Tiger's Troopers?
Thursday, April 10, 2008

I was lucky enough to see Tiger’s first fist pump of the tournament on 15, along with a crowd the size of your normal, everyday U2 concert. We then watched him par 16, and tee off of 17, first in his group, holding honors. Then without waiting for his group mates of Angel Cabrera or Stuart Appleby to hit their shots, we squeezed through the bottleneck between 17 and 8 en masse to get to the green.

We’re a polite and intense group, I just don’t know what to call us.

Everybody knows Arnie’s Army. But what do you call the troop that trudges after Tiger?

According to the dictionary, a group of tigers is a streak or an ambush. Streakers isn’t going to work. Too much scary visual potential there. Tiger’s Ambushers? A mite aggressive. How ’bout Woody’s Wing Command? The Tail of the Tiger, or Tiger’s Tailers. Which works well with the whole anthropomorphism thing, except the homonymity makes it sound like a bunch of guys following him with pins in their mouths holding tape measures to his inseam. Pretty sure that’s not the image he’s looking for.

Ian Poulter, maybe.

You guys got any suggestions? Someone help me out here. No prizes, but we’ll print the best answers. More tomorrow.
