Sorry if Germans...

I was wondering why Tiger (currently -3) is first -3 listed. Kucher and Sergio alphabetically come before Tiger. One is ahead of Tiger on the course, hole wise, and one is behind Tiger. And yet Tiger is the first one listed. CBS always does this. Can someone tell why? And I'm not a Tiger Hater, I just always wondered. Shouldn't the listing be based on course location or last name when several players are tied?

TIA

Usually it is first on the course but Tiger has draw.

I used to work some tournaments for CBS as a scorer/spotter. It is SOP that Tiger is listed first among the same scores.

Works as a spotter for CBS. Met him a while back. Party's with us every year in Memphis. Met him with Boo 5-6 years ago.

Took me in the production trailer last year behind number 13 at Memphis. It's amazing what the producers do with all the different cameras and such.

Ah OK, I'm not Wayne.

I worked the International for them from '91 to '03. Also worked the Colonial in Fort Worth a few years. Chuck Will was the Associate Producer back then.

It's their scoreboard and they will post how they want to.

I don't think I do. Does he work for them full time? Back when I worked Chuck either hired out of work caddies or caddies whose player missed the cut. I was lucky as I was neither.

No. He is full time. In fact he was Sergio's caddie last year late in the season. CBS had a story on him during a broadcast.

Does he have a nickname? Most of the caddies I met had nicknames. And some of them you couldn't repeat on air.

Did you get to eat with the crew prior to the telecast? They spared no expense at Castle Pines and served 5 star lunches.

If I am not mistaken if 2 players are tied they list the one that has the better round going.

For example, Cabrera and Scott are both -7 but Scott is listed first and is currently -1 for the day while Cabrera is even on the day.

He's not a regular caddie. Sergio picked him because he has known him from his years ar CBS. Wayne is probably 30.

If he's 30 he wasn't working when I did. Did you eat lunch with the crew?
