The PGA TOUR is in Japan this week, the same event Tiger won in 2019 to tie Sam Snead’s record for PGA TOUR wins (82).
Tiger started that week with 3 straight bogeys. What he did next was historic.
Let me explain:
Quick IBF story…
Did commentary with him at Network 10 in Australia and caddied for him in Europe and USA. He told me something that has always stuck with me, which I continue to share with my kids regularly…
“It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”

I was lucky to work the 2019 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne. Someone told me Ian was arranging golf for media making the trip and organising it all personally.
I reached out. I was a no one. He included me. As a group we play Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath, Victoria and Metropolitan (in three days).
Ian was there at each, helping, organising and telling tales. Just a proud Aussie happy to help those traveling to his home country.
Cheers Ian, all the best.
