re: Tiger not playing Genesis Open or Honda classic

It surely seemed forced. When he released his schedule a month ago I thought it was a lot in the short time span. If "everything is about getting ready for April" then take a couple tune up tournaments and rest.

Stay in California or fly back to Florida. Rest, practice, and get ready for the event your sponsoring instead of going to take an appearance fee. No idea who is advisors are on that (or if he even has any) but they should all be fired.

I don't think it's his advisers. Rumors are that Tiger has been back working out twice a day, in defiance of doctor's recommendations. Tiger is too stubborn to realize he's not a healthy 25 year old anymore and his body can't do what it used to.

Riding in a coach seat for that long of a flight was definitely ill-advised....

Watching some golf today and noticed Fred Couples. In his day, he hit just about as long as Tiger and has suffered with back issues for 25+ years....He is maybe 55 and still going with that languid, smooth, effortless swing. You just apparently can't go after it like Tiger has...

As far as his bringing golf to the "mainstream"...please define mainstream. General population...no. Rednecks, no. Minorities???
