Invitation Spotted For Tiger's Ryder Cup Fishing Trip

/

While the world awaits to find out if he will play the 2016 Masters, Assistant Ryder Cup Captain Tiger Woods has apparently firmed up plans for a prospective team-member bonding trip aboard his yacht, Privacy.

You may recall that Woods has suggested a fishing trip to Captain Davis Love, and to show his passion for this year's event, Tiger attended a prospective team dinner at Jack and Barbara Nicklaus' home in early March.

The fishing expedition invitation suggests the trip will take place the Monday of Players Championship week and will be limited to the top 30 in Ryder Cup points, along with Keegan Bradley no matter where he sits on the list.

A source close to Woods saw the look in Keegan’s eyes during a team dinner at Jack Nicklaus’s house and felt it would be wise to be on the 2011 PGA Champion’s good side, “no matter how little chance he has of making the team.

“Tiger’s got a spot on the back edge of the boat just for Keegan,” said the source. “He doesn’t want Keegan spitting on the new flooring he just installed on Privacy.”

The invitation appears to have been produced by Tiger's corporate partners at Nike. Note the modifications to his yacht, with his Ryder Cup record and the 2016 logo attached.

Gary Player On Tiger’s “Lessons” And Sleep Deprivation

My post at The Loop on Gary Player telling Colin Cowherd that Tiger shouldn’t have signed up for that series of buy five, get the sixth lesson free after winning the U.S. Open by 15, and sleep issues Woods told him about.

I guess what is said at the Champions Dinner doesn’t always stay at the Champions Dinner.

Butch Would Be Happy To Spend A Day With Tiger!

Matthew Dunn of the Daily Express reports that former Tiger instructor and former Phil instructor Butch Harmon is willing to remain a former Tiger instructor, with a big caveat.

A Day With Butch!

Tiger? Come on, olive branch extended!

"Would I be open to going back and working with him properly? I have got more players than I can handle right now, so that would never happen.

"But if he ever wanted my opinion I would be more than happy to give it to him. I would have to know about his body and what his health issues are but I don't think it is going to happen - but I'd be willing to give him my opinion.

"I would be open to spending a day with him, watch him hit balls and give him my opinions."

Ahhhhhhhhhh...yet more hope for world peace.

Tiger Back Hitting Balls? In The Dark? At Bear's Club?

Enough questions?

Maybe Tiger's taking comeback advice from Seabiscuit trainer Tom Smith. Or maybe he just loves the smell of the Bear's Club in the dark. Or maybe he doesn't want to see where his ball goes. Or maybe the photo just isn't current.

Either way, the elusive "Secret Tour Pro" is said to have contributed this image to ClubUpGolf.com, where David McCreery explains the back story.

More shocking than the sight of a longtime professional golfer hitting range balls is the location: Jack Nicklaus's Bear's Club. Does this mean Medalist has fallen out of favor?

I won't believe any of it until Senior Jupiter Correspondent Tim Rosaforte sets the record straight.
