A Couple of Finishes at Bay Hill When Tiger Won

Leave a reply

This is the week of Bay Hill, and the first time it’s been played since Arnold Palmer passed away. Ā There is no Tiger this week, and he’s won the tournament eight (8!!!) times. Ā NBC just showed a highlight of Tiger’s winning putt in 2009, but I was hoping they would have shown Tiger’s winning putt from 2008 (yes, he won both years with a birdie on the 72nd hole).

I prefer the 2008 finish because he threw his hat.

Here is the putt from 2008.

Here is the 2009 finish.

And then here is Arnold Palmer’s final full shot in a PGA event (at Bay Hill in 2004 at the age of 74).

UPDATE: So the tweet I originally linked to was removed, but here is a link of some Tiger highlights from round 1 of the Hero World Challenge.

Tiger Woods Withdraws from Safeway Open

Leave a reply

Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the Safeway Open, according to Golf.com. It was just on Friday that Tiger committed to playing in the event, and now 3.5 days later he has decided to withdraw.

The reason given is that he feels his game is not ready to play against the top competition. Also included in today’s news is Tiger will also not be playing Turkish Airlines Open, which he had previously suggested playing.

“After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA Tour or compete in Turkey,” Woods said on his website. “My health is good, and I feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to be. When I announced last week I was going to Safeway, I had every intention of playing, or I wouldn’t have committed.”

Hopefully Tiger will be back for his own event, the Hero World Challenge, in December.
