... teams made up of Champions Tour and PGA Tour players. He also says make these events anything but individual stroke play. Good ideas, Johnny. Here are some others. The Skins Game is getting old. Pair up calendar girls in a "bikini match:" Natalie Gulbis and Sophia Sandolo. Beer-drinking, cigarette-smoking, fat guys tournament: Daly, Craig and Kevin Stadler. You don't tee off til you've downed at least a six-pack. All-Jerk Classic: Rory Sabbatini, Tom Weiskopf, Vijay Singh, David Duval and Colin ...

If Ernie Els won this Masters, there’d be a joyous jolt through sports. And if Rory Sabbatini somehow didn’t throw up himself in a major and secured a green jacket, sports writers like myself would be dancing in the streets at the stories begging to be written. ...
