The bookmakers in Las Vegas have spoken. Now it's up to Tiger Woods and his new Dymo Prototype driver (8.5 degree) to determine whether he'll win his fifth Green Jacket at Augusta National, or not.
According to the latest report from the Las Vegas Sun, Woods, 33, is the overwhelming (+125) favorite to win this year's Masters tournament. Phil Mickelson is the oddsmakers' second favorite at 10-to-1.
Do you agree that Tiger will inevitably win again this week at Augusta? (Comment Below!)
Meanwhile, sadly, the spectre of race raises its ugly head again as the sole top golfer of African heritage, Woods, heads toward Amen Corner. ESPN is airing golf's dirty laundry with reports that verge on resentment toward Tiger for not labeling himself as a black man.
Eddie Payton, the Jackson State University golf coach and younger brother of Hall of Fame football player Walter Payton, accuses Woods of being "in denial" about his race. Woods responds, admirably, with allusions to his charitable work.
Are you tired of Tiger being pressured to embrace his blackness, given the inherent denial of all his other bloodlines that would entail? (Comment Below.)

It was very evident to me that Tiger and Phil were more into their own personal tete-a-tete than anything else - how did Kenny Perry talk Taylor-Made into letting him use a PING putter? Count on PING playing that up in an ad campaign if he wins - I can't remember the last time a PING putter won the Masters - especially a very non-conventional model like the Craz-E
Il semble que vous soyez un expert dans ce domaine, vos remarques sont tres interessantes, merci.
