The PGA Tour has decided to “randomly” pair Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson together for the first round of the Doral WGC Cadillac Championship. Interestingly enough the two of them were rarely ever paired together on the opening day of tournaments, either by decision or random draw.
The PGA Tour is desperate for ratings, and they have to figure that Tiger and Phil may need each other to produce some magic and create a premier group pairing pre weekend. Also the way that each of them has been playing; they may not make the cut either. Right now each of them are playing like weekend hacks. Well not exactly but on PGA tour terms breaking par seems to happen every three rounds with each of them. Quite frankly they are both headed in the wrong direction and there doesn’t seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel.
