Admission about drug use striking; so is Agassi's account of losing a French Open final because he feared losing his hair piece.

The question with Tiger becomes not whether he will ever catch Jack's record of 18 majors, but whether he will ever win again, period.

Tiger does not tweet a reason for pulling out of the U.S. Open, but he has been trying to comeback from a series of injuries.

Tiger Woods just tweeted that he will not play the U.S. Open. "Short term frustration for long term gain," he writes.

Thanks, appreciate that. Great adventure. Eastport Portage was not a highlight...

Lift bridge was down because of steelworkers protest. So no lakers coming thru when we did, fortunately. Swells would have flipped us.

Big handshake at end with Barry. Great leader in the canoe. We carried canoe up the beach thru the sea grass. Sun has come out.

Funny, I couldn't tweet for a long stretch there; Barry told me to paddle hard because of swells in lake. No place for a canoe. Awesome.
