Adapted Tavistock Cup plays on

The Tavistock Cup, the golf world’s yearly paean to excess, was slated to kick off Monday morning at ritzy Isleworth Golf Club with names like Tiger Woods, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose and others slated to appear. But those three and a few others have some work left to do Monday at their normal jobs, as this year’s Arnold Palmer Invitational will require a fifth competition day to make up for some nasty thunderstorms wiping out most of its fourth.

The annual two-day exhibition match was originally a grudge-match between residents of Isleworth and Lake Nona and has grown to include four-man teams from Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas, Oak Tree National in Oklahoma, Primland Resort in the mountains of Virginia and Queenwood Golf Club outside of London.

This year’s intended format was to include a best-ball day Monday with two scores per team counting toward the competition score, followed by singles stroke play on Tuesday.

As it turns out, the golf world is treated to some Monday PGA Tour golf, which teed off on the Golf Channel at 10 a.m. Will Tiger capture his eighth Bay Hill victory? Probably. But what about his teammates from Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas?

The available member — Tim Clark — of Team Albany will be able to relax even more on Monday than he would have, as Monday’s Tavistock Cup play will be purely informal. The only “official” day for the match will now be Tuesday, which will be a sprint: Each team will count all four 18-hole scores and the lowest score will take the title. Who will it be?

Team Isleworth

Brian Davis
D.A. Points
Bo Van Pelt
Bubba Watson

The home team of Isleworthiness consists of one of Isleworth’s newest residents, Bubba Watson. The reigning Masters champion just bought Tiger Woods’ old house on the property. Perhaps some of that mojo will help him and his mates.

Team Lake Nona

Ross Fisher
Peter Hanson
Graeme McDowell
Henrik Stenson

The Nonites will have a good amount of experience playing Isleworth as well, as they have no problem scaring up invites to cross-town money games there. An all-European team, perhaps some stellar play could get them a little extra consideration from Euro captain Paul McGinley when the 2014 Ryder Cup rolls around.

Team Albany

Tim Clark
Ian Poulter
Justin Rose
Tiger Woods

The Albanites are the unquestioned favorites in this competition. Poulter is a match play master and even though this will be a stroke play event, he is in good form and the compressed time frame will be beneficial to him. Rose and Woods will be duking it out on Monday at Bay Hill for the big bucks and Woods used to live at Cup host Isleworth.

Team Oak Tree National

Rickie Fowler
Charles Howell III
Bob Tway
Scott Verplank

We might as well call this one Team Cowpoke, as all four Oak Tree Natives played their college golf at Oklahoma State. Will they be depressed by their favorite college basketball team’s premature exit from the NCAA men’s basketball tournament? Not likely.

Team Primland

Fred Couples
Bill Haas
Jay Haas
Webb Simpson

The Primlanders include the reigning U.S. Open Champion and a recent FedEx Cup Champion in addition to two Champions Tour players who can still play with the younger set on a given day. This squad could surprise.

Team Queenwood

Martin Laird
Tom Lewis
Paul McGinley
Adam Scott

The first two Queenwoodsmen have the opportunity to impress the third, 2014 European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley with some stellar play at Isleworth. The fourth, Adam Scott, is the most accomplished member of the team. Potential darkhorse here.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
