Is the Bug the only one who is completely fed up to the point of not caring when Tiger comes back! It is hardly surprising that a number of golfers have expressed their concerns over the timings of apologies, statements and eventual returns of the world’s most successful golfer. Of course, it will be great to have him back soon, but rarely has there been so much to be excited about British and European golf, and that is what the Bug is more concerned about. The first World Golf Championship was won by Ian Poulter, in an all English final with Paul Casey. Lee Westwood too is looking good again. McIllroy, Fisher and Dougherty, will want to repeat their victories of last year!

The Bug though is particularly happy that one Ernie Els managed to win for the first time in a couple of years at the CA Championship last night! Three majors is scant reward for a man of his talents, and a career without winning the Masters would not reflect his standing in the game!

Another point of note, was that Ernie beat off challenges from Charl Schwartzel, Padraig Harrington and Martin Kaymer; none of whom are Americans!

American golf seems to be reliant on one man for star quality at present, whilst the rest of the world has an abundance of talent and personalities.

Let’s forget about Tiger for a bit and focus on the great things happening with players who honed their skills on the European Tour!
