Yeah... I really think he needs a second job to keep his family budget afloat.

He seemed to hit some quality shots and some good recovery shots, but he was just so inconsistent from moment to moment.

I've never hidden the fact that I'm not much of a Tiger fan because I can't separate the personal life and how he arrogantly treated the press from his life as an athlete. Little by little as he re-enters focus in the press, I feel like I'm seeing a more decent human being with a lot more humble nature about him.

I honestly do hope he makes it back, if for no other reason than he increases attendance at tournaments and that means the tournaments earn more money for charity. I'd like to see him in the mix with the current young guns.

Re: Ex Nike players

Another sidelight to all this, Ben Hogan Company has announced its bankruptcy and is apparently closing. I'm not aware of any tour players playing Hogan equipment.

I'm curious... Has Mizuno actually signed any new players to such contracts that are to such an extent that they will actually wear the logo or carry a Mizuno bag on top of playing some Mizuno clubs?

I don't know whether Mizuno have signed him but he has the bag.

Re: Ex Nike players

The hat and the bag are the two most visible logos a player can exhibit. If Lucas Glover is carrying a Mizuno bag, I'd guess he has some sort of endorsement contract with them.

Re: Ex Nike players

Very cool - I got to meet Nick at Doral a few years ago. It was just a breif encounter, shook hands and he had to get ready to play, but he seemed genuinely happy to meet a few of us there. I love it when my favorite brand is involved with good people.

I'll be honest - never heard of him.  Will investigate.

He's a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants... Little bitty guy around 6'3" tall... (well he's short to me!)

We're definitely picking up players with the industry in a little turmoil - Nike out and Adidas selling TMade.  Let's see where it all ends up as the season takes off.  There's suddenly some value on the tour for first time in a long time.
