(as per the CBS telecast) when the world rankings come out tomorrow it will be the first time since the 1997 masters that Phil will be ahead of Tiger. Wow!!
Tiger has withdrawn from the Player's after scoring a 42 on the front 9.
He's been dealing with some nagging injuries since the Masters, but you'd have to think this is a huge set back. Second year in a row he has WD from the Players. Never played particularly well there. Won it once back in 2000 or 2001 I believe.

yeah he said in an interview a couple days ago his achilles was still bothering him...which is a death knell for golfers.
Surprised he even tried it this week with such an injury...just wont allow you to swing the way you need to...and with the amount of torque he generates, makes it impossible to play at any level near what he needs to be.
I think his knee was also bothering him which was likely a bi-product of compensating for the achilles.
It is almost like someone flipped a switch this year with all the younger guys who are contending. There are a few every year, but this year it seems like a whole bunch of different names are contending on a weekly basis. It is kind of fun to try and figure out if a player can carry his momentum or if someone else is going to break through.

I'm hoping for a nice dramatic finish to the Players here. Should be good as the leaders are on 14 right now.
