Hello everybody!

What’s new today in the golf world?

For starter, we have a new #1!  26 year old German Martin Kaymer has climbed to the top of the golf world. Kaymer only started the European Tour in 2007,but since then the Ryder Cup player has won nine times including the PGA Championship last year. Good for you Mr. Kaymer!

For up and coming champions, the news is good too. Jordan Spieth, a 17-year old who won over the gallery at last year’s HP Byron Nelson Championship and was in the run for the title, has agreed to return on a sponsor’s exemption to the PGA Tour event in 2011, in an attempt to finish his senior high school year. The talented teenager will play golf at the University of Texas next fall.  All the best to you Jordan!

Tiger Woods, as always, makes the news as well. The most recent news is that he will not play in the Honda Classic next week at the PGA Nationals in Palm Gardens, Fla. His agent says that the  it is not because of his first-round loss last Wednesday in the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona, but because of previously existing commitments.

Golfer Mathew Goggin, a 36-year old two time winner has won the Nationwide Tour Season opening Panama Championship, shooting a 2-under 68 on Sunday for a two stroke tour. He earned $99,000.

Hello Everybody!

I trust everyone is gearing up for a fantastic weekend. Today we’re going to start with some news about one of the most well-known faces in Golf.

Tiger Woods will end the season without a single PGA Tour win for the first time ever in his career. It has not been a good year for Woods; recently there’s been news that Tiger Woods agents was so concerned about another book about Tiger that he all but offered the new author of a book about Tiger’s relationship with his father that he all but offered money to make it go away.

But there might be hope for Tiger in the future; even though it took Lee Westwood 16 years to become number 1, he says has no great expectation of staying in the forefront position. Woods is closely behind him, followed by Martin Kaymer vying for the top spot. But of greater concern than his competition is a calf injury that affects his ankle, which has been keeping him out of action since July. We hope for a speedy recovery.

Fred Couples, a 50-year old who just finished his rookie year on the Champion Tour has said that his is finished as a competitive player on the PGA Tour. A laid-back fan favourite, Couples has said that although he may be finished as a competitive player, he still might play a couple of PGA Tour events.

South Korea’s LPGA Tour player Jiya Shin shot a 6 under 66 at the Mizuno Classic, taking a two stroke lead over American Stacy Lewis. Shin had six birdies at the KintetsuKashikojima Country Club for a total of  13-under 131.

And speaking of LGPA Tour, the Northwest Arkansas Championship will return next season, with Tournament Officals saying that the event will be played September 9^th to 11^th at the Pinnacle Country Club with the winner earning $300,000 from a total purse of 2 million dollars.

Brendan Steele won the Nationwide Tour Championship Sunday, beating Colt Knoste, earning his PGA Tour Card. Knoste also earned his PGA Tour Card, and both will be among the 14 newcomers to the Tour next Season. Congratulations Boys!

And that’s it for today!

A very happy weekend from all of us at Knetgolf.com!
