Ryder Cup News
“Most American golfers are married to women who cannot keep their clothes on in public. Is it too much to ask that they leave them at home for the Ryder Cup? Consider the evidence — Tiger Woods’s wife Elin Nordegren — pictured left — can be found in a variety of sweaty poses on porn sites across the web …”
- the Dubliner, in an article that ran this week
Tiger reacted strongly to the article in his press conference today. I think he’s probably most upset because, well, of what you get from a Google image search for “Tiger Woods wife.” But I’d definitely give the advantage to the U.S. team on this one — Tiger’s the type who can focus his angst into pure golf performance.
In other good news for the team this week, Johnny Miller said this Ryder Cup team is America’s “worst ever.” That can only help make the four rookies play better, right? Captain Lehman should read Miller’s comments out loud to the team each morning.
Speaking of American captain Tom Lehman, did you know he has never lost a singles match in the Ryder Cup? And his opponent, European captain Ian Woosnam, has never won one.
In spite of all this great news for the American team, any bookie will tell you that more people are betting on Europe to win this year. Lots more.
The matches start Friday.

Anybody else watching the opening ceremony this morning? Geez, it’s like a celebration of LSD, not a celebration of golf. Painted faces, bizarre costumes, women on stilts, giant helium balloons, weird colors, weird music. WTF?

1. Sure, Tiger’s a public figure, but taking cheap shots at his wife is crossing a line. You just don’t do that.
2. That same google search also turns up a photo of Natalie Gulbis…fine golfer, extremely beautiful and pride of Latvia.

I should have known you’d be familiar with Gulbis. What a swing. Seriously. As a bit of a student of golf swings, I think hers is one of the best examples of “pouring every damn ounce of your body into it” that there has ever been. I’d put her and Tom Watson in his 20s/30s in a class by themselves among pro golfers on that measure.
Fun to watch, but every time she swings the club I feel like she swung too hard and it’s going to be a disaster. But it’s usually a spectacular shot, she knows what she’s doing. If I tried that move, I’d be in traction before the clubhead ever made it back down to the ball.
