The $6,500,000 Cap May Cost Its Creator

Tiger continues to dominate as the Masters approaches.  And, it also appears that he is going to cap-out sometime around the British Open, so Team MacKay will eventually need some help from the likes of Seung-Yul Noh and John Daly to be atop the standings at the end of the year--- the only time it counts.  Although, Tiger can still add just over another $3,000,000 to Team MacKay's total earnings,  indicating that any team hoping to catch Rod will need its first rounder (or any other pick for that matter) to at least get his earnings in the $5,000,000 range.    

Since it is Easter Weekend, and because I have seven moves to worry about, I will be taking next week off. 

I would like to thank everyone for their positive feedback as we get this blog going.  I double checked all the players with no earnings, and I couldn't find any discrepancies, most of them seem to be currently injured; however, a few of them should be back soon. Any ideas for a Masters pool?

Golf's Better When Tiger's Good

I'm sure Rod would agree with the headline; that said, Tiger is probably more interested in resuming his chase of Jack than helping Team Mackay win the pool.  As such, this link compares Tiger's age with Jack's for each of their major victories.  As the chart indicates, at 37, Tiger has to start winning some majors soon if he is going exceed Jack's 18 wins.  Granted, Tiger has a chance to have a more productive later career because he has always been a much more finely tuned athlete than the Golden Bear was, but the talent pool Tiger faces is a lot deeper than it was forty years ago.   Thus, Tiger is a different guy and this is a different time, so who knows how it will turn out, but I think he gets it done.  And, its going to come in a spurt--- wouldn't be suprised if he won three major in the next two years.

A Steady Thompson Wins, While A Shaky Rory Walks Off

On The Fringe is on the move.  As I said a couple of weeks ago, a team that was in the bottom half of the standings would need a win to get back into the chase.  Well, I was wrong--- two seconds and a third in the last two weeks was good enough to lift the Fringe into contention.  In other news, it looks like the rest of the field is quickly gaining on the Witnits,  they better hope Snedeker's rib is in better shape than Rory's psyche.
