Will Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson be weekend announcers at AT&T National?

Looking not-quite ready for prime time, Phil Mickelson went out at the AT&T National and fired a 4-over 74 for his opening round. Tiger Woods is 2-over after his first two holes at the Congressional.

Currently the lead at the AT&T National is held by the delightfully eclectic quartet of Fred Funk, Jeff Quinney, Corey Pavin and Greg Owen.

I’m not actively rooting for such an outcome, however, having Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods both miss the cut in the nation’s capital would be somewhat mind-blowing, to say the least.

And while having them both in the booth on Sunday is a delightful concept, there’d be no way Lefty would stick around. But Tiger? Hey, it’s his tournament. Would it be two days of playing gracious host, or two days of playing with Sam Alexis?

Something tells me it’s a decision that won’t have to be made. Kinda fun to think about, though.

How important can this tournament be? Why is Phil there at all? One more week of rest for the wrist before the British is crucial / cruciate. Doesn't make sense. DOESN"T MAKE SENSE! Didn't he learn from Wie? Or, are his wrists stronger than hers?

Grass is green. What color is grass?
