Transitions Championship
Sergio Garcia
The Transitions Championship is this week. There has been a lot of press about Sergio Garcia’s return and how exciting that is. Unless he’s undergone a complete brain transplant, I’m not sure the prospect of Sergio’s return is all that great to me. Time will tell if he does come into the game with a better attitude and actually enjoys it. He was tough to watch last year, dragging his wrists on the fairways and all slumped over. Very depressing.
Garcia is already playing his 2nd round, and has gotten himself to -6 which is one shot behind the current leaders.
Bay Hill/Masters
Tiger Woods
Despite the fact that the Transitions Championship is this week, it seems that there’s been more coverage about the fact that Tiger Woods has committed to playing Bay Hill next week. News flash: Tiger playing the Arnold Palmer Invitational isn’t news. Tiger ALWAYS plays Bay Hill. You can set your clock by it. And more big news is that Tiger has officially committed to play the Masters. Oh really? I thought he was going to skip The Masters and rest up for playing the Texas Open the following week.
Phil Mickelson
Phil Mickelson has confirmed Bay Hill and the Shell Houston Open on his schedule as a tune up for The Masters. Some golf scribes are already saying that Phil isn’t physically what he was due to the arthritis, and that we’ve seen the best of him come and go. They say he won’t win the Masters. I don’t think you can use the tournaments prior to the Masters as a gauge any more. Phil gets so geared up for Augusta and loves that tournament/course so much I think we won’t know the state of his real game until then. And I hope he wins another one.
Jhonny Vegas/Masters
It is cool to see the comments on Twitter by some of the players who are about to be playing their first Masters. I felt so happy for Jhonnatan Vegas when he Tweeted and shot a picture coming down Magnolia Lane. I doubt he’ll really tear up Augusta for his first time, but he does have the game to do it.
Fred Funk
So I’m mentioning all these super big guns on the PGA Tour and the next highlight is Fred Funk? That’s because I just finished an interview with Fred. Stay tuned for that interview coming up soon.
Tiger Woods tees off at the 2011 Tavistock Cup
The two day Tavistock Cup is now over. Fun to watch some of the world’s best play competitive golf on a Monday and Tuesday.
Team Lake Nona has won with a score of -43, 16 shots ahead of 2nd place team Albany.

Individual “Payne Stewart Salver Award”
Oliver Wilson wins the individual event within the event, called the Payne Stewart Salver Award with a score of -7. Wilson’s scorecard makes it look like he was playing an executive course with eight 3’s and a 2. He finished with four 3’s in a row.

Golf scribes, Tiger Woods fans and Tiger Woods haters are all excited now. Tiger has confirmed that he’ll play in the WGC Championship at Doral next week.
How do you think Tiger will finish? Or perhaps I should ask first if you think Tiger will make the cut?
Before you haters write Tiger off, consider that he has won this event six times…
