Tiger Woods received 300 million of high appearance fees to participate in the Australian Masters to the southern hemisphere. From the enormous effect of his term, he was really value for money, it is no wonder that Australia hopes that next year will once again see his shadow. However, if Tiger Woods can come to defend, everything has been set. Perhaps in the end, only the appearance fees alone.
Tiger Woods is still wearing a gold award Australian Masters jacket, his limousine waiting for him, took him to the airport prepared. However, there is one thing to Tiger Woods in Kingston – Heath Golf Club (Kingston Heath) to do. He stood on a bench looking outwards about 250 volunteers. These volunteers gathered at the event outside the office in order to see his last one. Tiger Woods thanked them for their support, he said there was no volunteer support, the competition can not be so special.
But a guy’s speech for Tiger Woods is not the slightest interest in – This is in line with the character of ordinary Australians – when his companion while listening to one side laughing when he broke Tiger Woods’s speech. “When we talk to those East West Shui crooked ball, right?” “You should give these people these kicked the ball back to the fairway,” Tiger Woods jokingly replied, “I come here next time when you must be doing it. ”
Tiger Woods, then, albeit amusing, but it also led to another problem. This problem is not just car parks, hundreds of volunteers would think that those who pass through the club doors about 100,000 fans, tournament office-bearers chiefs, and those who saw the world and first one person will like. Tiger Woods in the end, when will the next time back?
“I am willing to come back.” Tiger Woods on three occasions that this is the case, but he did not say whether he will come back defending champions. PGA Tour winner, Tiger Woods rarely do not defend. In addition to injuries, there is only one exception. In 1999, he was not defending the BellSouth Classic. That game was changed to the United States the week before the Masters, Tiger Woods was never the week contest. International competitions, because the relationship between appearance fees, the situation will be different. Tiger Woods did not go back twice defending champion, he won the 1997 Asian Honda Classic and the 2000 Johnnie Walker Classic after, do not go back. That matches were held in Thailand.
This time, Tiger Woods won the Australian Masters three million U.S. dollars in appearance fees, half of which by the Victorian Government. “I think he will not come back.” Ian – Baker – Finch (Ian Baker-Finch), said, “But if he came back defending, then great.”
Perhaps a more important question is: If Tiger Woods did not come back, the Australian golf what would happen? Australia is a golf power, its exports will exceed the number of PGA Tour players all the other countries outside the United States. However, Australia’s own professional golf has emerged in this decade of stagnation, sponsorship fees and the enthusiasm of the people are in a very low level. Ever since Greg – Norman is no longer the first in the world since the last week in Kingston – Heath’s grand occasion had disappeared for many years. “We have got a huge boost.” IMG Australia events division is responsible for the operation of David – if the Luo (David Rollo) said, “If our results do not last week 80% is good, we will lose a great opportunity.”
However, the attractiveness of Tiger Woods is one thing worthy of attention. Indeed, he no matter where it will attract a large number of audiences. Even when Tiger Woods, the week prior to the HSBC Champions in China, he was also attracted to the audience in history. Tiger Woods is now in 13 countries have won the championship, and in fact, those who left his footprints in the continent he lifted the trophy. Even so, Melbourne is still the world’s biggest sports cities. The people here have seen too much cricket, rugby, tennis, car racing as well as the swimming champion. But the Tiger Woods of their appeal is not the same as with other sports stars.
On Saturday, a woman standing beside the first green, and she stared into the cold Shengquan of a journalist. She is not sure why the reporter to enter there, she only knew this person to see Tiger Woods, no barriers. “This is probably the best day of your life.” The woman said.
Sunday starting in the same group with Tiger Woods is the scorekeeper Kingston – Heath member, her almost as a career best score of 69. She has a clear understanding of golf. When Tiger Woods to tee off in the final round, she looked at the young guy with the scoreboard said: “It has the holy grail of golf being.”
Melbourne, the city’s fans usually are not scheduled tickets, and they would prefer to start the day of the event to the entrance to the ticket. PGA Tour 2001 held here in WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, it was discovered the problem, because so few vote-buying audience, they had to give up a week-long packages instead of selling tickets for a day . But the Australian Masters of change. The first week of October, event tickets will be sold out. And 35% of the tickets sold to the State of Victoria, or areas outside of Australia. This is in Melbourne’s history, but unheard of wonders.
“I think it is because he is the world’s top-ranked athletes, people treasure this opportunity for him to play.” Former British Open champion Ian – Baker – Finch is currently working on television, he commented Road, “People are very important to him, everyone around him. This is a special week, not just for golf in terms of special, in terms of Australia and the sport is also very special. For me personally, something they are super – Value. ”
David – if the Luo said the Australian Masters to take over IMG, when set itself the goal is to attract top players to come to Australia outside of competition. Victoria and New South Wales Government in the Government’s contention, and finally led to a Tiger Woods. Is proved to be a big reward. Although the state government paid for half of the appearance fees, but reported that the city’s economic gains for the 20 million U.S. dollars.
Tiger Woods next year whether to return to Australia, not everyone was optimistic, especially in 2011, he will go to the Royal Melbourne to participate in the case of the President’s Cup. So Tiger Woods does not come, in the end what may happen? Tiger Woods 20 years old participated in the Illinois at the 1996 Quad City Classic when he was 54-hole lead, but eventually lost the fee, Warren G. (Ed Fiori) was tied for fifth. Tiger Woods play inspired by the local community a great enthusiasm for the PGA Tour. While Tiger Woods never returned to participate in the race, and now the game stronger than ever before. Has been renamed the John Deere Classic game although the week before the British Open this year, attracted to the lineup is stronger than ever before.
David – if the commitment to Luo said the IMG band 3 in the world rankings every year at least 25 stars within the non-Australian nationals to participate in the Australian Masters. Some people say that they had waved to Phil Mickelson, the other where there are several other players had echocardiography. “I hope to live, or to watch the game the children will say: ‘I am willing to participate in golf.’” David – if Lo said, “hope that this could be the legacy of Tiger Woods.”
