UPDATE -- For the latest reports on Tiger Woods' Wednesday absence from the Players course, go to this YAHOO! News Service Search Link . Put in either Tiger Woods or Earl Woods, and sift thru the results.

Click-on here for the 2006 Players Championship Media Links and Purse Info

If and when a change to the Players purse-1st prize is announced, I will update the web-page.

Right now, the most important Players Championship media link is this one -- 2006 Field

It has not changed sinced Monday Morning. Today is "D-Day" for Camilo Villegas, Nathan Green, Bubba Watson and the other alternates.

The only senior in the field is Loren Roberts - 93rd on the 2005 Official Money List.

Three players qualified solely on the strength of 10-year exemptions: Nick Faldo (96 Masters), Steve Jones (96 US Open) and Mark Brooks (96 PGA). How many of you remember that it was Kenny Perry who Brooks beat in a playoff?

Because of a change in the 2006 qualifications, Ryan Moore, out 6-8 weeks after hand surgery, was not eligible for the event. Graeme McDowell was also a victim of the criteria change.

Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

Frank, while we appreciate what you do, please participate in the forums in more than a "here's a link to my site" manner. Otherwise, it's just barely more than spam.

For example, we invited you to participate in the podcast to talk about the "double cut" thing - even sent you a PM - and we didn't even hear from you.

Thank you for the advice. For the Masters and beyond, I'll put all vital links directly on the bulletin board. I have added comments to the original post.

With regard to Podcast - due to budget and time constraints, I am unable to take advantage of those services at this time.

Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

As most know by now, Camilo Villegas was added to the field on Wednesday following Chris DiMarco's withdrawal (minor rib injury).

Early Thursday morning, 1991 and 1997 Players champion Steve Elkington withdrew (reason not yet known). Nathan Green took his spot.

Bubba Watson is now the next alternate in line.

At present, Tiger Woods is still expected to be back at TPC-Sawgrass in time for his 12:33 PM EST Tee Time.

The purse/1st prize is apparently going to remain at $8,000,000/$1,440,000.

Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
