Johnny Miller writes in Golf Digest how he would spice up the Silly Season to make it more interesting to fans. As usual, his ideas are good.
Pair John Daly with Laura Davies in a mixed team event. A senior-junior event with teams made up of Champions Tour and PGA Tour players.
He also says make these events anything but individual stroke play.
Good ideas, Johnny. Here are some others. The Skins Game is getting old.
Pair up calendar girls in a “bikini match:” Natalie Gulbis and Sophia Sandolo.
Beer-drinking, cigarette-smoking, fat guys tournament: Daly, Craig and Kevin Stadler. You don’t tee off til you’ve downed at least a six-pack.
All-Jerk Classic: Rory Sabbatini, Tom Weiskopf, Vijay Singh, David Duval and Colin Montgomerie fight it out for the prize. The gallery is not allowed to cheer, only boo.
Ten million Dollar Charity Classic. PGA Tour pros MUST turn over ALL their winnings to charity. See how many show up. Hint: None.
Best and Worst: The top two players in the world, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, are paired against each other. Woods gets the worst golfer in the world and Mickelson gets the second-worst. Remember when Golf Digest chose the worst golfer in the world? There had to be a runner-up.

Hint: He's a jerk.
Of course, part of that can be blamed for his collapse in recent years, but not al of it.
What is "stroppy" anyway?
obstreperous. Bit like Duval then.
