The original title to this golf blog was intended to be something like "Two Huge Draws to Boost Napa Safeway Golf Tournament...Tiger Woods and...?" Unfortunately, days afterTiger Woods had committed to playing golf at the Safeway Tournament in Napa this week, he withdrew.
According to Woods,
"After a number of soul looking and sincere mirrored image, I recognize that I am no longer but equipped to play on the PGA TOUR or compete in Turkey. My fitness is right, and I sense sturdy, but my game is susceptible and now not in which it needs to be."
A practice session proved to Tiger that he was now not but equipped for the big league but why wait till simplest three days earlier than the match? Woods said he "wasn't geared up to compete against the exceptional golfers inside the international." He also apologized and stated that his recreation become near but obviously now not true sufficient.
Ticket income were said to were boosted with the aid of at the very least thirty to forty percent and visibility on TV, radio and social networks would were improved by using greater than any occasion in latest reminiscence, no longer to say advertisers who booked time (likely attached to a healthful sum) primarily based upon Woods' okay.
Wonder what all of those folks are thinking who particularly offered tickets to look the go back of the previous number-one golfer in the international play along of Phil Mickelson? I wager they may need to watch the golfing game for the pure amusement of the sport.
According to Golf Digest, The PGA Tour become so excited at the prospect of a Woods-Mickelson pairing that it launched the records as soon as confirmed; typically, this information isn't always available until the Tuesday earlier than the Tournament! The Safeway Open internet site became said to have a banner which study, "See Tiger, Daily Tickets Only $30. 'Now the banner says, See Phil, Daily Tickets most effective $30." There were reviews of fans soliciting for refunds.
Think about it... what could be more exciting than a return to the greens by one of the greatest golfers of all time, being paired with a current top-ranked player whose back-and-forth duels have been likened to some of the best sports moments in history?
Mentioned on ESPN.Com, "in 1,139 rounds in his PGA Tour career as a seasoned, Woods has been paired with Mickelson just thirty- times -- or less than 3 percentage of their rounds."
I am sure that many golf fans can remember a few of the more exciting Mickelson-Woods moments; my favorite is the 2005 "Duel at Doral" where Phil played his best but where Tiger Woods rallied at sunset to regain the world number one ranking. Sorry folks, not this time.
Mickelson is eager to go together with Woods; Phil and Tiger spent quite a bit of time collectively during the Ryder Cup and cited in an interview final month, "that would be sincerely a laugh. I would like it."
I guess Tiger Woods fans will need to wait till his foundation's "Hero World Challenge" to get a peek at the game long past south of our former hero.
What do the fans consider Tiger's comeback turn-flop proper before the Safeway Tournament?
