Finally, He Makes It Rain

    For the 1st time in more than 2 years, Tiger Woods captured a PGA event. Woods won by 5 strokes Sunday, when he ended his drought by winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida.
    The timing of his win, John Strege notes, comes 2 days before Hank Haney’s book about Woods hits the shelves.

Rolling The Dice Again On Tiger?

    Wonder will that writer ask him about what’s in that book again? Didn’t think so.
    Woods is getting 6-1 odds on winning the WSC Cadillac Chamionship, which starts on Thursday, at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Florida. Rory McIlroy is 5-1. Others: Phil Mickelson 12-1; Lee Westwood 14-1; Martin Kaymer 28-1; Nick Watney 30-1; Sergio Garcia 32-1 (we’ll bet the farm on this not happening); and Bubba Watson 55-1.

Dude, There’s Still Hope

    Despite being punked by his nemisis Phil Mickelson for the championship of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Sunday, hope remains alive for Tiger Woods. Vegas has some prop bets on Tiger, with a range of odds on how many Majors he will win.
    If you bet against Tiger winning any Majors this year, the odds are 1-2 against you, meaning the bookies believe he will win at least 1. Odds of him winning 1 Major: 9-5; odds of him winning 2 Majors: 7-1; odds of him winning 3 Majors: 25-1; and odds of him taking all 4 Majors (meaning he doesn’t have a prayer): 125-1.

No Brown Sugar

    The Bleacher Report, the diversity challenged sports website in the Bay Area, published the 25 “hottest” women for each of the past 25 years. Not a sister to be found. No Laila Ali, no Florence Griffith Joyner or Christine Arron, just to name a few.

Makes Him Want To Holler

    It’s a big deal to Tiger Woods, but winning his own tournament by a stroke over a watered-down field isn’t anything to scream about.
