Both were a spectacle of terrific golf and a great way to finish the 2009 season. Last year we were waiting for the return of Tiger from his knee operation. Now we have the media mumblings regarding Tiger, and the disappointment of his withdrawal from his own hosted tournament, the Chevron World Challenge. We will have to wait again and see what develops here. It is nearly Christmas, and for many their annual holiday. Take the time to relax, play some golf, and prepare for the 2010 season starting in Hawaii on the 7th January. I wish all GoforGOLFers the best festive season, and a great 2010 Golf Season. . . . . . .
