Ranking the 17 best musical acts to ever perform at "Tiger Jam"
Tiger Woods will be in Las Vegas this weekend, but don't worry, it's for a good cause. The 14-time major champion will be hosting his "Tiger Jam" fundraiser event for the 17th time. That means two things: 1. Awkward photos of Woods wearing bad jeans with, um, interesting dress shirts; 2. A big-name musical act performing at the concert.
__ 10. Goo Goo Dolls__
I'm a sucker for 90s rock and I'm a bigger sucker for "Name."
__ 9. Third Eye Blind__
Again, 90s rock. (Finds "Semi-charmed Life" on iPod. Starts bopping head.)
__ 8. Train__
"Drops of Jupiter" is an all-time classic. Hey, Tiger got them to perform way before he moved to Jupiter, Fla. . . . freaky!
__ 7. Kid Rock__
Not a fan of his music, but he's a big get and a big golfer. Plus, he showed up with Pamela Anderson one year. Props.
Even more amazing is Wonder performed the same year as Counting Crows and Boyd Tinsley (FIDDLE!) from Dave Matthews Band. I'd like to think Tiger's tremendous 2005 season was inspired by this performance -- even if Adam Duritz dressed like a bum and wore a shirt of Tiger's college rival:
The biggest surprise? Despite Woods being a huge fan of Nickelback, the group has never performed at a Tiger Jam. Knock my ranking all you want, but I think we can all agree that's a good thing.
