 “Come Back Tiger,
we need you!"
That’s what the Victorian Government is saying and why wouldn’t they? The much criticized $3 million invested to bring Tiger to Melbourne for The Masters has reaped a One Thousand Percent return according to an independent source.
Victoria state tourism minister Tim Holding said the American was welcome back anytime, despite the revelations about his personal life, after his appearance injected A$34 million (US$31 million) into the local economy, almost double the initial forecast. More... |

Vijay is coming down under
The good news is we will see Vijay Singh down under later this year when he joins Geoff Ogilvy playing in Australia’s oldest professional event, the Australian PGA Championship at Coolum, Dec. 10-13 .
The former world number one and current number 13, World Golf Hall of Fame inductee Singh has not played in Australia since the 1998 Presidents Cup when he helped the International team beat the United States at Royal Melbourne.
"Vijay is a world class player and will be a major drawcard for Australian fans who have not had the opportunity to see him play here before,” said Max Garske, CEO of the PGA of Australia.
“It’s been a long time since I played in Australia and I am so excited to have been asked to play the Australian PGA Championship,” said Singh. “I have always intended to return to Australian shores and when I got the offer to play, I jumped at the chance.”
Vijay won the U.S. Masters in 2000 and the U.S. PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004 and has a mass of USPGA and International wins to his credit
The PAR 73, Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed, Hyatt Regency resort course has six newly designed holes this year due to part of the old course on the beach side of the highway being commercialised.

Excitement never lacking at Turnberry
TURNBERRY, Scotland -- The youngest and least-used venue in the current Open Championship rotation might also be the most scenic.
