I told my wife this news just now and she said: "the first time he has to chip, he'll thin it across the green and start holding his back and limping". It's fun being married to a golfer.

I bet he finishes in the top 5.

Tiger could finish top 10 there with his eyes closed.

solution to chipping yips? Hit every green.

The Masters has just confirmed for the first time in history there will be two sets of rules. (They still refuse to admit two sets of rules were already in effect since a player was not disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.) Tiger Woods is noted for his many stellar chips shots and putts as he has negotiated Augusta National over the years. That ability... that crowd aweing resume' has led The Masters to offer Woods that anything from 10 FT off a green is an automatic up and down. "From that distance, we all know Tiger will never take more than two shots. We understand this may penalize Woods, since history says he can make many of these from 10 FT off the green. To give the rest of the field a chance, Tiger has respectfully agreed to simply pick up and count it as two shots from anywhere on or around the greens. This negotiation also negated Tiger's threat to litigate if we didn't offer him a set of forward tees to protect his back from additional injury attempting to keep up with today's long hitters."

This will be interesting...

Top 5? That is very bold. What odds is Vegas giving?

Sounds like the regular rules of a foursome I used to play with..........
