    Tiger woodsTiger to build own D.C. course?

    The AT&T National will return to Congressional next year. But the club will host the U.S. Amateur championship in August 2009 and the U.S. Open in June 2011. One source connected to the tournament said that representatives of Tiger Woods's foundation have looked at potential sites inside the Beltway that would allow Woods, a budding golf course architect, to build his own course or renovate an existing facility. The source said that Woods might even be interested in taking an existing military course, either at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland or Fort Belvoir in Virginia, and do the sort of makeover that transformed Bethpage Black on Long Island, a public course in general disrepair, before the 2002 U.S. Open.

    I knew this was coming. I said this a buddy of mine not too long ago. I was shocked that it didn't happen a while ago. I wonder if it is going to be some type of league, private course.

    It was only a matter of time when he got something of his own. I mean he did work hard for it. So why not name something after yourself. I find it amazing that you get to do something like that. That means that your pockets are thick.

    I think it is about time he got his name on something. All the great do, why not Tiger.

    Exactly. I think Tiger Woods has brought some class to the sport, even when Fuzzy Zoeller made the racist comment after he won the Masters, Tiger just responded with dignity

    Good point, always. I think you are right about that. I remember that comment. I thought Zoeller was a jerk for saying it.

    Why is he building it in D.C.? I wonder?
