Tiger Fumes

Tiger Woods is mad at the PGA. Again. Woods thought, felt, wanted his friend, Mark O'Meara named Ryder Cup captain. Woods suggested that it would have been appropriate that O'Meara be named as he is of Irish descent and the Ryder Cup will be in Ireland. The third ranked player in the world feels O'Meara may be too old (51) by the time the next Ryder Cup comes around in four years.

I'm sure O'Meara is disappointed. As is Woods. However, Tom Lehman, the man who had the audacity to be named Ryder Cup captain, is probably disappointed to hear Woods' left-handed jab at him, too. Two full years before the event and Woods is already not happy about the Ryder Cup. So much for team chemistry the next time out.

If Woods doesn't like the PGA, the Ryder Cup captains, the travel, the lack of pay for participating or his teammates, maybe it's time for Tiger to just stay home. I'm sure Lehman could find someone else willing to take Woods' spot.
