TIX FOR DUVAL-WOODS A BIT EXPENSIVE FOR "CHEAPENED" RIVALRY

          Ticket prices for the David Duval-Tiger Woods made-for-
     TV event set for August 2 "are expensive on the low end and
     out of sight on the high end," according to Greg Wilcox of
     the L.A. DAILY NEWS.  Sherwood Country Club, in conjunction
     with Tickets.com, is "offering 50 special auction packages"
     to the event, with bidding to start at $1,400 for 46 of them
     and $2,000 for the remaining four.  The 200 clubhouse passes
     will each cost $550, and the 1,500 general tickets cost $225
     each.  Wilcox writes that IMG execs could not be reached for
     comment on the ticket prices (L.A. DAILY NEWS, 6/10).
          NOT BIG FANS OF EVENT: PGA Tour player Bob Gilder said
     that the Duval-Woods event is "a Don King type of promotion
     and doesn't really mean anything."  Gilder: "Now if David
     and Tiger would put up their own money and play for it, then
     you might have something."  PGA Tour player Peter Jacobsen:
     "It is a World Wrestling Federation type of event, driven by
     the money" (Bob Robinson, Portland OREGONIAN, 6/9).
