In a just-published Q&A with Golf Digest, Fred Couples recalls his bet with Tiger Woods at last year�s Target World Challenge.

�Last year, I bet him [at the Target World Challenge]. I took two shots from him the first day and said, �I'll play you for $200.�

�I think he shot 67 and I probably shot 74. So he said, �Just keep it. What do you want tomorrow?� I said, �Two shots.� He beat me again.

�The third day, he beat me again.

�The last day, he gave me four shots and said I'll give you a break-even bet. I was so nervous. He beat me. I gave his wife $800; he snatched it out of her hands so quickly. �That's my money.��
