The PGA, WWE or A Three Ring Circus?

Every so often I like to check in and see what is going on in the professional world of golf. It never ceases to amaze me the crap that actually happens. I get the feeling the PGA operates in a world of it's own. I know, I know...sad.

Let's start with Mr. Steve Williams. If you haven't been following, Tiger's ex-caddie blurted out a comment about his former boss at a recent caddies' awards party. The comment might have been considered a racist slur but Woods confirmed Williams is not a racist. The part I find amazing is there's actually a caddies' awards party...interesting.

If it was baseball, basketball or football, forget it; the media coverage would rival that of the Kardashian wedding. The feds would have gotten involved and there would have been a hearing or two. Since it's the PGA, the two spoke, shook hands and are moving forward like nothing happened.

Here's what I think: This boisterous caddie loved the attention he was getting with Tiger. Now that it's gone, he pulls this crap to be back in the spotlight. I don't know about you but I foresee Williams being a candidate for another award...Jack Ass Of The Year. Let's have a party for that.

Speaking of awards, the PGA has also decided to not award a 2011 Comeback Player Of The Year. Are they saving it for Tiger? Come on, there isn't one person on the tour that can be a possible candidate? If I followed the tour I'm sure I could nominate someone. I find it hard to believe not one golfer on the tour deserves this.

What the heck is going on? I understand that this is not a prestigious award but I'm sure it will mean a lot to someone who busted their ass to make a comeback. No? So, what you are saying is that every pro golfer on the tour did exactly the same. I don't get it...this is why I only check in every so often.

Hit'em long...yell FORE!!! Keep it real.

It's Like That Tiger...Really?

In case you have not heard, Tiger Woods has decided to fire his long-time caddie Steve Williams. The same man who is perhaps the epitome of loyalty. Not only being a great caddie to Tiger, but also a close friend. Through all the crap that Tiger has been through, this man had his back.

This really boggles my mind. I would think that at a time like this you would want people like Mr. Williams around you. Let's face it though, Tiger hasn't really been too active on the tour this season. Which would result in Steve not having much work. I'm sure he's pretty busy but those pay days he used to get when Tiger won were pretty sweet. Now it seems like he's only a spectator.

So what compelled El Tigre to fire him? I mean is he going to carry the bag himself? I know alimony and child support can be a bitch but come on! No need to cut corners there. What kind of strategy has the caublanasian kid concocted? I guess we will have to wit and see.

Currently, Tiger has dropped to #20 in the world rankings, he changed his coach, he's battling injury and there's still fragmentation of his scandal floating around. I guess why not dump the best caddie you ever had? That'll fix the problems, right Tiger? This reminds me of Rocky 5 when Tommy Gunn drops team Balboa and goes with that Don King wannabe. The end result is never good. Maybe Tiger needs a visit from Mr. Balboa?

Hit'em long...yell FORE!!!
