Point/Counterpoint: Tiger Woods Finally Has Something to Look Forward To

Filed under: PGA, Ryder Cup

FanHouse Golf Writer Mick Elliott runs through a point/counterpoint on the last week of happenings in golf:

Fact: Tiger Woods begins 2011 play this week in San Diego, hoping to bounce back from the first winless season of his career. "I've been working hard on my game, it's game time, hooah!!" Woods posted on Twitter.

Observation: And Tiger knows "hooah.''

Fact: Woods will arrive at Torrey Pines No. 3 in the world rankings, now trailing No. 1 Lee Westwood and No. 2 Martin Kaymer.

Observation: Woods should be thrilled. Finally, he has something to look forward to.

Fact: Phil Mickelson made it as a vegetarian for five months, but recently returned to his old diet. "I was a strict vegetarian for five months, but ultimately, it was doomed to fail," he said.

Observation: That explains Callaway's new product line: The Rescue Club Sandwich.

Fact: Westwood, the Englishman and recent new No. 1, says he will not enter this year's Players Championship, golf's "fifth major,'' because of scheduling conflicts involving his status as a non-member of the PGA Tour.

Observation: Meanwhile, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem continues to work on ways to attract foreign stars to the U.S. So far, the best idea is Marriott Rewards Points.
