‘I don’t know if that was official or not’: How Tiger Woods spilled the beans on Webb Simpson being a Presidents Cup assistant captain

Simpson told Woods he had to call him back because he had to order his hot dogs.

It’s not every day Webb Simpson looks down at his phone to see a call from Tiger Woods.

But that’s what happened last Tuesday at Trolley Stop, a local hot dog joint in Wilmington, North Carolina, while Simpson was out with his family. When Simpson was trying to order, his phone rang.

“My kids had already made the owner mad because they continued to open the door, so I’m stressing, it’s my turn to order, my phone rings, I looked down and it’s Tiger,” Simpson said. “I told Tiger I had to call him back, I got to order my hot dogs. So order my hot dogs, get out of there, call him back and yeah, he just kind of referenced me being from — you know, living in Charlotte, Quail Hollow’s my home, that he thought it would bring a lot to the team.”

Woods was referencing the Presidents Cup, which is set for next month at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina. Quail Hollow is Simpson’s home course, so the Presidents Cup has been on his mind for some time.

Yet Tiger’s call came at a time when rumors were swirling on whether Simpson may be selected as an assistant captain.

“(The call) meant a lot, but honestly, I got done with the phone call and I’m like, ‘I don’t know if that was official or not,'” Simpson said. “I don’t know if he meant like he’s rooting for me to be assistant or if I am assistant. So I just waited, and I saw Zach (Johnson) on Wednesday, or I guess yeah, the next day in Detroit and Zach and I had a laugh about it. I said, Davis (Love III) still hasn’t called me, so I don’t know. And then Davis gave me a shout I guess maybe the next night.”

On Tuesday, Love, the U.S. Captain for the Presidents Cup, announced Simpson and Steve Stricker, the 2021 U.S. Ryder Cup captain, would serve as assistant captains at Quail Hollow. Johnson and Fred Couples are the other two assistants.

On Thursday and Friday, Simpson will be grouped with Love and Kevin Kisner for the first 36 holes at the Wyndham Championship. Kisner is the defending champion.

For Simpson, who has played in three Presidents Cups (2011, 2013 and 2019), the selection is special.

“Not that I feared not being a part of it, but there was a part of me that’s like, ‘If I don’t make the team and Davis goes a different direction, that’s fine, but it’s going to be hard to see the Presidents Cup happen there and not be a part of it in some way,'” Simpson said. “So I was really, really relieved to get a chance to be a part of it.”

Simpson is in the field at this week’s Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. He has five straight top-10 finishes there.

He acknowledges there’s still time to qualify as a player, but being selected in this role is something he has dreamed about.

“I’d give anything to be a part of it because as Jim Furyk told me in 2011 in Melbourne, when you’re done with your golf career, you’re going to really look back and remember your wins and your team events,” Simpson said.

“That’s a big dream and goal of mine. There’s still quite a few things I want to accomplish as a player, but just seeing these captains in the last few years take that role, and you can tell it means so much to them to represent the players, our country. So I definitely want to do that.”

Quail Hollow member Webb Simpson and Steve Stricker named captain’s assistants for 2022 Presidents Cup

The Presidents Cup is scheduled for September 20-25 at Quail Hollow Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In April, Captain Davis Love III named Zach Johnson and Fred Couples as two of his four assistants for the 2022 Presidents Cup. He’s now filled the two remaining spots.

Webb Simpson, a member of Quail Hollow Club, and Steve Stricker, the 2021 Ryder Cup winning captain, will both serve as assistant captains to Love at the matches scheduled for Sept. 20-25 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“I am thrilled to join Davis, Fred, Zach and Webb at Quail Hollow this September, and look forward to helping the U.S. Team as much as possible in an effort to retain the Cup,” Stricker said in a release. “With the current standings, many of the players on my team at Whistling Straits will be competing in Charlotte, and I know we’re all excited to watch these rising stars continue to perform on a global stage.”

Stricker served as Presidents Cup captain in 2017 at Liberty National where the United States won 19-11.

“I’m excited to see the Presidents Cup contested on my home course in a great sports town like Charlotte, and I know the fans are going to show up with tremendous support for the U.S. Team,” said Simpson. “I’ve had the good fortune of playing for Davis in past international events and he will have this team prepared to play each day. It’s an honor to be named a captain’s assistant, and I look forward to helping the guys with a bit of course knowledge and a fun, enjoyable team atmosphere.”

Simpson, who will be an assistant for the first time, has represented the United States in three Presidents Cups (2011, 2013 and 2019).

As of August 2, the six automatic qualifiers for the U.S. team are Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Sam Burns, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas and Tony Finau.

Jordan Spieth, Bryson DeChambeau, Zach Johnson all made a name for themselves at John Deere Classic. How one tournament director wooed top young talent to America’s Heartland

“You try to do your homework and identify guys in this case that were going to be successful as athletes.”

The corn fields adjacent to John Deere headquarters in Silvis, Illinois, typically are knee-high by the 4th of July. That’s how Webb Simpson remembers them as he returns to this northwestern corner of the Land of Lincoln for the first time in a dozen years to play at TPC Deere Run in the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic, which is celebrating its 50th edition.

Simpson, winner of the 2012 U.S. Open among his seven Tour titles, is back in America’s Heartland to pay a debt of gratitude to longtime tournament director Clair Peterson, who is retiring this year, and gave him a sponsor’s exemption in 2008.

“I was elated because there’s so many uncertainties when you turn pro as a young player,” said Simpson, who graduate from Wake Forest that summer. “You don’t know which tour you’re going to be playing on, if any tour.”

The John Deere Classic grew in meaning to Simpson when he returned to the Quad Cities to compete a year later as a rookie and proposed to his wife, Dowd, the mother of his five children, the night before the final round.

“She knew the question was coming in the next few months, so I thought I’m going to get her when she least expects it,” he said. “Decided right by the river’s a beautiful area, I can take her to dinner, I can surprise her.”

Simpson’s caddie secured the ring and he dropped to one knee on a dock along the Mississippi River, which divides Bettencourt and Davenport, Iowa, and Moline and Rock Island, Illinois.

“I was more nervous about dropping it than her saying yes,” said Simpson, who claimed to be 99 percent sure she would say yes.

Fast forward to March at the Valspar Championship and Simpson told Peterson to count him in for his farewell tournament. With the pre-tournament withdrawal of Daniel Berger due to injury, Simpson, at No. 58 in the Official World Golf Ranking, represents the highest-ranked player in the field, but he downplayed any talk that he should be the favorite.

“A hundred guys could win this week,” Simpson said. “Just because the field isn’t as strong as other weeks it’s still going to take a really low number(to win).”

With the tournament going up against the second event of LIV Golf, the upstart league that has wooed the likes of Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and former JDC champion Bryson DeChambeau, and scheduled between the U.S. Open and British Open, Peterson knew his event would be a tough draw.

“How many major winners do you have here compared to John Deere? It’s not even close,” said Pat Perez, a defector to the renegade LIV Golf. “The Tour wants to keep talking about strength of field and all that kind of stuff, the strength of field is here.”

To make matters worse for Peterson and the John Deere, several of the biggest stars in the game are heading next week to the Genesis Scottish Open, an event co-sanctioned between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour for the first time, which certainly had a detrimental effect, too. But none of this is new for an event that has rolled with the punches.

“I like to say we hit for the cycle,” Peterson said. “We’ve been opposite the British Open, we’ve been opposite the Olympics, we’ve been opposite the Ryder Cup and we’ve been opposite the Presidents Cup. So, our history is not always to have the top-10 players in the world here.”

What Peterson has excelled at is finding the stars of tomorrow and offering them sponsor exemptions into the field.

“I’ve kind of compared it, I guess, to an IPO, where there’s an initial public offering of this new product and there’s no promise that there’s going to be success,” Peterson said, “but you try to do your homework and identify guys in this case that were going to be successful as athletes, but quite honestly we also were really focused on young men that we liked and respected and had a lot of regard for.”

Among those who benefited from a JDC invite include defending champion Lucas Glover, Jon Rahm and DeChambeau, who all later won U.S. Opens; past champ Jordan Spieth (three majors in all), Zach Johnson (two majors) and Patrick Reed, who all won green jackets; Justin Thomas, who just won his second PGA Championship, and Jason Day, who also won the Wanamaker, and is in the field this week.

“We gave him a spot as a 17-year old. He made his first check here,” Peterson said of Day, who returned five times. “Then he becomes No. 1 in the world. And it’s tough, once you’re getting into all the majors and the World Golf Championships, you can play all over the world, it’s tough to build a schedule and include our event…But here he is this year to come back and recognize that we gave him a spot, it’s exciting to have him here and that’s the value of the relationships, I think. There’s no expiration date on ’em.”

Peterson pointed out that for all his success with sponsor invites, his record isn’t perfect.

“I’m going to give you a true confession right now, because people have said, ‘Oh, wow, you know, you do a great job picking exemptions.’ I said no to Scottie Scheffler, OK? So don’t give me too much credit. That’s one that really kind of was a whiff. But I think he’s going to do OK.”

This year the list of those Peterson awarded golden tickets to includes Chris Gotterup, the Haskins Award winner as men’s college golfer of the year, Quinn Riley, a Black golfer who played at Duke, and Patrick Flavin, an Illinois native who grew up attending the tournament.

“It’s a dream come true,” Flavin said. “The John Deere Classic to me was always a major. It was a really big deal. Watching guys like Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker win, guys from the Midwest who aren’t overpowering people and I’m kind of a small guy, it was really inspiring to me.”

So is the local support for the tournament and the charity dollars it has raised – $145 million.

“To me that’s a success,” Peterson said. “You can’t judge the success of the tournament just by the strength of the field.”

Phil Mickelson, Viktor Hovland, Cameron Smith among the prominent players to miss the cut at 2022 U.S. Open

A normally talented lot fell victim to a quirky that layout that is proving to have stood the test of time.

Any missed cut is a reason to pout, to question one’s game, to lose sleep and overreact to a bad week, but it hurts a little more – dare we say a lot more – to clean out the locker in the clubhouse during the week of a major championship.

At the 122nd U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, several prominent golfers were sent packing. Only the top 60 and ties survived to play the weekend. The U.S. Open always has been known to be the fullest examination of a golfer’s game. It will expose any weakness, any uncertainty, any fragile nerves. In short, there’s nowhere for a player to hide.

While several unheralded players have stepped forward and surged into contention at TCC, a normally talented lot have fallen victim to a quirky that layout that is proving to have stood the test of time.

Here’s more on some of the players who failed to make the cut, which came in at 3 over.

Patrick Reed, Webb Simpson highlight list of PGA Tour players and majors champs to miss the cut at 2022 Wells Fargo Championship

Plenty of big names just couldn’t handle the elements at TPC Potomac.

A rainy day on Friday at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm made for tough scoring conditions and some big names didn’t have the right stuff.

Few struggled as mightily as Patrick Reed, the former Masters champion, who shot 79, his worst single-round score since March 2020.

He wasn’t the only former major champion hitting the road on Friday. Among the cut casualties, who failed to shoot even-par 140 or better for 36 holes, were three former U.S. Open champion and a pair of British Open winners.

Also heading home: Masters champ Charl Schwartzel and PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner.

While the commute is longer, Webb Simpson concerned with a different road heading into the Wells Fargo Championship

Simpson’s commute is 20 minutes this year compared to the normal two.

Webb Simpson’s commute to the Wells Fargo Championship this week is a bit longer than in past years.

Ten times longer, to be more specific.

To start with, he’s in a different city, as the tournament was relocated to TPC Potomac at Avenal Farm north of Washington, D.C., to accommodate preparations for this year’s Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

And Simpson doesn’t live near the seventh tee of TPC Potomac as he does at Quail Hollow, where during tournament weeks he’d roll out of bed, spend time with his large family and then head to the course.

“It was 20 minutes this morning versus two,” Simpson said Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s start of the Wells Fargo Championship. He could have added that he’s driving the heavily congested streets and highways of the D.C. area instead of the quiet back streets surrounding Quail Hollow, where he made 11 starts in the Wells Fargo with a tie for second in 2015 and a fourth in 2012 his best finishes.

With a smile on his face, you get the feeling Simpson will adapt just fine. Especially since there’s another road he’s more concerned with – the route getting him back to being Webb Simpson again.

The 2012 U.S. Open and 2018 Players champion who counts seven PGA Tour titles in all hasn’t won since the RBC Heritage in June 2020. Since then, he’s dealt with COVID and neck injuries and has fallen to No. 44 in the world golf rankings, his lowest mark since 2017. He’s made 39 starts and landed in the top 10 nine times. In his last six starts, his best finish has been a tie for 35th in the Masters.

“I went 10, 11 years with no injuries at all and I hurt my neck back in February, I hurt my neck the year before at the Wells Fargo, so it’s been a bit up and down,” Simpson said. “I feel like Paul (Tesori, his caddie) and I, when we get out here we’re kind of playing catch‑up both in the FedExCup and working on my golf swing. So has not been the year I wanted so far, but that’s why I love this sport and this tour, because they’ve got a lot of golf left.

“I’m fully healthy. The MRI showed pretty good sized herniation between C‑5 and C‑6, but they also thought with the proper kind of therapy that I’ve been doing the last three months – I’m getting kind of tired of it but it’s working, so I’ll keep doing it – they think I can play the rest of my career without hurting my neck again, but I’ve got to take really good care of it.

“I’m behind the 8-ball in the FedExCup. So I’m feeling this push to want to play as much as I can, but also got to remember my best golf typically comes when I’ve had plenty of rest as well. So I’m walking that fine line of I have to play to improve my FedEx number, but I don’t want to burn myself out come right before the playoffs.”

Despite being about 450 miles from home, he feels comfortable in the different surroundings and likes the golf course. And not much has changed when he gets inside the ropes – he still has to familiarize himself with the course.

“It’s funny, Quail’s my home club, but in the tournament, it plays a lot different than most of the year. People have often thought like I should always be one of the favorites there because it’s my home club, and I know it a little bit better than other guys, but I’m hitting it in spots in the tournament that I never hit it all year round,” he said. “So I feel like I’m learning Quail Hollow every year like the other guys are. (TPC Potomac’s) got a lot of the same feels as being in Charlotte. I did notice on the first and 10th tees they have the same tees as Quail, so maybe they borrowed like thousands of tees from the Quail shop.

“It’s good to be here. I’ve missed it being at Quail this year, it’s always nice to see everybody getting ready, but this will be a good test for us.”

‘At least there’s no rain’: Masters weekend to severely test players in battle against wicked cold, high winds and toughened course

The forecast calls for a mixture of winds, frosty temperatures, and a slight chance of a shower.

[mm-video type=video id=01g053w3nyvgnzarb40w playlist_id=01es6rjnsp3c84zkm6 player_id=01evcfxp4q8949fs1e image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01g053w3nyvgnzarb40w/01g053w3nyvgnzarb40w-9bb5a2ce7f110dba9fad54de00620d2c.jpg]

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Don’t let the sunshine fool you.

While there will be plenty of rays to soak in, Mother Nature will be downright mean this weekend at the 86th Masters, with those playing inside the gallery ropes suffering the most.

The forecast calls for a mixture of high-octane winds that will whistle through the Georgia Pines, frosty temperatures that will demand extra layers and perhaps ski caps, and a slight chance of a shower or two for rounds three and four.

Not exactly ideal.

But the natural elements aren’t the only obstacle the players will tangle with. The beauty of Augusta National will become a beast as the course will continue to firm up, the greens will continue to harden. And with that, players won’t be thinking birdie as much as they will thinking pars, and they will need to know where to miss to give them the best possible chance to not drop a shot.

The golf ball won’t fly as far either, so players will be trying to hit their numbers with clubs they usually don’t use to hit those numbers. Expect a lot of three-quarter swings, punch shots and an assortment of fades and draws to find the proper trajectory and distance.

The small quadrants that need to be hit to have a makeable birdie putt instead of a 40-foot chip will be tougher to find. Well-struck tee shots will roll into the pine straw or the pearly white bunkers. The five-footers with two feet of break will become harsher if affected by gusts.

All in all, the biting temps and intense wind will combine with an already exacting test to cut into concentration, fade focus and cause a lot of back-and-forth between player and caddie. In other words, it will be two days full of numerous headaches.

“At least there’s no rain,” Webb Simpson said. “But it’s going to be a challenge.”

It will start on Moving Day – where every player will be moving to stay warm. The high is not expected to reach the 60s on Saturday, and with steady winds in the 15 mph range and gusts reaching 30 mph, expect announcers to often summon three words – wind chill factor. CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz might even say, “Stay warm, friends.”

Sunday, the low is expected to fall to 36 and a frost delay is possible. Warmer temperatures (it will reach the 70s) and plenty of sunshine will settle in shortly before noon – a couple hours before the leaders tee off and start dealing with the sweltering intensity of Sunday Masters pressure.

Players who made the cut this year got a taste of what’s to come. In Friday’s second round they were bruised by high winds. The field average was above 74.

“I shot 74. I feel like I shot 86,” 2017 Masters champion Sergio Garcia said. “I don’t know. It just felt like I just came out of 10 rounds with Canelo (Alvarez). So, it was hard. It’s difficult for me to get it going here other than one year.”

Four-time major-champion Rory McIlroy, a green jacket shy of the career Grand Slam, said wind – and chilly temps – play mind games with the players.

“It’s hard to commit to a number and say, OK, it’s 170. It’s really playing 200 or whatever it is and just committing to it because the wind’s so much up and down,” McIlroy said. “So just trying to take the ball out of the air as much as possible. But the greens are getting firm as well, so then it makes it hard to stop it on the green.

“So it’s a tough challenge. Being OK with hitting to 30 feet and taking two putts and making pars, that’s sort of the name of the game out there today.”

It sure looks like that will be the game the next two days. If so, there will be far fewer roars humming through the pines – a welcomed staple at the Masters. With the greens on the unyielding side, players will think twice about going for the green in two on the back-nine par-5s, with danger lurking in front and behind the putting surface at 13 in the form of Rae’s Creek and deep bunkers, and at 15 with ponds guarding both the front and back of the putting surface.

There are plenty of slopes for players to use to get the golf ball close to the hole, but again, if you miss your target, in some cases by only a foot, you could be looking at an impossible chip instead of a sensible birdie putt.

But there is hope. The strongest of the winds dissipated late in the second round, allowing the remaining players on the course to have more of a fighting chance. The fire of the approaching front and all its frigid, windy features could fizzle. The players aren’t expecting that, however, but along with the patrons, they are sure hoping for it. A warm Masters weekend, after all, one that would lead to birdies and eagles and create noise, would be much better than one where the sound is muzzled by ears muffs.

Here’s to fingers crossed.

Phil Mickelson leads list of top-10 money winners at WM Phoenix Open

Phil Mickelson has made 30 appearances in the WM Phoenix Open over the years.

Phil Mickelson has made 30 appearances in the WM Phoenix Open over the years. His total of three victories is tied for the most in the event’s history.

Lefty, who hasn’t played TPC Scottsdale since 2019, holds numerous other tournament records, including low back-9 (29 in 2013), low 18 (he shot 60 on two occasions), low first-36 (2013), low 54 (again, 2013), low 72 (his four-day total of 256 in 2013 ties the week Mark Calcavecchia had in 2001) and most strokes under par (again, 2013, when Mickelson tied Calc’s 28 under).

Mickelson also holds the mark for most money earned in the event.

Just missing the top 10: Hunter Mahan, Chris DiMarco, Mark Calcavecchia, Kevin Na and Rocco Mediate.

Check out a closer look at the top 10 all-time money winners at TPC Scottsdale, which first hosted the tournament in 1987.

This list is updated through the 2022 WM Phoenix Open.

Past champion Webb Simpson, Harris English withdraw from WM Phoenix Open

Webb Simpson won the WM Phoenix Open in 2020.

Webb Simpson has withdrawn from the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. He’s a past champion of the event, winning two years ago in 2020.

The Players champion’s last start on the PGA Tour came at the Sony Open where he tied for 61st.

Replacing him in the field is Hayden Buckley, who made the cut at last week’s AT& Pebble Beach Pro-Am, ending the week T-49.

Earlier Wednesday, U.S. Ryder Cupper Harris English also withdrew from the WMPO field and was replaced by Cameron Young.

As it stands right now, Simpson will be teeing it up at Riviera next week for the Genesis Invitational. His last appearance there came in 2017 where he tied for 39th.
