Tiger Ends 2006 With a Roar

Hello. Congrats yet again to Tiger Woods for winning the Target World Challenge, "his tournament" against 15 of the best of the world Sunday.
The big winer was the Tiger Woods Foundation, who received the winner's purse. Many of you may not think this is much of a gesture for Tiger, who probably earns more than that in interest daily. However, Tiger doesn't have to have a Tiger Woods Foundation. It was his choice, a la Ted Turner, Bill Gates, Andre Aggassi and Warren Buffet, to give money to a worthy cause. Ask yourself if you're planning to give an extra 1% to charity in 2007. I didn't think so.
What does 2007 hold for Tiger? As I mentioned shortly after his father passed away, Tiger may only play the minimum 15 tourneys in 2007. He was a no-show at the Mercedes Championships last year. I wouldn't bet on him coming this time either. What does he have to prove? At this point, nothing.
If Tiger wants to, he could just play about 10 times. However, he doesn't want to put the PGA Tour in an awkward position. They obviously have a set of "Tiger rules" that are unwritten. An unhappy Tiger is an unprofitable PGA Tour.
All the best in 2007 Tiger!

Regards,
Steve
