i bet anyone 50 bucks tiger doesn't play in a tourney two weeks before the PGA, and if he does, he's gonna try not to win.

That's because Mark Calcavecchia is fat and out of shape. I'm sure Watson probably works out. How else is he still competing at that age.

No disrespect towards Tiger, but I have trouble feeling sorry for him at all for missing the cut.

cabrera cant really be a weird champion at the masters seeing as he was already a major winner before it can he?

Yeah, I was debating this before I added his name....but then I thought

"what else has Cabrera won except 2 Majors?" That makes him even goofier.

is that because he'll be playing the week before the major instead seeing as its the bridgestone :)

I really like this course. Missing the fairway can leave you with a terrible lie. Makes the tournament a lot more unpredictable. Many players on the PGA Tour take the risk of finding the rough since it's cut fairly short and easy to play off. Here however, you do not want to go far from the fairway, or you'll be in deep grass.

Makes the accurate players blossom. Just finding the ball can he a huge problem, we often see spectators looking around for the ball. Too bad for the players of course, but exciting to watch for sure.

When was the last time Tiger missed a cut?

"

It is the first time Woods has missed a cut since the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot, where he was playing for the first time since the death of his father, Earl, in May of that year. " Source: http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/briti...ory?id=4337152

Coverage is AWFUL this morning.. I've been watching since 7am and seen maybe 10 shots.. Shut the F up and show me some golf

ABC came on at 9am EST and it's 9:25 and haven't seen someone play a shot yet

[senorchipotle]

Why is the course so dam empty? I thought people liked golf over there? Honestly, there isn't a gallery more than half full...
