Click here to listen. The rumor mill, once it gains momentum, just doesn’t seem to let up. The discussion of the possible split between Tiger Woods and Hank Haney appears to have been initially fueled by that ever-effusive announcer, Johnny Miller, during the FedEx Cup playoffs. Miller insinuated that the newly enhanced swing of Tiger Woods was a blend of both Harmon’s and Haney’s instruction. But aren’t all of us products of our environment? It would be ludicrous to believe otherwise and so, in my opinion, Johnny Miller made an astute judgment. Techniques taught to Woods by Butch Harmon over nine years ...

Click here to listen. Tiger Woods has endorsed many products in his illustrious career, from American Express cards to the Nike Sasquatch driver. Woods’ likeness appears in his own video game with EA Sports. He drives a Buick in advertisements for General Motors and wears his Tag Heuer watch proudly in print media. It’s about time Tiger Woods added an energy drink to his stable of goods, isn’t it? Who better than Gatorade, a driving force in the burgeoning athletic beverage industry, to help make it a golf course staple! But will this new “birdie-in-a-bottle” (as Barry calls it), scheduled to make it’s ...

Although Nike is still standing behind Michelle Wie even after her horrendous showing at the Samsung World Championship, her agent, Greg Nared, has parted company with both Wie and the William Morris Agency. It is understood that an agent who quits is quite common, but, in my opinion, Nared should be given a raise for hanging around Camp Wie for as long as he did (one year, so far her worst!). He consulted with Wie on the sixteenth hole of the Ginn Tribute where Wie was dangerously close to an all-time high score of 88 and I’m sure ...

In most parts of the world, Michelle Wie is now considered an adult. In South Korea, however, Michelle will legally be considered an adolescent until she turns nineteen. Maybe that explains some recent instances of her irresponsible, childlike behavior. 1. She left Annika Sorenstam’s tournament, the Ginn Tribute, early and without any explanation to the host. As of the Samsung Tournament, Wie still feels as if she did nothing wrong and has never physically conferred with Sorenstam. Here are Wie’s thoughts, “I still don’t feel like I did something wrong but if I felt if Annika, or anyone felt like I disrespected ...

Click here to listen. Michelle Wie has finally slipped below the top-fifty golfers on the official Rolex Rankings. Obviously, Samsung World Championship officials have not had the opportunity to view the latest rankings because, if they had done their homework, I’m sure they might have discussed an alternate approach to the teenager who was given this special exemption. Does Michelle Wie deserve an accolade designed for an elite field consisting of the defending champ, the LET money leader, the four major championship winners and the balance of the top-twenty on the money list? But, then again, put yourself in her position. Would you give ...

Click here to listen. Tiger Woods scrambled to keep pace in his Presidents Cup singles match against Mike Weir, that is a given. Not many can make a comeback as Woods did on Sunday, rebounding from a three-hole deficit halfway through the match but Tiger confirmed one thing and that is, it can be done. Although Woods conceded the final hole handing the win to Weir, he got his round back on track. As Weir acknowledged, “He didn’t have his best day and I had my best day. That’s the way you’re going to beat the best player.” Granted we are not in ...
