It hasn’t necessarily been a good year for high-profile couples in golf. Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn appear to have been next in line on the chopping block.
Vonn and Woods announced that they had ended their three-year relationship on Sunday.
Whoa, this news caught me off guard a bit even though perhaps it shouldn’t have. Many would argue that Dustin Johnson should have fired bagman Bobby Brown long ago — there were slip-ups that Brown took the hit for, like last year’s US Open collapse at Pebble Beach, the bunker debacle at Whistling and the near DQ for a missed tee time at this year’s Northern Trust Open. But according to those inside the ropes, the pair were a perfect match (because even if Brown had tried to tell him to slow down at the US Open or not hit a shot left-handed, Dustin would have still done it if he wanted to). Well, in somewhat of a surprise, DJ and Brown have parted ways after three years of working together.
In a curious turn of events, Tiger Woods has called it quits with his Scotty Cameron putter. After 11 years, 63 wins and $83.6 million earned, Tiger has switched to the Nike Method putter for the British Open.
“I have a new putter in the bag,” he said nonchalantly after explaining his decision on which 2-iron he’ll play. “I’ve switched to the Nike putter for this week.”
