Tiger as God

Now that the FedEx points business is over, we can all genuflect on Tiger's true ascension to "Golf-Godliness." My head aches are finally starting to diminish from trying to understand FedEx points and money not actually earned. Methinks I really didn't need to re-learn the actuarial concept of the "future worth of present dollars." Because, in the end, the whole FedEx business didn't matter. Tiger (Duh!) wins. When asked during a press conference after the tournament if he thought he was in his prime,
Tiger said:
"When all is said and done, when you rack the cue and go home and retire, you can honestly say these were my best years, when I was at my peak. But when you're in it, you're always trying to improve that a little bit to get to the next level."
Tiger added that his daddy taught him that winning solves everything.

No Shit! By any standard, when Tiger enters a tournament the "field" is playing for second place. If he's not god, he's golf's first billionaire. For now, Tiger's going to take the next three months off. His offspring, "Baby Moses" (er Sam Woods) is now officially a major trust-funder, thanks to the FedEx annuity and the $100 million dollar Gatorade contract her daddy's about to sign. Watch for Tiger on your TV screens soon, sweating orange Gatorade.
Contrary to popular belief, The PGA Tour does not end with The Tour Championship. The PGA Tour has invented another segment called, "The Fall Series," whereby the "have-nots" can make some cash to keep playing next year without Tiger in the field. He's only scheduled to appear in two events for the rest of the year, next week's President's Cup and his own Target Championship in December.

Just like Tiger, I need some rest too. The leaves are doing their colorful death dance in the Northwest and it's time to start layering on the long underwear and trying to find my Winter golf gloves. Lucky you.....for a couple of months you all won't have to read my "weekly golf drivel." I'll email/fax you the PGA Tour schedule for 2008 sometime in December. Pass the word along if you know anyone who would like to join us for next year.
Congratulations to our three winners. Well done! Your checks are in the mail!
