Good news for Tiger addicts, he’s playing this week in Shanghai at the WGC HSBC Champions, Sheshan International golf course. Phil Mickelson and many other bigs will be there too. So late in the season (snow has flown here already but melted) we can watch some good golf on TV this week.

Phil Mickelson has confirmed he’ll be playing in the final major of the year, the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine. This is good.
Will the fourth and final major of the year have a big name winner? So far, no big names like Phil, Tiger, Sergio…
My hat is off to the Mickelson family after the news that Phil’s mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer, six weeks following Phil’s wife Amy’s same diagnosis.
Cancer is evil. It took my beloved mother, a great lady, from me.
I send all my best Karma to the Mickelson family.
Here’s a link to a more detailed AP article at golf.com, but the article is poorly written.
Sports Illustrated has released a top 50 list of the highest paid athletes in America. This includes salary and endorsements. Hey, they should get together with Golf Digest since they love doing lists like that.
Anyway, Tiger Woods ($99.7 million) and Phil Mickelson ($52.9 million) are the top two highest paid athletes! Tiger has been #1 for six straight years. Golf wins over football, basketball and baseball! And the careers are so much longer. If I only could have taken up the sport earlier than 1990.
Here’s a link to the SI article but be careful. The popup ads are so pervasive they’ll almost jump out of your monitor and bash you in the head with a 9-iron. The ads are so bad in fact, that I couldn’t even get page four to load because they were taking so long to load. So I bailed.
Looking at these salaries and endorsements is interesting. Golf is the only “sport” other than Nascar where the “athlete” earns more in endorsements than in salary.
