Golf Digest wanted more of Tiger’s time. Tiger wanted more time to himself. So in the spirit of happy negotiating, the two parties decided to split ways on Thursday, and we will no longer see Tiger Woods’ golf instruction articles in Golf Digest. The two parties claim it’s a mutual split and it starts to make me wonder if Tiger’s agent, Mark Steinberg, is really not even fighting too much for these endorsements.

7 Golfers Who Would Be Awesome to Hear Miked Up
The Golf Channel and the PGA Tour need to find something to jazz up broadcasts, maybe peak the interest a little more of casual golf fan.

But now, it's finally payday Friday, and your buddies want you to meet them at the local watering hole. You instead, have to pass. Why?

My list of 5 Golfers Who Need to Have a Big 2011 includes top talent. Some of these golfers are considered by most to be among the best players in the world.
