It’s been 40 years since Jack Nicklaus won his final tournament at the Masters. And nearly 30 since talk of Tiger Woods chasing his records began. So I wrote a book: TIGER V. JACK: Golf’s Great Debate. A celebration of two of the greatest golfers that explores the records, rivalries, statistics, and context of their illustrious careers. It drops this spring … read.macmillan.com/lp/tiger-v-jac…

Just for clarification: Tour's current deal is $7B in total (around $700M annually).

Pretty insightful from Rolapp on CNBC this morning. Asked about his biggest downside surprise since taking the job and starts talking about the media rights market. Notes the U.S. market is at $30B and the NFL takes up $12, a number that likely will increase substantially in its new deal. Seems to be inferring the tour will be potentially getting less than its current $7B

Very appreciative of Stephen E. Smith's review of my memoir A Quick Nine Before Dark (April 1, Tatra Press). "Straight-ahead storytelling at its best." "Writing is unfailingly lucid, exact and engaging." "More than another golf book." pinestrawmag.com/omnivorous-rea…

Then the question is who steps up to be Tier 1? I’ll guess Torrey, Phoenix, Valspar, Nelson, Colonial, Canada. Detroit, Greensboro. That is assuming they all want to do it. And it’s not knowing what the purses will be. They’ve had trouble getting buy in from all current sponsors for $20m purses. Do they lower them? Does the SSG money factor?

I think the goal is to have all of these top guys play the 20-22 events they normally play within tier 1. With larger fields the idea of “two” tours is actually lessened. Many not eligible for signature events now will be eligible for the new Tier 1. Tier 2 has to be a rung below and the system for movement between them will be interesting

Regarding Q#3 in this article... I enjoyed another great PLAYERS last week... but it begs a couple of questions about the PGAT's future. Q1: If the PGAT's future aim is to have 14-16 Signature events, with fields made up of all the best 120 PGAT players... then what makes the PLAYERS special anymore? Q2: When you try to make everything extraordinary, don't you run the risk of making everything ordinary instead?
