Follow Tiger Woods From Your Pocket with This iPhone App

April 9, 2009 at 9:11 AM | by kjb | 0 Comments

The 73rd edition of The Masters Golf Tournament kicks off today in Augusta, Georgia. It’s a big deal as usual, especially since Tiger Woods is back after taking some time off to heal from surgery. Greg Norman, aka “The Shark,” is back to play as well, and is looking to win his first Masters—he’s come really close a couple times. Things should wrap up Sunday, weather permitting, where the winner will get the coveted green jacket and a huge check—last year’s was over $7 million.

Adventures of Link: Everyone's Pregnant!

September 2, 2008 at 5:15 PM | by pbb | 0 Comments

Tiger Woods put golf on hold after he won the US Open early this summer, taking off for knee surgery. But he put all that free time to use: Wife Elin Nordegren and Tiger are expecting a second child sometime this winter.

But rather than sit around in Orlando picking out paint for the nursery, Tiger made some time to travel, too: After a trip to Dubai to check on a super-swanky new course of his own design, he also stopped in to see Conan O'Brien in New York. Maybe he passed the "Late Night" host an invite to The Cliffs at High Carolina?

Golf Travel: Does Dubai Need the New Tiger Woods Course?

August 26, 2008 at 9:33 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments

Maybe it's because we don't play much golf ourselves, but we're just not sure why Dubai needs so many golf courses--especially since it's in the middle of the desert. But Tiger Woods and his design company have just unveiled the whole big plan for The Tiger Woods Dubai which will be a hotel, residential estate and golf course all in one.

For all you golf travel lovers, the new 18 hole course at the Al Ruwaya club will be a 7,800 yard par 72. Along with the clubhouse, there'll be a golf academy and a spa, and it should all be finished by next year.

The complex will be part of Dubailand, the $64 billion dollar extravaganza that won't be finished until 2025. You might have to wait that long to get a membership to Al Ruwaya: They're already billing it as one of the most exclusive in the world. Make friends with Tiger now!

Where Is the US Open?

The US Open just wrapped up at Torrey Pines outside San Diego; Tiger Woods won. The schmancy course has been hyping the golf tourney for more than a year, and they put on quite the contest.

Tiger Woods of course played well, but Rocco Mediate wasn't content to let him simply walk off with a win. After an entire 18-hole playoff, the two were still tied. On the first hole of a three-hole sudden death round, Tiger took the win.
