Michael Thompson notched his first career victory on the PGA Tour at The Honda Classic over the weekend but, it wasn’t a positive outing for everyone.

I guess I can understand the underlying animosity between Nickalus and Woods. One guy is the undisputed champ and the other is the young gun who, at least it seemed, was well on his way to being in a category all his own.

Check out what the Golden Bear had to say about Tiger’s chances of taking the crown.

If there’s one thing everyone knows about Augusta it’s that they do things their own way.Whether it be their strict and exclusive membership policies, or their incredibly small window during which the course is playable, Augusta is an institution like few others. Well, now that the beloved green jackets have been sold to non-winners, the pristine club is going to legal lengths to put a stop to these sales.

He has yet to put together a full weekend’s worth of golf thus far and, with his most recent withdrawal at the Honda Classic, perhaps the Golden Bear can steer him in the right direction.
