Welcome to the Tour Blog, where Golfweek reporters deliver the latest inside news and happenings on the PGA Tour, LPGA and European Tour.


Editor's note: This is the archived material from the PGA Tour's 2008 Florida Swing.



Ed Fiori is known for the grip, Bobby Locke for the putter, Hale Irwin for the long iron and Bubba Watson for the driver. Now for the latest entry: Geoff Ogilvy and the wedge.

Ogilvy chipped in on the 71st hole when he won the 2006 U.S. Open. And on Monday morning his chip-in down the stretch keyed his victory in the WGC-CA Championship. Granted, it was running hot and might have ended up in Key West had it not hit the pin, but the hole-out does elevate him to Mr. Chips status.

The Streak is over but the excitement lives on. That's the bad-good news related to the ending of Tiger Woods' winning streak.

Had it continued to the Masters or Players Championship, golf would have received unprecendented attention. The silver lining, though, is that golf's big boys are rounding into fine form. That means Woods will have company at Augusta. And that's good for golf as well.

DORAL, Fla. – Although hardly a sign of the apocalypse, Tiger Woods’ par on the Blue Monster’s opening hole Saturday was the world No. 1’s worst score on the par 5 in 18 consecutive attempts. Before Saturday, the last time Woods parred the hole was during the final round of the 1998 Doral-Ryder Open.

The world righted itself Sunday afternoon when Woods pushed his drive into the right rough, clipped a palm with his second shot and chipped to 3 feet for a routine birdie.

DORAL, Fla. – Not many trophies get doled out on rainy Saturdays, but there was a victory of note mixed among the soggy Tour pros at Doral.

Erik Compton, who underwent two procedures earlier this week to fortify his ailing heart, arrived at the WGC-CA Championship just before the horn blew to pull players off the course. It turned out for the best for Compton, who had a chance to catch up with friends and former competitors during the delay that stretched into the evening.

Compton, a Nationwide Tour player who underwent a heart transplant when he was 12, had lunch with Camilo Villegas and stopped to talk to Gregory Havret, whom Compton beat at the 2005 Hassan II Golf Trophy.

“Watch, he won’t even recognize me,” said Compton, who has dropped about 15 pounds since having a heart attack late last year.

Compton was admitted to a Miami-area hospital last Sunday because of dizziness and shortness of breath. The next day during an angioplasty procedure, doctors became concerned that his heart could fail again. On Tuesday, they implanted a defibrillator as a “safety mechanism” in case his heart were to stop again.

Compton, whose original transplant was predicted to last 10 years, has been placed on the transplant list.

“I worked hard to make a comeback before, and it was good,” Compton said. “That’s what life is about. It’s not always about winning. It’s about the fight to try to win.”

Saturday at Doral, he already was a winner.

DORAL, Fla. – Whoever says professional golfers aren’t athletes has never watched Aussie Adam Scott prep for a day at the office. At 7:45 a.m., Scott was in the gym at Doral Resort, going through a 30-minute warm-up routine that included 10 minutes on a stationary bike and intense stretching.

At 9:04 a.m., Scott was headed for the practice range, more than an hour before his scheduled bout with Tiger Woods and Geoff Ogilvy at the WGC-CA Championship.

Take that, PBA.

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – Just watched Pablo Martin warm up for his 1:02 p.m. tee time here at the Puerto Rico Open. Solid action, crazy long, midlength putter. Let’s see, another sweet-swinging Spaniard with a questionable putter. We liked this show better the first time it aired . . .  when Sergio Garcia was the leading man.

DORAL, Fla. – For the two or so of you concerned with Tiger Woods’ game following his three-putt from 72 feet on Doral’s 18th green yesterday during the first-round of the WGC-CA Championship, consider this:

Woods needed only three shots Friday to finish the par-5 12th hole, his third of the second round. And none of those swings was with a putter.

Tiger holed out from 12 yards out of a greenside bunker for eagle, and jumped to the top of the leaderboard (7 under) here for the first time this week.

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – Ubiquitous signs can be found throughout the resort that is hosting this week’s Puerto Rico Open: “Beware Paradise.”

One of our favorite Tour players, and people for that matter, seems to have fallen victim to paradise. Jim McGovern was all smiles despite a tough second round that included five bogeys.

“Really haven’t done much,” McGovern said, grinning. “Sat around the pool, went to the ocean, played a little golf. Life is good.”

Some players need renowned sports psychologist Bob Rotella to find inner peace. All McGovern needs is an ocean breeze and cold cerveza.

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – Brian Gay nixed an 0-for-293 victory schneid on the PGA Tour last month with his victory at the Mayakoba Classic in Mexico and is on the leaderboard after an opening 69 at the Puerto Rico Open.

A victory here and later this year at the U.S. Bank Championship and Legends Reno-Tahoe Open – which are played the same weeks as the British Open and WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, respectively – and we’ve got the “Opposite Field Grand Slam.”

Now that’s a record Tiger Woods will never touch.

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – Brown is the new black. Fifty is the new 40. And shoulder injuries seem to be all the rage on Tour these days.

On Tuesday at Doral, Arron Oberholser told us that his doctors are baffled by an ailing right shoulder that’s kept “AO” on the sidelines for most of ’08.

“Some days are better than others,” Oberholser said. “I would describe it as a real discomfort.”

A day later at the Puerto Rico Open, Shaun Micheel described a similar pain in his left shoulder that is characterized by an occasional pop that causes him to flinch at impact. Micheel said numerous tests haven’t revealed a reason for the pain, but intense therapy sessions before he plays have helped.

“It’s caused me to alter my swing some so that’s something I need to be careful about,” Micheel said.

DORAL, Fla. – Sad news on Tuesday at Doral. Erik Compton, the Nationwide Tour player who underwent a heart transplant when he was 12, has suffered another set back.

Compton had a second procedure in as many days performed Tuesday to have a defibrillator implanted in his heart and he has been placed on a waiting list for another transplant surgery.

“He’s doing OK,” said Jim McLean, Doral’s director of instruction and Compton’s longtime swing coach. “He told me, ‘I’ve been preparing for this my entire life.’”

Let’s hope he means another fight.

DORAL, Fla. – The World Golf Championships concept seems to be catching on. “After the majors and The Players you’ve got the WGCs,” said one Tour player. But it seems there are a couple of holes in the WGC logic.

Forget the fact there are no Atlases at Tour HQ and all three “World” events are played inside the “Lower 48,” the WGCs may be trying too hard to pull players from the four corners. Take, for example, this week’s lineup at Doral for the CA Championship.

“Who is this guy (S.S.P. Chowrasia)?” one player asked pointing to Thursday’s tee sheet. “No offense, but do you mean to tell me (Chowrasia) deserves a spot in this field and Anthony Kim doesn’t?”

The world wonders.

We’re not the betting type, not since the second mortgage bounced off that corporate tent at the ’06 U.S. Open. But if you had to let a fortune, say your oldest son’s college fund, ride, picking Tiger Woods to eclipse Byron Nelson’s record of 11 consecutive Tour tilts wouldn’t be a bad way to go.

If Woods keeps his traditional schedule (Doral, Masters, Wachovia, Players, Memorial, U.S. Open), and his current form, he could head into June's U.S. Open with a chance to tie “Iron Byron.”

Two words: Torrey Pines.

I rarely see a movie more than once. It’s a Wonderful Life is one exception. But when Tiger Woods lined up a 24-foot birdie putt for victory Sunday at Bay Hill, I knew I had seen that flick before many times. Had a pretty good idea how this was going to end. Only thing unexpected was the cap throw instead of the fist pump.

John Daly says he withdrew from this week’s PGA Tour stop in Puerto Rico because of stress and instead plans to spend a few days visiting a friend in Fort Lauderdale. At a time his closest pals worry about his  drinking and mental state, I’m worried that JD partying in Lauderdale during a spring break week could be a recipe for the breaking of something else. Dreams, glass and .08 come to mind.

“It used to be cool to go have a couple of drinks with him because at least he cared about playing well,” said Pat Perez, probably Daly’s closest friend among Tour players. “It was cool to hang out with JD and go out and party and have some drinks. But now you can’t drink with him because you’re really contributing to something terrible."

ORLANDO, Fla. – Necessity is the father of invention. Doubt that? Consider Sergio Garcia, regarded far and wide as one of the best ballstrikers of his generation. Yet “El Nino” has tried every putting fix known to man, long putters, cross-handed grip, claw grip. Everything.

Last month, Garcia started working with legendary short-game guru Stan Utley, who convinced the Spaniard to use a shorter, standard-length putter. But Garcia will only take tradition so far. He was spotted Sunday morning on the practice putting green at Bay Hill wielding a putter with an oversized grip like the one used by K.J. Choi.

We wonder, however, if Garcia needs a new putting tool or a retooled psyche.

“Ask him why he makes so many putts at the Ryder Cup?” wondered U.S. captain Paul Azinger earlier this week. “I’d really like to know that.”

So would Garcia.

This just in: A source close to the Ginn Open says Stephanie Sparks will receive the second sponsor exemption, joining amateur Lindy Duncan in Orlando, Fla., next month. Sparks played one season on the LPGA before undergoing back surgery in 2000. The Duke grad hosts the Golf Channel’s Big Break series, which filmed its seventh season at Reunion. Sparks made the cut one time in 20 tries her rookie year.

ORLANDO, Fla. – If you’re looking for a player to pull for not named Woods or Singh on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, consider Cliff Kresge.

The central Florida native is among the 11 caught in traffic within two shots of the lead, and he couldn’t be a more endearing underdog.

“All the way around people are yelling, ‘Come on Orlando. Go Big Red Dog,’” he smiles. Big Red Dog? “Yeah, Clifford the Big Red Dog.”

Check the 39-year-old single father’s Sunday “to do” list:

• Drop son, Mason, who is autistic, off at daycare
• Play the round of my life
• Win first Tour title at tournament I’ve been attending since I was 8 years old
• Thank God, Palmer, parents and Ernie Els (whose withdrawal opened a spot for Kresge, who began the week as the first alternate).
• Pick up Mason from daycare.

Vicky Hurst recently chose Wasserman Media Group to manage her career. The 2007 AJGA Player of the Year turned professional this week at the season-opening tournament of the Duramed Futures Tour. Hurst, 17, becomes the first female professional golfer to work with Wasserman, which currently has the PGA Tour’s Hunter Mahan and Matt Jones among its clients.

It’s widely known that LPGA players aren’t too fond of the event in Mexico City. Many don’t feel safe and worry about their valuables making it there and back. As if the lack of star power in this week’s MasterCard Classic weren’t enough to signal the membership’s discontent, the Monday qualifying tournament was canceled due to lack of participation.

A.J. Eathorne and amateur Maria Maymon got in this week because they were the only two who signed up.

So when’s the last time the LPGA has canceled a Monday qualifier? Last year (and the year before that) at the Corona Championship, which incidentally, also is in Mexico.

LPGA researchers had to go back to 2001 to find the last time this happened on U.S. soil, at the LPGA Champions Classic in Beavercreek, Ohio.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Lorena Ochoa’s new tournament was the only one still standing in the coming years.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Hot topic on the Bay Hill practice range didn’t have anything to do with last week’s “MDFs” at the PODS Championship or Tiger Woods’ return to action. Seems the rank-and-file are a bit rankled by nematodes, tiny worms that have eaten their way through a couple of Bay Hill’s greens.

“I’ve putted on worse,” Paul Azinger said late March 11 after walking off the 15th green.

The worst of the lot seems to be the par-4 10th hole, which has some bare spots around most of its collar and on the front third of the putting surface. The par-4 16th also is less than perfect.

Officials may have to experiment with new pin positions on a few putting surfaces, but otherwise most players were pleasantly surprised after the Tour posted a letter last week at the PODS bracing players for less-than-ideal conditions.

“They’re not terrible,” said one caddie, “just not what you’ve come to expect.”

We see the Tour’s new secondary cut rule got a tryout this morning, and, as expected, it wasn’t as smooth as officials would have liked. Because of numerous weather delays at Innisbrook, eight players had to hang around until Sunday only to land the most dreaded acronym in the game: “MDF - missed the cut: did not finish.”

OK, it’s not likely Jason Gore or Charles Warren or any of the others who missed the secondary cut were going to challenge for the title, but it just seems an untidy way to end a week.

Before the new cut policy was approved two weeks ago, Policy Board member Stewart Cink offered this cautionary missive:  “Nobody is in favor of that second cut thing. The secondary cut has a lot of evils.”

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – It’s 10:10 a.m. Sunday and the third round at the PODS Championship is finally complete. The only real movement in the final group was made by Jeff Maggert, who made birdie putts inside 10 feet on the final two holes. Unfortunately, he’d already shot himself out of contention by playing the first 15 holes 6 over, and hitting his tee shot on No. 16 into the water before play was halted.

Brandt Snedeker parred all three holes he had to play Saturday morning, but it wasn’t easy. He had to make a 5-foot par putt on No. 16 after having a 25-foot birdie putt. Snedeker had sand saves on the final two holes. Billy Mayfair also parred all three holes he had remaining in his third round.

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – While Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course was giving players fits Saturday, Brandt Snedeker looked like he was taking a stroll through a park. The affable Tennessee native even sincerely smiled at his gallery after missing a 5-foot birdie putt on the par-3 4th hole.

Snedeker’s optimism looked like it would help him run away with his second Tour title at the PODS Championship. He had a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-3 8th that would’ve given him a five-shot lead. Snedeker shockingly three-putted from there, then made another three bogeys on the next five holes to fall two shots behind Stewart Cink.

While Cink is enjoying a casual breakfast Sunday morning, Snedeker will report to the 16th fairway to finish his third round. Instead, he looked at the positive.

“I got that tee shot on 16 out of the way, and we’ll have fresh greens tomorrow, so hopefully I’ll have three good looks at (birdie),” Snedeker said. “Plus 18 was playing dead into the wind, so I don’t have to deal with that.”

How hard is it playing?

“It's the kind of day that can make you look really ridiculous really fast," said Geoff Ogilvy, who shot 69 and is in a tie for second.

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Kevin Sutherland is making his move on this Saturday, leaping 22 spots on the leaderboard after just two holes. He holed a greenside bunker shot on the first hole to start the third round eagle-birdie and go from T-25 to T-3, two strokes off Brandt Snedeker’s lead. This week, Sutherland has played the first two holes 6 under thanks to one par, four birdies and an eagle.

Worms long have been a part of sports. Dennis (Worm) Rodman and his tatoos and rebounds come to mind. Worms always have been a big part of fishing. I get the impression, too, that Roger Clemens thinks Brian McNamee is a worm. And that Barry Bonds thinks people in the media are, well, yes, worms.

Worms, too,  are big in the world of cliches. Consider that old saw about early birds getting the you-know-what, which might mean worms are a part of hunting as well. And then there’s the worn-out “as the worm turns.”

 Now, sadly, worms are a part of golf. That’s right, golf.
 
The little wiggly things have wreaked havoc on the greens at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill course in Orlando. That is not good news because the best golfers in the world will be putting on those greens next week in the PGA Tour’s Arnold Palmer Invitational.

This, of course, raises a question: If fellow players can’t beat Tiger Woods, can a worm? I don’t mean to open up a can of worms with this, but I was just wondering.

Good to see Stuart Appleby on the leaderboard at the weather-plagued PODS Championship. Talking with a few members of Appleby’s management team earlier this week at Innisbrook it was interesting to hear how an extended break back home in Australia, thanks to the shortened FedEx Cup season, and a return to basics after some experimentation last year with his putting is making Appleby an early Masters contender.

Also interesting on Thursday, we see Tiger Woods committed to the Arnold Palmer Invitational a day earlier then his usual “M.O.” The world No. 1 must have figured nematodes – the tiny worms that have eaten their way through some of Bay Hill’s putting surfaces – are about the only organism that can stop his current victory run.

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – The random twosome stepped to the tee on the adjacent Island course at Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club and noticed the figure some 300 yards down the fairway.

“Is this guy fishing or what?” one asked.

“This guy” was Boo Weekley and yes, he was fishing.

Weekley, who readily admits he plays golf to support his hunting and fishing passion, was unwinding after a day tuning up for the PODS Championship.

“Naw man, nothin’ bitin’,” Weekley smiled, “(It’s) too cold. They got lockjaw.”

So did the random twosome when they realized “this guy,” was the Tour’s most likable player.

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Sometimes numbers lie. Sometimes they don’t mean anything. Sometimes both notions apply.

Such is the case with the PGA Tour’s All-Around statistical ranking and Tiger Woods at this very moment.

Woods, as you may have heard, has won his two Tour starts of the year, routing the field at the Buick Invitational and dazzling with go-low blitzes and an unthinkable comeback.

Many stats bear our his brilliance.
 
Woods is first on Tour in scoring average.

He is first in putting average.

He is first in greens in regulation.

He is first in sand saves.
 
In other words, he leads four of the nine main categories.

Yet somehow, in one of the greatest numerical oddities since the invention of mathematics or the World Golf Ranking, Woods does not rank in the top 10 of the All-Around category.

He’s 11th.

I am fairly certain Woods has not lost any winks over this or that he has called Tim Finchem at home to complain. I am fairly certain it doesn’t matter in the scheme of his life.

But it is interesting to the point of asking the Tour and its computer  and any M.I.T. mathematician this:

 Huh!?

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – It was like the scene from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” with Ted Purdy and an official standing on the tee waiting for Chad Collins to show up for a playoff at the PODS Championship’s Monday qualifying event.

“Collins? Collins? Collins . . . ”

Purdy and Collins tied for the final qualifying spot with 67s at Fox Hollow Golf & Country Club, but when it came time for OT Collins was 45 minutes away having dinner at Beef O’Brady’s. The spot went to Purdy, while rumor has it the check went to Collins.

Asked if he had ever been involved in a similar episode, Purdy was deadpanned: “I don’t think it’s ever happened before.”

Turns out drug testing at the LPGA’s Fields Open was just that: a test. Tour officials confirmed that samples taken two weeks ago never were sent to a lab. Tough news for players who spent nearly three hours waiting in line.

“We needed a trial run to see if there were lessons to be learned,” said Jill Pilgrim, the LPGA’s deputy counsel.

Players speculated as to whether something had gone awry during the testing process in Hawaii, but Pilgrim said the idea of a trial run was decided well in advance.

Just so we’re all straight on this. Among the Policy Board’s recent decrees is a move to designate the tournament currently-known-as the Frys.com Open an “invitational.” That’s right, a “Fall Series” event will become a 120-player invitational in 2010. Nothing against the Fall Finish or the Fry’s folks, but isn’t that akin to having to make a reservation at a garage sale?

Tour officials were within one Charles Warren 3-footer of having to put the circuit’s new, new cut policy to work.

Luckily, 77 players made the cut at the Honda Classic, saving us from experiencing the secondary-cut policy that was passed by the Policy Board on Monday. In a shell, if 78 guys make it to the weekend there’s a second cut after 54 holes to the lowest 70 players and ties.

We’ve addressed this issue before in this space, but now we’ve got a high-profile endorsement from “The Man.” This isn’t about 78 players or cuts or secondary cuts. It’s about slow play.

“The guys don’t police it out there with pace of play. And it is getting slow out there,” Woods said last week in Arizona. “They might have to (assess stroke penalties for slow play). But the guys are a little sensitive about that.”

Amen.

When did the Florida Swing – once the warm and fuzzy unofficial start to the season – become a Stephen King novel?

Remove the four majors from the rotation, and all four of the Sunshine State venues ranked among the top 15 toughest on Tour in 2007.

Each of the four played at least a stroke over par, with the par-70 Bay Hill layout topping the list with a 72.054 average. Inexplicably, the easiest of the four was the swing’s crown jewel. Doral’s Blue Monster (par 72) played to a stroke average of 73 for the WGC-CA Championship.

Lorena Ochoa birdied her first hole of 2008 – a promising sign. While most of us were sleeping here on American soil, Ochoa put together a bogey-free 66 at the HSBC Women’s Champions in Singapore. She leads by one stroke over Paula Creamer and Ai Miyazato. Sorenstam, playing in Ochoa’s group, shot 71.

“It’s why I took a few more weeks to practice and why I am here,” Ochoa said. “I am 100 percent ready to go.”

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.–Another day on the PGA Tour, another day of  players being asked about Tiger Woods. This train usually runs one way. In other words, nobody asks Woods what he thinks about Mark Wilson’s game.
 
But Wilson, the defending Honda Classic champion, and his Tour brethren keep getting pelted with inquiries about the wonder of Woods, who has won six consecutive tournaments worldwide. The other constant is they keep gushing.

Wilson was asked if he’s surprised some are wondering about the possibility of  a perfect season or Byron Nelson’s record of 11 consecutive victories being broken.

“Only with him you talk about it,” Wilson said. “And you think it’s possible. For the longest time you thought it was impossible, but ... each time he gets a few in a row, you go, ‘Oh, he could maybe do it, he could eclipse that 11 number or whatever.’ ”

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Tuesdays on the PGA Tour usually aren’t more than practice days for players and relaxed interview days for the news media. So as Tuesdays go, this one just wasn’t different, it was a banner day for the Tour.

Three significant developments, three A’s for Camp Ponte Vedra.

1. Announcement of Greg Norman and Fred Couples as 2009 Presidents Cup captains. Star power. Guys players respect. Right choices. What’s not to like?

2.  The FedEx Cup points system has been improved with the intent of stirring more late-season interest. One, the gap is being narrowed in the FedEx playoff reset points standings. Two,  points in playoff events will increase by 2,000 per place, meaning players who play well in them will move up more dramatically than in the inaugural 2007 season.

Tour numbers crunchers figure if those two changes were in effect last year, playoff entrants with a mathematical chance of winning the Cup would have increased from six to 12.

3. Expected announcement of a necessary adjustment to Cut Rule 78, giving more players a chance to show their stuff on Saturdays. The new 2008 rule has called for weekend fields to be reduced to those with scores nearest 70th place if more than 78 made the cut under the old 70-and-ties rule. Now, there will be a second cut to the lowest 70 plus ties after 54 holes if over 78  make the halfway cut. Good move because the woods are full of guys who have made the cut on the number and gone on to either win or cash a big check.
