TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- At times Tuesday, it was hard to tell if Phil Mickelson was a promoter for the PGA Tour or a contender for the PGA Championship.
This week brings a change in the Golf Power Rankings. Our old formula worked well, but perhaps too well as it mirrored the FedEx Cup points list and the money list very closely. In order to bring something new to the table and add a little volatility the ranking will now reflect the 10 players who've earned the most FedEx Cup points over the previous six weeks, therefore providing an accurate snapshot of who's playing the best at the current time.
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Rory Sabbatini knows he will need to take a break to avoid becoming fatigued and frustrated.
(AP) -- John Daly withdrew from five tournaments and missed the cut in eight others on the PGA Tour. His best finish was third place at the Skins Game, which had only four players. And that didn't really count because it was after the 2006 season, the worst of his career.
EAST MOLINE, Ill. (AP) -- Michelle Wie accepted a sponsor's exemption Tuesday to play in the John Deere Classic for the third straight year, continuing her effort to make the cut in a men's event.
On Sunday afternoon, moments before he stepped to the 1st tee at the Players Championship for the most momentous round he has played in a while, Phil Mickelson offered his new swing coach a soul handshake and a manly slap on the back. "Thanks for everything, Butch," said Mickelson, and those four little words added yet another layer of intrigue to the ongoing melodrama that is his career. Butch would be Claude Harmon Jr., known far and wide by his nickname and for his work as Tiger Woods's former instructor, most notably during Woods's run from 1999 through 2002, the most dominant golf ever played.
(AP) -- Tiger Woods was once so nearsighted he said he would be considered legally blind without glasses or contacts. He had Lasik surgery in October 1999 after the Ryder Cup, won the Disney Classic in his first tournament back and has done fairly well since.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Tiger Woods hit his stride early with three birdies through five holes and a collection of par saves that kept his round going. Vijay Singh came to life late with an eagle-birdie flurry to rescue an otherwise shaky round.
IRVING, Texas, April 29 -- You didn't need to see any of the 66 shots Scott Verplank played Sunday in the EDS Byron Nelson Championship's final round. You didn't need to see the two-footer he shook in for the victory that meant so much, the win of a lifetime.

It's funny how quickly the supposedly hard-hitting Washington media forgot about the bad treatment the defunct Booz Allen Classic (formerly the Kemper Open) received from the PGA Tour once the D.C. area became the replacement venue for the International in July.

Guess what? You can have a PGA Tour event without Tiger, Phil, Vijay and Ernie. The Honda Classic, which wrapped up with a four-man playoff on Monday morning, had a B-list field yet turned out to be the best tournament of the year.
When Jack Vickers canceled the International three weeks ago, he laid the corpse at the feet of Tiger Woods, saying, "If something isn't done, you're not going to have a Tour. Right now, it's a one-man show". But the long-held belief that Woods alone drives ratings has taken a hit so far this year. Woods has played only twice, though at press time full ratings were not yet available for the Accenture Match Play. At the Buick Invitational viewership was down 8.2% on Sunday from the 2006 figure, even though Woods started in contention and rallied on the back nine to win. (It is still the most-watched golf broadcast of the season so far.) Meanwhile, Sunday ratings at Tiger-less Pebble Beach were up 19.0% for Phil Mickelson's cruise to victory, and they were up again the next week (31.1% over '06) when Mickelson lost the Nissan Open in a playoff to Charles Howell. The only other event that was broadcast on network television, the FBR Open, in which Woods didn't play and Mickelson missed the cut, posted rating

American Charles Howell III, second twice this season in his first three PGA Tour starts, plans to take a leaf out of Tiger Woods's book at this week's Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Arizona.
As expected, the chase is on. And Charles Howell, Andrew Buckle, Jeff Quinney and the rest of the Buick Invitational field at Torrey Pines last week can confirm that Tiger Woods usually catches what he chases.
Two days after winning the biggest cheque of his career, American Paul Goydos was still grappling with the implications of his Sony Open victory in Hawaii.
Somehow, it figures that Paul Goydos, the everyman hard-luck Linus of the PGA Tour, finally wins a tournament for the first time in 11 years and he's not even the main headline.
