Holly asks Todd what his thought are about Tiger withdrawing from that event. Todd says that anytime the world's most popular player ... the guy who is the most popular in this generation, with 79 PGA Tour wins and 14 Major championships, uses the word vulnerable to describe his game, then you understand that he is not ready to play on the world's greatest stage.  Todd said that he spoke with several PGA Tour veterans including Phil Mickelson who said that they have played on Tour when their game was vulnerable. Todd says the difference is that everything Tiger does is very scrutinized ... and maybe Tiger learned his lesson when he tried to come back a couple of years ago. Todd thinks Tiger wants to be completely ready and he is not there at this point. Todd say he really doesn't think it's a body issue or injury. Holly, Will and Todd talked about Tiger's shift in being more transparent about the status of his game. More than he was when he was younger.  Holly asks Todd about the Safeway and who might win. He shares that Phil Mickelson is bringing some momentum from the Ryder Cup and the course might favor Phil's game.
