What a shame. Tough guy though to win the Open in a playoff enduring that kind of pain.

PGA TV ratings are going to drop like a rock.  At least the rest of the pro's can look at this as an opportunity to win some tournaments and cash in.

Good point on the ratings, Johnny.

In 2007 alone Eldrick Tont(Tiger) Woods earned $122 million.

From 1996-2007, Tiger Woods has earned $769,440,709 from winnings and endorsements and is expected to top the $1 billion mark by 2010, the first athlete to achieve this.

Not bad for a “Cablinasian" kid from Cypress CA. I've got nothing but respect for him. He is self-made. Used  his natural God given talent and went out and "Got 'er done".

I have followed golf for years. He is amazing. But I expected him to win at Torrey Pines, bad knee and all because he had won there 5-6 times in the past. With the FedEx points awarded at the end of 08, Phil MIckelson will win that because of Tiger's absence. In my opinion, Woods just gave Mickelson a $5 million present.

I hope those 91 holes at the Open were worth it in the long run.
