Tiger this time, and find out why Rory is leaning towards the PGA Tour next year. Also on tap, we take a peek at the official site of the 93rd PGA Championship, check out the soap opera that is the separation of Stevie and Tiger, and do a wrap-up of the week’s events. Read on!
