Golfing Bodybuilder?

Did you see the bodybuilder playing the course at Augusta yesterday? Dude's arms are huge and he's got a scuplted V back. Well, he looks like he could have been a developing bodybuilder. It was just Tiger Woods.

Seriously, does he look even more fit and muscular than he has in years past? Guy is just an all around animal. In the weightroom, on the golf course, and as a marketer.

So, he's off to a decent start, having put up a 70 yesterday. He's tied for 20th with that score after one round, along with previous winner Zach Johnson and yes, you guessed it, "The Shark". Maybe the only man on the course who could take the spotlight away from Tiger.

If you told Tiger that being in 20th position after the first round was an extremely good sign, he might give you a bit of a funny glance. But it is. Tiger has won this thing four times, going for his fifth, and guess what? Each of the previous times he's worn the green jacket on Sunday, he's been in 20th position after the first round. Hmmmmm. Anyone wanna bet that Tiger wins this thing?

Tiger Woods Wins.....Again

With Phil Mickelson sitting this one out, Tiger Woods decided to take over the course at Cog Hill on the final day. Tiger shot an amazing 63 for the day (8 under par) to finish at 22 under par for the tournament and win the BMW Championship. Vintage Tiger, playing with his Nike SasQuatch Tour 460 driver!

According to pgatour.com, Tiger ranked third in average driving distance for today's round at Cog Hill, behind Brett Wetterich and Bubba Watson. Watson led the field in average distance with a 313.3 yards average, while Tiger averaged 311.8 yards from the tee box.

Tiger Wood's Driver

Although it has been reported that Tiger's driver is highly customized for him, tigerwoods.com states that Tiger Woods' driver is a Nike SasQuatch Tour 460 cc driver (8.5 degree).

The current best price for this driver, as listed on http://www.bizrate.com/ is $529.99. You might be able to find a used model on eBay currently in the $175 range without shipping costs.

According to http://www.golfio.com/, "The Nike SasQuatch Tour 460 driver has a taller face height and less breadth than the Sas Quatch 460cc. This unique profile delivers a more boring trajectory and the increased workability desired by better players. To get a hotter response and greater consistency, the SasQuatch Tour 460 has a face of layered yet tightly compressed titanium called NexTi, developed exclusively for Nike Golf. Available only in Nike Golf drivers, NexTi titanium face is thinner, stronger and lighter than conventional titanium. Combining NexTi material with SasQuatch Geometry provides a powerful blend of distance and accuracy."

You can find the 9.5 degree, stiff flex model for $199, currently at http://www.edwinwattsgolf.com/.
