your point to be taken seriously or your point to really mean something then

I would read over your post before pressing Post ...
Feel free to point out any and all of my typos and spelling errors. I only ask not to question my intellect while you do it:D

this is his 3rd week in a row playing and thats why he is not playing at the open next week, it is very rare for tiger to play 3 weeks in a row at anytime during the year as he plays a limited schedule. Arrogant? why do u say that cause he keeps winning. for you to think he plays other tournaments that are less meaningful shows that you know nothing about the PGA tour. Tiger only plays the top echelon of tourny's during the season. he plays the majors, the WGC events, TPC, Doral, Western open, all the buick events and the legends events(jack's, arnold's and byron's) plus this week's event because his charity is the one getting the money, as mentioned before. The canadian open means nothing in the PGA tour schedule, all of the meaningful tourny's are done with only the WGC Amex and the tour championship left plus next month's Ryder Cup which tiger seems to be pumped for this year more then i can ever remember him being.

don't make comments about topics you know nothing about.

Topics I know nothing about? lol, sure Jack. I've been golfing since you were in diapers.

And for the idiots who think the course has anything to do with these players not coming, it's been voted one of the best in Canada!

The other thing people aren't looking at are Tiger's sponsors. Do you think that they have say in what tournaments he goes in? If I'm paying him millions of $$ in endorsments would I have a say at all?

Just a thought, don't know much about the insides of golf.

Has anyone told Tiger that Hootie and the Blowfish are in town during the Canadian Open??? And maybe Terb should put a spell check tab on their site, I sure could use it.

Tiger has a set schedule and new pup and of course Elin Nordegren.

Now let me see... Hamilton or Elin Nordegren?

Hands down she wins!

These guys play the toughest courses in the world...Bethpage Black... Augusta... Winged Foot... Saint Andrews... Olympic Club.... Pinehurst.... courses that leave most of the field shoting over par.... but they are AFRAID of a course in Canada.

Has a Canadian Open ever had a winner with a score above par?

I am sure it is a fine course. These are the best golfers IN THE WORLD. Tiger Woods isn't afraid of any fucking golf course...the man has missed like 5 cuts in 10 years...

As has been alredy stated by MANY, the Canadian Open is an insignificant tour stop in its current manifestation. It means a lot to YOU...but so does the Greater Milwaukee Open to the people in Milwaukee.

Holy smokes...not a day passes that Canadian "me too!" factor doesn't rear its ugly head...too hard...what a joke.

Tiger Woods not coming to the Canadian Open weighs heavy on those that suffer from the great Canadian inferiority complex.

Tiger coming to the CO is only relevent if you plan to go to the course and watch him in person. Unless you're 8'10" tall, you're not going to see much anyway.

Once Tiger won the event in 2000, there was little reason for him to come back. Winning the CO was just another thing he acclomplished that Jack Nicklaus couldn't.

you once again have proven you know nothing about the PGA tour or Golf in general!

Just because you golf doesn't mean you know anything about golf!

the fact that you called the WGC bridgestone invitational a mediocore event proves you have no clue what you are talking about. you have been told by every other poster on this thread that you know nothing about golf and that your comments are dumb and ridiculous.

Hamilton G&CC is a great course i have played there, the pro's loved it a few years ago and it is the best course in canada according to score golf, but that doesn't mean anything - the pro's play much better and tougher courses all year long as stated before. the course has nothing to do with the players coming. its the dates and as mentioned before, to the pro's the canadian open doesn't mean anything its just another tourny.

next years date change to include it into the fedex cup roster was great but then the date is right after the british open, catch 22. if you want tiger to play then get a date 2 weeks before a major cuz he always plays 2 weeks before a major!

anyways interesting topic, too bad you have no knowledge of it...so just keep quite.

Hey moron, I was stating that the Canadian Open has just as much to offer as those other tournaments do by comparison and yeah maybe mediocre is too harsh a word but this tournament still attracts great golfers but there’s other reasons why Tiger doesn’t come here.

And everyone on here has told me that I have no clue? Really jerkoff? Where? Maybe in your world! And yes idiot I did point out certain other dates and with mention to the Golf starting way too early for the pros which does mean a lot in what tournaments they play in. If you haven’t figured it out by now the real losers are the golf fans that don’t get to see Tiger but you already knew that right dipshit?

I didn’t attack you until you lashed out with your childish insults so I’ll stoop to your level now.

By the way little man, you wouldn’t have the balls to repeat any of your words on here to my face so I suggest you keep it quiet from now on.

That’s what I thought, bitch. ;)

Right.. the players will kill Angus Glen.. Angus Glen was one of the biggest jokes on the tour on 2002, and there other course will be the same on 2007.

With a shitty PGA course and bad timing next year, we might have the worst field on the tour.

Thankfully, they are playing at a great course this week that is well admired by the PGA tour players. This will help the field quite a bit.

This issue is beyond just the Canadian Open. The PGA tour has taken a strategy to heavily promote its key events as a way to generate attention for its product and hence its lesser tournaments. The problem is that the top players become too busy with the key "must-attend" events, and they then don't show up at the lesse fields. (Basically a poor distribution of stars accross events_

It's not only the Canadian Open has this problem. Heck stellar tournaments such as the Colonial, Western, Pebble Beach, Doral, Byron Nelson have had very weak / average fields lately as well.

If you are Tiger, Phil, Vijay, before the season starts you already have 11 slots fiiled.

1. The Mercedes - All the prior year winners.
2. The World Match Play
3. The TPC at Sawgrass
4. The Masters
5. The US Open
6. The British Open
7. The PGA
8. Bridgestone
9. AMEX (WGC)
10. Ryder / President's Cup
11. The Tour Championship

1,2,3,8,9,11 are all inventions in the last 25 years by the PGA Tour - all hyped tournaments that bring out the best in the world

The players of yesteryear considered courses like the Canadian Open, the Western Open, Pebble as great tournaments. Unfortunately, they can't attend them all anymore.

Canadian Open
Fall Finish presented by PricewaterhouseCoopers
Purse: $5,000,000


the purse is more than average for the tour ...

Bell Canadian Open -- Moves from September date and cable coverage to late July on CBS, one week after British Open. Summer date will provide warmer weather and firmer, faster course conditions.

... partof the FedEx Cup next year; televised on CBS ... might have a better field than you'd think.
exactly. Being part of the FedEX point race, the tourney will have more value. In tennis, the Rogers Cup was practically worthless with its scheduling usually a week prior to US Open or so but as soon as it became a Tier I event and part of the US Open Series, the top players in the world came. That's the problem with the Canadian Open, they also have issues with scheduling, unlike other tournaments, the Canadian Open switches its courses yearly. Majority of the players are currently in the east coast, why would they have to travel to lets say the West Coast to play an Open and than travel over to the west again. Its very tiring.

With regards to cumshotking, Tiger isn't arrogant. Don't know why you would make such a ridiculous comment when the guy has done a crap load for golf and i think Golf in general OWES Tiger Woods a lot for what he has done for the game.

Well put maurice. Also a great synopsis of the current state of professional golf. The Canadian Open was considered an important tournament, a "fifth" major. But that was 35 years ago. C'est la vie.

Wherever work requires me....
I believe the PGA was considering an idea that a player must play in every tournament at least once every three years. Think Finchem actually discussed this with Tiger and he wasn't thrilled with it...

1st post...yes
alias...no.

Moronic? Well read your initaial post in this thread. If you did know anything about golf you would know that tiger not playing here is the norm. Top golfers have 12 or 13 tourneys picked out at the beginning of the season. No surprise..Not even remotely that he isn't going to be here. Not to mention playing his 3rd in 3 weeks.

so junior golf dude. if you are so knowledgeable, why the post?
