Found this last night, although it is an older item. Just wondering if TW will actually get any money unless he performs well.

According to King, all TaylorMade contracts require players to enter a certain number of tournaments per year, but he did not say how many events Johnson must play. One PGA Tour agent says that requirement is typically 20 events. Johnson has played 19 events in the Tour’s 2013-'14 wrap-around season, including seven consecutive starts in May and June. Johnson’s guaranteed contract is worth millions of dollars but King characterized it as being “very incentive-based.”

    For sure !

    And he will be actively involved in developing a set of golf clubs for his use.
    Now the lab at Nike closed down so he will have to find a replacement.

      Doesn't look to good for Mr. Woods making the cut.

      I thought he played the hell outta #16, myself.

      I remember a time when he would say after the round, "I fought my tail off out there" and he shot 69, instead of the same comment being applied to a round of 76.

      The one thing that stuck out was that he was "dismay" or "not happy" with his game. I remembered when he was younger, he'd kept grinding away after a bad hole or two, now the fame he had accumulated in the past decade or two had became a " baggage".
      He needs to adjust his attitude ( hi Steve 😉 ) and take it from there. He had forgotten that he is no longer the number one. A " has been"at best. If he really wants to stay on Tour and win some tournaments, he needs to face the music and dance with the tune that was played to him. He can not reminisce and feel frustrated every time he has a bad shot.

      In other "has been" news, Michelle Wie somehow squeezed a contract out of Callaway and promptly missed the cut this week.
      LOL

      Read that it only took Tiger 5 hrs and 20 mins to play yesterday, feel bad for Day and DJ, who were waiting a few times in the fairway while Tiger took relief and they searched for his ball in the rough

        Tiger's swing screams " My back is not ready for this ". Those who have had bad backs know
        that swing well. He is going to have to make adjustments to continue playing at Tour level....

          I could be the case and maybe a little between the ears.
          I know when one has an injury like that would subconsciously try to protect the old injury.

            To be honest, Jason Day hasn't looked that much better thus far. +1 through 8 on the day, +2 overall.

            I wonder how much of a role he played in the 5-hour and 15 minute pace yesterday... every shot he faced (that I watched) he backed off of at least once.

            Woody needs to play the next 8 holes in 4-under to make what appears to be the number to eke into the weekend at Torrey. Not feeling it.

            C'mon, get off his ass fellas. He's beating Rick Lamb, fer chrissakes.

            Watched a few holes yesterday. Lois like off the tee he's setting for a fade and either hitting a push-block or double crosses and hits a pull hook.

            Seems like he was tired later in the round when he was hitting and scoring bad.

            Just needs to get in game shape is all.
            Didn't watch anything today yet

            Numerous times it looked like Tiger was setting up for a fade, but then trying to turn the ball over from an open setup. Maybe I was seeing things, dunno... misses were predominantly right.

            Today was a bit more manageable, but he's definitely going to need several tournaments to get some things figured out.

            All I know is that outside of maybe 2-3 guys, there weren't many realistic birdie putts being shown on tv. The greens looked very bumpy, even the short ones required all of their attention, and even then a few short ones missed. Rough looked rather healthy, course didn't look like it was in too good of shape. Fairways looked pretty gnarly for a tour venue, but the wet weather the past few weeks was something beyond their control.

            Neither course was easy by the looks of things.

            never seen so many pros miss short putts....

            Now, not many people gave him a chance to even make the cut, and he didn't. Then, everyone is ready to say he is basically in over his head trying to play with these guys, or has a lot of problems, or will never be good again. A lot of top names also missed the cut with him, and they have been playing well(exception is Jason Day, who's been off, also with injury) recently. Even last week's winner. I'd say he's in top company & still fits in, keeping up with the best of them.

            But migawd, I'm so glad I was not a spectator along the left side fairways!! This man reeked!!
