13. Basic searches reveal........
nada. It would seem that Tiger Woods has donated money to no one politically. Tiger however has a very sophisticated organization handling his money. It seems likely that any monies he donated would be through a third party organization. All on the up and up, just not directly from the man himself.

Tiger was raised as a Buddhist, how does this make him a Re thug?

11. Lets see...
guys that make a bundle, not doing much, then getting endorsement deals. Making lots of money with little effort, heh, sounds rePuke'ish to me.
Just trying to pass the money on to their kids tax free is all.
Not a big surprise.

27. In a book about the PGA tour
I don't remeber the name of it, something about the the tour and how difficult it is to make it there was a section that was talking about the Ryders cup team, they were supposed to visit Clinton at the White House before flying overseas and none of the tour players wanted to meet him. I think Tom Kite was the Captain of the team and even though he did not want to meet with Clinton either he said that they did not have a choice and he had to remind them to be polite. I'll look for the book and post the title.

28. Jack Nicklaus is pretty chummy with
Bill Clinton. I know they have golfed together several times.
I even rembember there was a game that was Democrats vs Republicans with Nicklaus and Clinton on one side and Gerald Ford and ? on the other.

29. Nicklaus has been a long time Dem
And I golf and have also been a life-long Dem.

The game you're referring to is the infamous game where the Repubs claim Clinton played golf with Ken Lay. Actually, it was Gerald Ford that Lay played golf with that day.
