Yeah, everyone knows that every tournament has a charitable cause or three (and said that above, although maybe not very clearly), but my question relates to the PGA Tour itself, that is grossing $1.8B. And LPGA, and USTA, etc.^^^The tour is usually in excess of $200M+ each year to charities. The Tour Championship itself gives $5M+ each year to local Atlanta charities, and The Players is around $9M+ to name a couple. They give more than the other big 3 sports combined.
After withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational in February, it sounds like Tiger Woods isn't sure about returning to the Tour. He isn't playing in the Players next week. I bet he does play the Masters.
He wants the USGA record of all time titles to himself. he's tied now. Expect him to chase that at the US Senior Open for a few years. Im sure he will show up at the Masters and play.Have felt for awhile now that Tiger is waiting for the Champions Tour but it seems that he may just be tired from all the injuries and ready to chill the rest of his life. Play a few times a year in events such as the PNC with his son, the Masters, design courses, TGL and continue being a voice for the PGA Tour.
The fat lady is definitely warming up

He is done now.
Champions Tour a go but staying healthy past the age of 50 will be a tall task. Those guys may be older but most are still in great shape for their ages without all the injuries and put in the practice time that he cannot.
Well, before the health issues set in, he did manage to scratch out 82 PGA wins and 15 majors, so not sure that is exactly what JM was predicting.I will never forget when Johnny Miller was the commentator during one of Tiger's first tournaments, he said on the air that Tiger better figure out a way to not swing so hard or he is going to have a lot of health issues later on.
Miller used to get on my nerves something awful, but he was spot on with that call.
Ken Venturi said the same thing. Said it would destroy his back. Nailed it.I will never forget when Johnny Miller was the commentator during one of Tiger's first tournaments, he said on the air that Tiger better figure out a way to not swing so hard or he is going to have a lot of health issues later on.

That hole is brutal when it is windy, which it was yesterday, and will be even windier today.10 balls in the water today so far on the 17th TPC Sawgrass.
