Phil Mickelson is Moving Up the List of All-Time Greats

Despite being one of the most heartwarming stories golf has seen in quite some time, Phil Mickelson’s victory at the 2010 Masters was also very important in terms of validating his place in the game’s history. Although four may not seem like much more than three, when it comes to major championships victories, it’s an Everest sized leap. There are now only three players who have won...

The 2010 Masters: Tiger Woods’ Best Performance Ever?

Sorry, but this isn’t another late-breaking sexual confession by a Tiger Wood’s ex-paramour.  Those babes are played out. They’ve sold their last piece of fictitious trash to titillate the pathetically boring world of golf journalism. No, I’m talking about golf.  Surprise.  Surprise. No one seems to really know where Tiger Woods has actually been since last... 

At Augusta, A Story With a Happy Ending for All…Almost

This past weekend at Augusta, the PGA got everything it could have possibly wanted and more. The sporting public got everything it could want from the 2010 Masters Tournament…and more. Phil Mickelson, a man whose personal life has been wrought with mountainous obstacles in the form of nearly simultaneous diagnoses of breast cancer in both his wife and mother, gave us a magical ending that Walt... 

Tiger Woods: The Transformation Was Short-Lived

Last week at Augusta National Tiger Woods changed his stripes…well, at least for a few days. “When I do return [to golf], I need to make my behavior more respectful of the game,” Woods said during his February 19th speech at the PGA Tour Headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. “I’m actually going to try and obviously not get as hot when I play,” Woods said during...

Tiger Woods Is Clear for Takeoff

Will he be himself again? Will he get through these hard times? Will he get his family back in order? Will he get his sponsors back? How much hush money did he have to pay? When will he win again? These are the questions that surround Tiger Woods. However, no reporters will ask them. Instead they will ask him about his tee shot on the third, his bunker shot on the 11th, or how his foot feels. Why would... 

The Masters: Truly a Tradition Unlike Any Other

As I was driving my ice cream truck Sunday and unable to see the Masters until the 13th hole, I was pondering about writing a column recapping the Masters. At the time, I figured Tiger Woods was going to make some improbable run, and Phil Mickelson was going to be there in the end giving Woods all he could handle. I also thought KJ Choi would be the dark horse to sneak in and give Woods and Mickelson... 

Getting Defensive: A Look at The Probable U.S. Backline in South Africa

Last week, we took a look at the goalkeeper position for the U.S. ahead of the World Cup in South Africa this summer. This week, we move up the field and review the likely starters, bench players, and decisions Bob Bradley will have to make ahead of the World Cup. The first question is, how many defenders should he take, seven or eight? The conservative answer here (and Bradley is a conservative manager)...
