Kaymer now ranked #2
After winning in Abu Dhabi at the HSBC Championship, Martin Kaymer leapfrogged Tiger Woods to #2 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Tiger officially drops to #3.
Kaymer lapped the field by eight shots at -24. The closest competitor was Rory McIlroy at -16. Rounding out the top four were Retief Goosen and Graeme McDowell. That is a heck of a top four. The PGA Tour doesn’t have that kind of firepower playing this week.
World Golf Ranking Needs Tweaking?
I’ve posted this before and I’ll post it again. I still find it amazing that Tiger hasn’t won a tournament since 2009 and he’s still ranked in the top five. And before you comment, yes I know he built up a huge lead in the points…
No big surprise here, but it is now official that Tiger Woods’ first tournament for 2011 is next week in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.
“I’m really looking forward to competing. I’ve been working hard on my game, and I’m excited about 2011.” ~Tiger Woods
Tiger has won his last five starts at Torrey Pines, including the mega-exciting playoff victory over Rocco Mediate in the 2008 US Open.
Tiger Loses Another Endorsement Deal
Due to their inability to settle on a new contract, Tiger Woods will no longer be providing articles for Golf Digest after 13 years. That contract was his 2nd longest endorsement deal behind Nike, beginning in 1997.
I’m not a big magazine reader and I can honestly say I’ve never read one of these articles.
Tiger turns 35 today
Today is Tiger Woods’ 35th birthday.
Happy birthday from HOG to TW.
As of December 31, a day after Tiger Woods’ birthday, Gillette’s contract with Tiger will be done and it will not be renewed.
Twitter and every other social network are buzzing like an electric shaver about this, so I thought I might as well mention it for those of you who live in a cave and prefer to get your golf news exclusively from HOG!
Next Tiger endorsement loss expected to be ad space on his teeth
HOG crack blog sources tell me the next endorsement to fall from Tiger Woods will be the advertising contract for his front left tooth. I’ll post more details later as they become available.
