GEE-OFF (GeoffOgilvy): Why is a Korean television network broadcasting a Tour event? Hopingto platform their U.S. brand?

iWENTtoDUKE (JoeOgilvie): Brother, their checks will be just as liquid as Mercedes'. Just nocar for the winner. But the C-series depreciates 54% the minute you takedelivery anyway.

ForeRIGHT (TigerWoods): I still won't play.

ExPGA_JohnDaly(John Daly): Hey boys, I can almost smell the chain restaurants and exhaustfumes on A1A. Wish I was there—hawking crap.
