Just for fun.

I stumbled upon this by accident. Its totally worth watching :)

The early bird gets the worm?

Tiger Woods recently added two more tournaments to his PGA schedule. In recent years Tiger has always waited until the final day or even the final moment before committing to a tournament but he appears to be starting a new trend. He signed up for the Quail Hollow Championship eight days before the deadline and the Players Championship nine days before. The early commitments will allow these tournaments extra

time to promote his appearance as well as to make the necessary adjustments for the increase in fans and additional security precautions. Tiger is thinking ahead, and doing things to ensure that he puts his best face forward.

"Tiger Woods Affair Tour 2010" Sex Life Video Game

ReD-Dub Software just released their new video game "Tiger Woods Affair Tour 2010," a game that features Tiger Woods fighting drinking and having sex with porn stars. Players walk in the shoes of Tiger woods and try to have sex with as many women as possible. Players get points for how often they score and can get additional lives based on the number of orgasms they give and receive. Certain erotic sex acts are good for scoring extra points.

Eww.. It's hard for me to even post on this. The people that would create such a sexually erotic video game are disgusting and the people that spend their free time playing are disturbed. Get a life, meet a girl, have your own sex life. I guarantee it will be better than Tiger Woods' virtual orgasm.

Schedule Change for U.S. Open.

The US. Golf Association noticed what Tiger did for the ratings of the Agusta National Masters tournament and plans to cash in on the infectious curiosity that has been surrounding the golf superstar. Woods recently committed to playing in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in Monterrey, California this coming June. The U.S. Golf Association (USGA) has moved the match play to later in the day so that the tournament can be aired during prime-time, when advertising rates are much higher. The USGA is hoping that this move to prime time will both increase ratings and also revenue gained from advertisers. They must have some smarties working up there for the USGA.

SNL Tiger Woods spoof

Not only is Tiger Woods considered one of the worlds top golfers but he has also earned his spot as a national punch line. Shortly after Tiger's Saturday round at Augusta National Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live stared in a skit as one of Tigers "girlfriends" Ashland St. Cloud.



Tina Fey's return to SNL dew an estimated 9.2 million viewers over the weekend making it more viewed than anything on prime time TV this past weekend.

ESPN's "Masters" coverage.

According to MSNBC 4.94 million people tuned into ESPN's opening round coverage last week, 47% more than last year. The reason was no secret, the world was watching to see how Woods looked, acted and importantly played golf since returning from his self imposed hiatus.

ESPN reacted to this specific interest by keeping viewers updated all day displaying Woods' score more frequently than informing the public about the overall standings of the Masters. Hourly updates while woods played and when he wasn't the network continually showed clips of each previously played drive and putt.

This coverage was less about golf and more about the celebrity commodity that is Tiger Woods. It was also a smart business strategy by ESPN keeping the ratings high by giving the viewers what they want, not straight golf coverage of relatively unknown participants but Tigers play by play throughout the weekend.

My question remains, is this the type of sports coverage that is expected or do we as viewers want a more complete coverage of a tournament or event?

To most, without Tiger Woods golf is just golf, the preferred sport of middle aged business men. Blah.

Has Tiger Changed?

Bill Payne the Augusta National chairman commented on Tiger's etiquette on the course last week.

"It is not simply the degree of his conduct that is so egregious here, its the fact that he disappointed all of us, and more important our kids and our grandkids. Is there a way forward? I hope yes. I think yes. But certainly his future will never again be measured only by his performance against par, but measure by the sincerity of his efforts to change"

Woods has never really adopted the age-old golf model of grace in defeat or even in victory and Augusta showed little effort to change. He has always been known for his cursing and self-scolding after an unfortunate shot. Tiger failed to mend this bad habit and responded to a short shot with "Tiger Woods, you suck! Goddammit!" In a post round remark he said, "I only enter events to wind, and I didn't get it done." After his disappointing performance he failed to congratulate the winner, Phil Mickelson or acknowledge the tournament founders. Instead he stomped off the course,  jumped into his Chevy Suburban and quickly drove away with his shades on and eyes facing forward.

If what Mr. Payne said is true, although Tiger finished fourth his overall performance grades at the Augusta National were definitely unsatisfactory.
