Ernie Els, a Contender at the 2010 Masters? Not So Fast

Ernie Els won last week’s WGC-CA Championship in convincing fashion; there’s no question about that. Even he who shall not be named would have had a difficult time carding anything better than Els’ final round 66 in blustery conditions at Doral. Being that very few players win more than one event per year these days, it now appears that a single win immediately prompts talk of major... 

Tiger Woods: Return at the Masters is the Right Thing

Author’s Note: This article was written Monday night, hours before Tiger made it known that he would in fact make the Masters his first event of the season. The piece is an argument as to why he MAY choose to do so, and not an explanation as to why he DID. Thank you for reading. Ever since Tiger Woods announced his indefinite leave from golf on Dece. 11, the single biggest question hanging over... 

Is 2010 F1’s Epitaph or Its Wake-Up Call?

This past weekend, the public tuned in to the long awaited first race of the 2010 F1 season. Throughout the preseason, writers of F1 Racing magazine, reporters on Autosport website, and so many other F1 dedicated media sources, presented the 2010 season as the biggest one in decades.

Fernando Alonso Begins F1 Racing Season with a Victory in Bahrain

A procession from start to finish! This was precisely how a discerning Formula 1 fan would describe Sunday’s season opener at Bahrain. FIA may have been working towards cutting costs and improving the show, but on track, things seem to work otherwise. Aside from an engine incident that forced Sebastian Vettel to drop to fourth, allowing the Ferraris of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa to... 

Charl Schwartzel’s Early Performances a Prelude to Things To Come?

Charl Schwartzel never could have imagined in his wildest dreams that he would be in the final pairing with his boyhood idol, Ernie Els, at Doral with a chance to win his first PGA tour event. But that is exactly where he found himself this past Sunday in South Florida. Schwartzel, a native of South Africa, as is Els, was two years old when his father and Ernie Els won a club tournament together. He... 

Women’s Tennis Power Rankings: Williams Sisters Still On Top

The Williams sisters are absent from the so-called “Premier Mandatory” event at Indian Wells as usual. (Not sure why? check out JA Allen’s recent article here.) However, their absence did not prevent them from retaining the top two spots in our biweekly power rankings, though they are sure to lose their grip after the BNP Paribas Open concludes.   The Top Ten 1. Venus Williams... 

David Beckham’s Injury: What It Means for England’s World Cup Squad

With David Beckham’s dream of becoming the first Englishman to appear in four World Cup Finals now all but over, thoughts begin to turn to the impact it will have on Fabio Capello’s final squad selection.   The Italian will name his provisional World Cup squad on May 16 before announcing his final 23-man selection on June 1.   Beckham has won 115 caps since making his debut in... 

Donald Young’s Broken Promise: What Happened to the Former Phenom?

Trust me when I say that I am as surprised as everyone else that I haven’t seen Donald Young’s name in the draws of many major ATP tournaments. Young played phenomenally in the juniors, demonstrating talent that some said was akin to that of Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi. He has, however, also done a 180-degree turn in the pros with a career characterized by marginal success and overwhelming...
