“Tiger wants to be here,” said McLaughlin from his office at Congressional Country Club. “He was thrilled with the way everything turned out last year and he wants the momentum to continue. He’ll be here if at all possible.”
Woods’ presence likely depends on when Woods undergoes surgery to replace his ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. McLaughlin refused to speculate on whether Woods would consider delaying surgery in order to host the tournament, which runs July 3-6.
Woods posted a message on the tournament Web site Thursday. It read: “Thank you for the outpouring of support for the AT&T National. This event means a lot to me, and I know my fellow PGA Tour pros and the 30,000 members of our military who attend are going to really appreciate your continued support. I’m still working out the details of my schedule and hope to have an update for you soon.”
Despite Woods’ injury, McLaughlin, also President of the Tiger Woods Foundation, sounded upbeat as he talked about this year’s tournament.
“We know this is a pretty strong golf community,” said McLaughlin. “We think they’ll come out and support the event.”

Does anyone know anything about Kevin Dunleavy? If he's from Texas and about 29 then I think I was friends with him in high school (Klein). If anyone would know how to get in touch with him, that would be great. I tried calling but the lady I talked to didn't know anything about him. bronwen.iuen@gmail.com

Mr.Dunleavy-A Baltimore boy, Church Waesche, won the 16-17 division of the Gorin on his 16th birthday and was the runner up in the Bobby Bowers last week. Any reason you continue to focus on the Washington region golfers instead of the Baltimore boys?

Michelle should just be Michelle. A pro golfer and a college student. Break away from parental, sponsor, present managment domination and what the LPGA wants. Find her groove make her own decisions and RELAX! At 17 going on to 18 you are considered a young adult. It's time to break away from the nest and feel the air flutter her wings.
