Yes. I think it's the last tournament on the calendar, and the winner gets a $10m annuity, but I don't watch much anymore and I might be mixing up a few things.

Anyone heard from Jon Voight?

Happened to me once and scared the shit out of me. One minute I was driving into a neighborhood to deliver a vehicle, the next minute I had hopped a curb and was headed towards a tree. Stopped the truck. Looked to make sure I hadn’t flattened anyone and drove off the curb, parked and caught my breath. Delivered the vehicle and got back in my truck to go home and was terrified to drive the 90 minutes back to Baltimore. If someone had been out walking their dog, I’d have killed them. It took me a while to get my shit together and drive home. Really freaked me out. It wasn’t late at night, I had slept well the night before, I wasn’t shit faced, just passed out while driving.

Hasn’t happened since, but it has stuck with me for years. I’m not saying this is what happened to Tiger, but it made me think of that evening.

I never sensed that Tiger wanted to be treated like a king. He never had a big entourage. He never bragged about what he’d won or how much money he had. Tiger didn’t big-time. The most entitled I ever saw him act was when he drove around Orlando. It wasn’t that he favored fast cars. He owned a McLaren and a Porsche that were basically race cars, but they stayed in the garage from what I could tell. Mostly he just drove his Escalade, but in a way that reflected an impatient guy who wasn’t going to follow the silly rules of regular schlubs. He’d go over the speed limit, but not by a lot. Mostly it was rolling stops, turns over double lines, parking in a restricted spot—time-saving stuff he thought was worth the risk. When I was in the passenger seat, sometimes I’d say “Nice” after one of his illegal moves. That would draw a smile from Tiger as he enjoyed the rare feeling of breaking rules. But I never saw him get a ticket or even get pulled over.
