Jaydip Sengupta says once the European Tour schedule is set for 2012 the Dubai folks will approach Tiger's management about getting him to sign up for three more appearances. Unless the new date is up against the Masters, he's yours! At a price of course.John Huggan and Steve Elling play two Federer-Nadal style sets with Tiger as their ball.
