Golf's Good Guys

The generosity of Tiger. Fred vs. Mitt. The state of the surge. Doubting Christopher Hitchens. Enzyme Pulver. Plus much more.

The question I have regarding Tiger's amazing support of the troops at his tournament (with more stories than even Ms. Mitchell knows) is why did it take Tiger to do it with this class and to this degree?

A quick look at the PGA Tour schedule shows stops in Hawaii, San Diego, New Orleans, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Memphis, Atlanta and San Antonio -- all of which have substantial active-duty population including many, many wounded warriors. I'm fairly sure that these tour stops provide some bennies to the troops but why can't the sponsors pull it together as well as Tiger? And, by the way, he did it in only 188 days.
