    Hindsight but why is he chasing appearance fees to the Middle East?

    I was thinking the same..probably to secure course development deals in the future. A lot of money to be made out there.

    Yeah, I mean it's not like the guy has to pitch these guys...

    I'm sure it's some combo of that, the million or so appearance fee and sponsor pressure. Just seems dumb.

    Yet he is playing Riviera. This all seems so weird.

    ha, I hear you. First class is pretty wild these days. The wife has flown the British Airways first class where you have a private cubicle basically. Still, not a private jet (which the wife has actually also flown on...fucker)

    Flying commercial like some sort of animal!

    No matter how he flew, being on a plane for 17 hours can't be good for your back. It's becoming pretty sad....hard to see him ever being fully healthy again.

    Golf is a drinking sport. Like bowling and darts

    if you're used to being best golfer in the world. making tons of cash and getting your dick sucked (literally and figuratively) everywhere you go, it's tough to give it up.

    I find these money grab tournaments in the human rights oppressing super rich arab countries to be a little distasteful.

    Why do they have to have such a shitty tournament at such an amazing course?

    I don't know why he would play the masters, at this point. I doubt he would make the cut and probably wouldn't even get thru 2 rounds.

    Fucking god dammit Phil. An 8?!?

    Also, fuck this 30 minute blackout. It just so happens to come when the leaders are playing the 3 best holes on the course
