Woods won for the 74th time as he held off Bo Van Pelt on the back nine of the Blue Course at scorching Congressional Country Club to win the AT&T National on Sunday.
Tiger Woods passes Jack Nicklaus with 74th PGA Tour win – USATODAY.com:
"With a final-round, 2-under-par 69, Woods beat Van Pelt by two shots and became the first to win three times on the PGA Tour this season. It is the 12th season in which Woods has won at least three times. Woods has won three of his last seven starts and his 30-month winless drought on Tour after a late-night car accident in November 2009 is becoming a distant memory."

Tiger Woods improves AT&T position with 3-under 68
Glad to see Tiger scoring and teasing us again. The question is whether he can keep this going through Sunday.
Tiger Woods improves ATT position with 3-under 68; Hunter Mahan leads - ESPN:
"A day after comparing the conditions this week at Congressional to a U.S. Open, Tiger Woods fought his way on Friday morning to a 3-under-par 68 in his second round of the AT&T National.
Woods' two-day total of 2-under par left him five shots off the lead held by Hunter Mahan."

Tiger Woods admits short game coming up short
It's painful to watch Tiger's short game on TV. Hoping there's some improvement on the way.
Tiger Woods admits short game coming up short – USATODAY.com:
""I finally have a swing that doesn't hurt, and I am still generating power, but it doesn't hurt anymore," said Woods, who overhauled his swing previously with Butch Harmon and Hank Haney and is now working with Sean Foley. "I would say certainly my short game has been something that has taken a hit, and it did the same thing when I was working with Butch and the same thing when I was working with Hank."

A Piece of Paradise in Provence - Wine-Knows: Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Journeys
You've got to go to Chateau Talaud! Follow the link to learn more.
A Piece of Paradise in Provence - Wine-Knows: Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Journeys for the Discerning Traveler:
"Being the owner of a company that conducts food and wine tours throughout the world I am frequently asked regarding my favorite spot for a personal holiday. Both my husband and I agree that it is Chateau Talaud in Provence. We’ve been here too many times to count and each time this charmer exceeds our oh-so-very-high expectations.
I particularly love the attention to detail of the chateau...from the luxurious fabrics to the carefully chosen cutlery and dishes. It's easy to understand why the property has been featured in the European edition of Architectural Digest. But, the property is any thing but stuffy---it is quiet country elegance with a “comfort-food-for-the-soul” kind of vibe."

What’s next for Tiger Woods?
Updated May 23, 2024
The original link broke.
Sadly, Tiger isn't likely to return to form.
--- the original post follows below ---
"He’s healthy. He’s hungry. He’s hot.
Tiger Woods comes to the Olympic Club this week having recaptured much of the long-misplaced skill, swagger and intimidating aura that some thought was lost forever.
His reconstructed swing is starting to look sweet. His once legendary putter, while still betraying him at times, is beginning to revert to divining-rod form." . . .
"Perhaps Nicklaus’ opinion on Woods’ immediate future — specifically at Olympic — carries the most weight.
“I suspect No. 15 will come for Tiger Woods in about two weeks,” Nicklaus said at the Memorial trophy presentation. “If he drives the ball this way, and plays this way, I’m sure it will. And if not, it will surprise me greatly.”"

Tiger Woods Wins Memorial Tournament 2012, Ties Jack Nicklaus With 73 PGA Tour Wins
Matching another milestone.
Tiger Woods Wins Memorial Tournament 2012, Ties Jack Nicklaus With 73 PGA Tour Wins:
"With a remarkable rally even by his standards, Tiger Woods birdied three of his last four holes to win the Memorial on Sunday and match tournament host Jack Nicklaus with his 73rd title on the PGA Tour.
Woods was one shot behind and looking at probable bogey in deep rough behind the 16th green when he chipped in from 50 feet for birdie to tie for the lead. In the group behind him, Rory Sabbatini made bogey from the bunker on the 16th hole and never caught up.
Woods closed with a 5-under 67, matching the best score of the final round. He won the Memorial for the fifth time. Woods and Nicklaus are tied for second place in career wins on tour, trailing Sam Snead at 82."

Tiger Woods wins again, and for now, that’s enough
Wow, what a finish!
Tiger Woods wins again, and for now, that’s enough | Devil Ball Golf - Yahoo! Sports:
"This was a vintage performance from Woods, but let's not forget that his three greatest challengers, Spencer Levin, Rickie Fowler and Rory Sabbatini, all started leaking oil down the stretch. Woods deserved the win, but the troubles of his playing partner and the pairing behind him made it that much easier."

Sunday could be special for Woods at Memorial Tournament
Come on Tiger, hang tough and stay consistent!
Sunday could be special for Woods at Memorial Tournament | McClatchy Tribune News Service | The Bellingham Herald:
"Tiger Woods is 1 stroke and two rounds away from tying Jack Nicklaus for the second-most victories in PGA Tour history.
There would be no more fitting tournament to do it than the Memorial, founded and hosted by Nicklaus on the course that Jack built, Muirfield Village Golf Club.
"We've got a long way to go for that," Woods said. "Obviously it would be nice, but I've still got half a tournament to go.""

Tiger Woods' consistency saves his round of 70 at Memorial
Now if he could only keep it going and be consistent! . . . I'm hoping.
Tiger Woods' consistency saves his round of 70 at Memorial - ESPN:
"Coming off his worst three-tournament stretch as a pro, Tiger Woods returned to the type of golf Thursday that typically has led to good performances in his career.
Woods birdied three of the par-5s at Muirfield Village Golf Club, made several good par saves when he missed greens, and overcame a double bogey at his ninth hole to shoot 2-under-par 70 at the Memorial Tournament, where he trailed leader Scott Stallings by 4 shots."

Who hates cilantro? Study aims to find out
This is really interesting to me as I'm American-born and of Chinese descent. I grew up in a household that cooked using cilantro, and I hated it growing up. Now as an adult, decades later, I love cilantro!
The Body Odd - Who hates cilantro? Study aims to find out:
"Researchers found an aversion to cilantro ranged from a low of 3 percent to a high of 21 percent among six different ethnic groups.
Young Canadians with East Asian roots, which included those of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese descent, had the highest prevalence of people who disliked the herb at 21 percent. Caucasians were second at 17 percent, and people of African descent were third at 14 percent.
Among the herb's fans, the group with the fewest number of people who disliked cilantro were those of Middle Eastern background at 3 percent, followed by those of Hispanic and South Asian ancestry at 4 percent and 7 percent respectively."

Tiger Woods turning things around at The Players Championship
Good for Tiger! I wasn't sure he was going to make the cut.
Tiger Woods turning things around at The Players Championship - ESPN:
"He isn't on the Players Championship leaderboard. His two-day total puts him behind 29 other players. But at least Tiger Woods is still here, which is more than you can say for world No. 1 Rory McIlroy or for Eldrick, circa 2011."

4 golf greats differ on Tiger's future
Any way you look at it, it's going to be a long uphill climb.
4 golf greats differ on Tiger's future - Yahoo! Sports:
"Nicklaus and Player think Woods still has time to rediscover his game and surpass Nicklaus' total. Palmer thinks Woods is ''going to have trouble'' reaching the mark. Trevino thinks it'll be harder for Woods to win four more majors than it was to win the 14 he already owns."

Tiger Woods holds fans-only Q&A via social media Facebook, Twitter
The Q and A video on Tiger's website: http://web.tigerwoods.com/video/20946851
Tiger Woods holds fans-only Q and A via social media Facebook, Twitter - ESPN:
"The only questions Tiger Woods fielded before his next tournament came from his fans.
Instead of a news conference before this week's Wells Fargo Championship, Woods answered 19 questions Monday in a 15-minute video posted on his website. The questions were submitted through Facebook and Twitter.
The timing of the decision was peculiar. Woods is coming off his worst performance ever at the Masters, a tie for 40th in which he finished 15 shots behind and was roundly criticized for kicking his 9-iron in disgust after a poor tee shot on the par-3 16th hole in the second round.
Woods typically speaks to the media before every tournament. This time, he will not speak to reporters until his first round Thursday at Quail Hollow."

Code-sharing confusion scuttles Bahamas vacation
What?!
Since when does a colleague qualify to be a person's supervisor. Give us a break!
Code-sharing confusion scuttles Bahamas vacation:
"When you're on a code-sharing flight, it means you need to be extra careful. Don't just call your airline to confirm the flight - call the airline operating the flight. A system error like this, while rare, might be caught with a simple call.
If you're stuck in a situation like this again, politely ask the Expedia representative to escalate the call. You can do that by calmly asking to speak with that person's direct supervisor - not "a supervisor" or "someone in charge" since that can be interpreted in many ways and could land you with an agent's colleague who will proceed to tell you it can't be done."

Overhead Bin - Mishandled bag rates drop, but tensions remain in the airline cabin:
"Either way, for many travelers, the improvement in mishandled-bag rates is likely to be considered small consolation in light of the crush of carry-on bags in the cabin. In fact, according to a report issued by U.S. Travel, an industry trade association, last November, 72.4 percent of air travelers listed “people who bring too many carry-on bags through the security checkpoint” as one of their top five frustrations — more than any other complaint.
“All [the airlines] have done is move the problem from the belly of the plane to the cabin,” said Hess. “You sit there and someone comes in and insists they can fit their piano in the overhead bin. It’s ridiculous.”"
