    He was out for tournaments he usually doesn't play anyway, and he said in the statement last week he was taking some time off. I doubt if it's just for one week. I don't think he'll come anywhere near Ponte Vedra next week but we'll know at 5 p.m. Friday -- that's the commitment deadline.

    Here’s hoping he stays away because the LAST thing that blowhard does is contrite, it’ll just be more “me me me” and “I was misquoted” BS.

    World-class trolling by Tiger:

    The background: Phil thought he won the PIP in December and the $8 mill. The Tour wasn't finished calculating the social media impressions however they do it and they released the final results yesterday. Phil had to settle for second and only $6 mill but I suppose every penny counts these days.

    Any chance (as I put on my tinfoil hat) that the Tour "recalculated" after PhiL's statements, realizing that there is no way on earth they're paying him a bonus after all of the trouble he's caused.

    How dare you question the Tour's transparency!

    I thought Tiger was a shoo-in with his swing video last year followed by the father-son. (And if Charlie Woods was eligible he might have finished in the money too.) Phil might have been trying to goad the Tour into giving him the first-place check, figuring if he announced it than surely the Tour wouldn't make him look bad by saying it wasn't true. Of course, that was before Phil put his foot straight down his throat.

    And he's still getting a nice bonus. Just not the top one.

    Everyone was under the assumption that Tiger would still be No. 1, before Phil popped off and tried to claim it was going to be him.

    And people still will bitch when Tiger is covered incessantly. Networks would be dumb not to show every shot.

    Well that shot deserves a lot of coverage. That was one helluva shot!
