Jeff,
While that was the very first thing I also wondered about, you and I, and possibly a few dozen others on this august discussion group, are in the minority with that one.
Thinking about it from the developers point of view, they are loathe to even admit that anybody else other than the "star" had any design input whatsoever. Jim Lipe, Chris Cochran and others are gifted designers for Jack Nicklaus, but its the nameplate that gets the attention. Greg Norman, Gary Player and Nick Faldo have done a wonderful job of hiring designers with the ability to carry out their visions for what are usually pretty good pieces of ground.
But it is interesting to see how the older and more established star firms are adjusting to the natural aging process, with Jack Jr. being brought to the fore more and more and with all new Palmer projects crediting the actual co-designer within that firm in anticipation of, well, life does have a beginning and an end.
But whoever Tiger Woods hires to carry out his vision I am sure that those individuals will be talented beyond reason because I think we all must admit that Tiger doesn't tolerate anything but the very best. And with what I am sure his market worth for such projects will be, it darn well should be the very, very best.....well whatever that is. Which brings up the subject of what will a Tiger Woods course look, play and feel like. I am sure that will be an ongoing topic for this group.
