Default Phil Ivey Gets 4th in World Series of Golf

Ivey got 4th and took home 40k. I like how Ivey skipped High Stakes Poker with a 500k buy in for the World Series of Golf for a first prize of 250k.

The World Series of Golf combined golf with poker, as players anted and made bets against each other.

I thought it was sort of interesting that Ivey got a merely perfunctory notice in the article.

I tend to forget just how little the non-poker world cares about poker celebrities.

Given the circumstances and his reputation for large golf bets, I can't imagine him not making a ton in side bets from this event, probably more than he would on HSP.
