The Top Five Players NOT at Augusta This Week

  The Masters is by far the most prestigious major in golf and it is also the most difficult to qualify for. The pressure to receive the coveted Masters invitation builds up on Tour as the final countdown begins the few weeks leading up to the event.   This year the Masters has 96 players competing, large by Masters standards, but very small compared to the other three majors, which usually... 

“Seve” Ballesteros Beats Cancer, Plans British Open Appearance

The two-time Masters champion and three-time British Open title holder is planning to compete in the Champions Classic, the four-hole prelude to July‘s British Open Championship at St Andrews. The... 

Rafael Nadal’s Knee Problems a Thing of the Past?

Following the French Open last year, the tennis world was shocked to hear that Rafael Nadal would be away from competitive tennis for a period of over two months. A period that would see him unable to defend his hard-earned Wimbledon title and eventually losing his No. 1 ranking, which he had so deservedly attained. The culprit? Knee tendinitis. When he finally made the first of his long awaited returns...

The All-Motorsport Power Rankings: No. 57

As America retreated back to its dinner tables for the Easter weekend (save for the Truck and Nationwide series, whose teams obviously aren’t good enough to be given major national holidays off) it was racing in Europe that took centre stage, while being in Asia. F1 looked set for a repeat of last year’s Malaysian wash out (though Kimi was too busy to reprise his Choc Ice routine) with... 

The Masters Golf 2010: Could It Be the Most Memorable Ever?

Clearly, the Masters is one of the toughest tests of nerves that golfers endure. I can’t imagine how PGA tour players can keep their emotions in check while standing over a putt to win a regular tour event. Ratchet up the stakes at the majors and my nerves would go into system overload. If the level of nervous tension could be measured like a car’s tachometer, my reading would be past the... 

Tiger Woods Father Resurrected in New Commercial

Tiger Woods’ new commercial for Nike involves his father, Earl. The commercial will start airing today, and continue to run throughout the Masters. I understand Nike’s PR effort here, but it’s just bizarre, and in a sense creepy.  Filmed at Isleworth Country Club a few weeks back Tiger stares directly into the camera listening to his fathers voice, “I want to find out what... 

Is Tiger Woods the New Barry Bonds?

I just read an article about Jack Nicklaus’s presser at Augusta yesterday. According to the article, the press conference moderator tried to cut off questions three times only to have Jack tell his Augusta handler that he would continue to answer queries from reporters and fans. Afterwards, he rode around course on a cart and talked with adoring fans along the way. No handlers, no bodyguards.... 

Masters 2010: The Most Exciting Opening Pairings You Have To See

Golf is the only sport where the athletes don’t compete against one another, they compete against the course. The “best” course in golf is debatable, but the most magical course in the world of golf finds its home in Augusta, Ga. Augusta National GC, the home of the Masters for 75 years, contains as much history as it does beauty. From driving up Magnolia Lane, to the ancient clubhouse,... 

Tiger’s Love Affair with Fans Keeps Image Intact

He arrived on time to Augusta National, at the beautiful scene of the most admirable golf course on a sunny afternoon, ready to contend and attempt to win his fifth Masters and aim closer to Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major titles. A few days ago he addressed reporters when he walked into the interview room, where they sat in a tight atmosphere. It was a hectic scene as reporters were interrogated...
