Had tickets to the WCG at Bellerive in 2001 - the event was cancelled due to 9/11.
Went to the BMW championship in 2008 - he missed due to injury.
Have tickets to the Masters next week, and he just had back surgery.
Suck it, Trebek.

Meh, watched him at Southern Hills in '01 and again at the Ryder Cup in '12.
He's not worth dealing with the mobs that obsess over him. If you really like golf, you can use this to your advantage because you can follow almost any other golfer very closely.
All this means is that Phil will have a huge following now, since 75% of the people that attend golf tournaments only want to watch Tiger, since he is their only understanding of golf. It's pathetic, since the common fan doesn't know jack shit about golf, other than what Tiger shot? Or how did Tiger play? With Tiger out, that 75% will just cling to the next most popular guy, ie, Phil
Edit - saw that you are only going to the Par 3/practice stuff, so I can see why it would have been cool to see Tiger in a more relaxed setting. I was thinking you weren't really missing anything out with Tiger being gone if you were going Thurs-Sun. Either way, you will have a damn good time on Wednesday.
