Tiger Woods has razzle-dazzled us with his golfing abilities as he competed in 253 tournaments in a little over 13 years on tour. Winning 71 of them, including 14 majors, he has earned the distinction of perhaps the best player to ever play the game sans Jack Nicklaus. Many would argue the most important title of the best “golfer” of all time; not simply the best “player”...

Looks like Tiger isn’t the only one getting “leied” these days. Heck, Geoff Ogilvy got “leied” last year at the beautiful Plantation Course in Maui last year. See picture above for proof! This year shall prove to be an interesting one for golf to say the least. No one knows for sure how the drama surrounding the Woods family is going to officially play out, yet everyone...

Brisbane International On a gorgeous day in Brisbane where each of the top four seeds in the men’s tournament secured their passage to the quarter finals, the talk of the town was the very real prospect of Justine Henin meeting Kim Clijsters. 27-year-old Henin, a former seven-time Grand Slam winner, defeated Russian-born Kazakhstani Sesil Karatantcheva 6-4, 6-3 to advance to the last eight of...

Professional golfers sure do have it made, don’t they? Free equipment, free golf, big paychecks, traveling all over the world, chasing after a little white ball and getting to play THE best courses in the world for free. Oh and get paid to do it. Nice gig huh? Well, there is another side to professional golf. One that many stories originate from but are seldom told. Tales that have less glamour...

Tiger Woods typically begins his season on Jan. 28 at the San Diego Open (formerly known as the Buick Invitational before Buick clunked out last year). So, it’s no surprise that despite the 2010 PGA Tour season kicking off this week in Kapalua, Hawaii, national television networks won’t even begin covering the PGA Tour until the San Diego Open in late January. What does this tell us? Well,...

As we prepare for the first Grand Slam of the year, here is the first in a reprise of an idea introduced in 2009, taking a look back at some of the matches that made the headlines at the Australian Open. It was a David and Goliath final. It put a man who had already topped the world rankings for more than 100 weeks against a man who had only broken into the top 100 in the last year. It pitched...

Geoff Ogilvy will defend his title at the SBS Championship played on the Kapalua Resort Plantation Course. Scores will be fairly low unless the wind picks up. These first couple of weeks bring the easier courses to start these great players off for the season. Usually the greens are pretty nice at these events in Hawaii and not to fast, which leads to plenty of putts dropping. My first team of players...

Top seed Kim Clijsters made light work of second-round opponent Alicia Molik at the Brisbane International on Tuesday as she advanced to the quarter finals with a comfortable 6-0, 6-3 victory. The Australian wildcard entrant—making a comeback to the WTA tour herself—provided little resolve against world No. 18 Clijsters, as the Belgian sped through the first eight games of the contest to...

Nadal was picture perfect in dismissing talented Italian Simone Bolelli 6-3, 6-3, recording his first official match victory of the season. Suffering four consecutive losses at the end of last year, Nadal regained his form in the Davis Cup final—winning...
