I thought it was because the greens were cut so short and Tiger crapping on them.

there are two different types of grass on the greens. One kind is Poa (dont know if it is spelled that way).

They grow at different speeds, and by late in the afternoon make for a bumpy green.

My Dad played Spyglass (the course next to Pebble & they have the same type of greens). Said Spyglass easily has the worst greens he's ever played on for a "big time" course.

That course is so heavily played I don't see how they could have championship caliber greens. Add in winds off the ocean and it all dries out quickly.
