Host and Producer Holly G and The Golf Insiders Social Media Expert, EVVUS, Will Perry, are in the studio talking about the kickoff of the new 2016-2017 PGA Tour season and other golf news.
In the third segment, Ted Johnson a journalist who lives in California and also blogs for The Golf Insiders, calls in to fill listeners in on what is on tap for the Safeway Open and Tiger Woods not playing in that event.
Ted wanted to know what happened in three days. From the time Tiger committed to the event until the day he withdrew. There are a lot of really good golfers competing in the Safeway. Does it make him scared or does it make him smart?
The event was big news and people bought tickets to the event who would not have and now are disappointed that they won't see Tiger. The course requires accuracy off the tee and that is something that Tiger hasn't been that consistent with of late. The course is flat and somewhat tight and not that wide. Ted said keeping it in the fairway is very important playing this Robert Trent Jones course.
Holly asks Ted why Tiger may not have chosen to compete in one of the five other PGA Tour events in the wrap around season and instead waiting until the Hero World Challenge at the end of the year. Ted feel that Tiger wants to protect his confidence.
Ted says that there are about 40 players in the field that could win the Safeway and that compared to a few years ago when there were a core of 5-10 players dominated the Tour.

Host and Producer Holly G and The Golf Insiders Social Media Expert, EVVUS, Will Perry, are in the studio talking about the kickoff of the new 2016-2017 PGA Tour season and other golf news.
In the second segment of the show, Todd Lewis, the Golf Channel, calls in to talk with Holly and Will from the Safeway Open. Holly asks Todd what his thought are about Tiger withdrawing from that event. Todd says that anytime the world's most popular player ... the guy who is the most popular in this generation, with 79 PGA Tour wins and 14 Major championships, uses the word vulnerable to describe his game, then you understand that he is not ready to play on the world's greatest stage.
Todd said that he spoke with several PGA Tour veterans including Phil Mickelson who said that they have played on Tour when their game was vulnerable. Todd says the difference is that everything Tiger does is very scrutinized ... and maybe Tiger learned his lesson when he tried to come back a couple of years ago. Todd thinks Tiger wants to be completely ready and he is not there at this point.
Todd say he really doesn't think it's a body issue or injury. Holly, Will and Todd talked about Tiger's shift in being more transparent about the status of his game. More than he was when he was younger.
Holly asks Todd about the Safeway and who might win. He shares that Phil Mickelson is bringing some momentum from the Ryder Cup and the course might favor Phil's game.
