Did anyone see the video? Tiger hit into the group ahead of him that
was still on the green. What was up with that?

it's really not that interesting, but if you must know... I had the
local news on while I was doing other stuff, and half caught the
"highlight". I either wasn't paying attention when they gave the
explanation, or maybe they didn't even give an explanation since they
need to squeeze the whole day's sports news into 5 minutes.

OK, I was just afraid that Pitts had started a newsletter, and didn't
invite me.

I am interested to learn where you saw an account of his hitting into
the next group without seeing the explanation for it.

How did you miss it, it was all over the place, PGA TOUR.com,
Sportsline, Fox News-Golf, et al. Here is one account
The green is not visible from the tee, blocked by a thick forest of
stunted pines, and Woods said he didn't see the caddie's yellow flag
warning that the green was still occupied.
"We saw no flag so I went ahead," Woods said. "I thought they were off
the green and they weren't, so I had to apologize when I got up there."

Thanks for the explanation. I assumed that Tiger didn't do it on
purpose, not know how far his ball would travel, or forgot protocol.

Odd that Tiger seems to have mustered up desire and strength to play the
last 2 weeks outside the US when he couldn't make the tournament a few
weeks back because he was tired.
By the way, how much money to appear is he making on these last 2 weeks?

He got 5 million dollars to play in China. How much he gets for the
tournament in Japan, I don't know.
Was very nice of him to rest up for those tournaments, though, and
skip the Tour Championship ;-)

Gee, good for him. I'm glad to see he'll be able to make ends meet this
Christmas. Glad too he took that rest. Guess he wanted to play well for
the good ol' USA. Then again, there was that Ryder Cup ;-(

Tiger is helping to grow golf in Asia. Given his half Asian heritage it's
like giving back. For just a little $$$$.

It was a blind shot, and according to TW, the flag intended to indicate the
green was still occupied was not out. He was really apologetic - it wasn't
just a case of "they're in my way, screw 'em".

In 2001, at the FBR Open in Phoenix, Andrew Magee aced the par 4,
17th. The previous group was still on the green and Magee's ball hit a
club lying on the green and rolled in for the only ace on a par 4 in
PGA history... nobody on the green, the ball rolls to the back and no
hole-in-one! Take advantage of every bit of help that you can get! :}

You're really grasping for something aren't you? 12 majors muthafucka.

If you think I was trying to knock on Tiger, I wasn't. I'm a Tiger fan,
just asking a question.
