Wow how about this group? Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer are paired up Thursday for the first round of the Dubai Desert Classic. There are all sorts of world ranking implications, depending on where the players finish. I’ll post the Dubai Desert Classic TV times and channels soon.
Tiger wins regardless of the outcome
Regardless of whether or not Tiger wins this tournament or even makes the cut, he’s the true winner. He’ll be pocketing a $3 million appearance fee for showing up.
I’d like to save the United Arab Emirates a few bucks and offer myself for this position. I’d do it for less dough than Tiger. Let me know. My clubs are ready.
I have to give credit to writer Steve Elling for tweeting a great quote “Abandoned Dunes” in commenting about the termination of construction of Tiger Woods’ signature golf course in Dubai….
Abandoned Dunes
Due to being hit by the economic recession, the developers of the $1 billion Tiger Woods course and real estate venture have put further construction on hold. The few holes of golf course which are completed will no longer be watered and may soon “return to sand.”
The development was slated to feature over 30,000 imported trees, a high end hotel, a golf school, 22 palaces, 75 mansions and 100 villas.

I created a Twitter list which only shows Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter so you can follow along as Ian and Lee give Tiger some grief and ask him to join in the banter.

Here’s your chance to ask Tiger Woods a question. Five minutes ago Tiger mentioned that he was on his way to Torrey Pines and was going to answer some questions on Twitter.
I sent in a question. Why not? We’ll see if I get an answer.
Ian Poulter is giving Tiger a bunch of grief on there, asking him to join in the funny banter between himself, Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy and the other super golf tweeters.
I wonder if Tiger will take the bait?
I created a Twitter list containing Poulter, Westwood and Tiger so you can follow just their conversation: http://bit.ly/eCz0a9
