Matt Jones Is Your First Round Leader at The Valero Texas Open

The player pictured is not Matt Jones. Matt Jones had a bit better day at minus 6 than my A player in fantasy this week in Ernie Els. Ernie is not responding in the hot Texas air, and may need some oxygen before Friday is over at this rate. He did, however, post an even round of 72, but is already six shots back. For those not too familiar will Jones, he is from Sydney, New South Wales, Austrailia. He... 

Does Phil Mickelson Have Tiger Woods by the Tail?

Does Phil Mickelson have Tiger by the tail or has Tiger done what all animals try and do and has actually caught his own tail? Tiger has been an almost immortal force on a golf course for several years now.   But it seems the wheels have fallen off the wagon. One could argue that Phil is made because of how good Tiger has been. Competition breeds greatness and brings out the best in all... 

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid: Roger Federer Isn’t Planning To Go Anywhere

Rumors of Roger Federer’s demise in tennis have peppered the media since the early days of 2008. For that was when he failed to reach his first Grand Slam final in almost three years. It was the Australian Open, and he fell short—in the semifinals. He would go on to win just four games in the French Open final, would lose his Wimbledon crown, and would not win a Masters title throughout... 

How Phil Mickelson Tamed the Great Tiger

Phil Mickelson enjoyed a warm embrace with his cancer-survived wife Amy following his birdie on the 18th hole at Augusta National—and with that, the deal was done. The lengthy week culminated in Lefty’s emotional reaction to winning his third green jacket. For years, Tiger Woods towered over his opponents as the world’s No. 1 golfer, but this reign was soon to be broken. Phil Mickelson,... 

The Golf Blog: Blowing Where the Wind Takes Me

Click here to join The Golf Blog’s email list. I had the pleasure of playing two rounds of golf this past week.  One on Saturday, when the wind reached upward of 40 mph gusts, and again on Monday, when the temperature barely touched 58 degrees, without the 30 mph NWN winds.   I’m not complaining, because as my brother-in-law would say, “It beats working.”  But... 

The All-Motorsport Power Rankings: Week 62

Is that a beautiful picture? After four years of almost soul-destroying domination Jimmie Johnson has been turned mortal by the addition of a spoiler and is finally starting to have the same luck as everyone else. However, what the Gods of motorsport give with one hand they take away with the other, with Formula One in Barcelona. From the moment I switched on the TV to watch the race and was greeted... 

Why Golf will Continue To Thrive With or Without Tiger Woods

How can the PGA Tour continue to thrive without Tiger Woods in the mix? That’s simple. Just keep on producing golf tournaments like the ones we’ve witnessed over the past five weeks. One of the main reasons why golf fans are so fixated on Woods is because he consistently produces a level of excitement that far exceeds anything we’ve seen in recent years.     Woods always... 

Tiger Woods Flunks Chiropractic 101

Oh that crafty Tiger Woods. His chiropractic/diagnostic skills are about as good as his golf game these days. The man who left us with a self-diagnosed “bulging disc” in his neck last Sunday, the man who has become his own pain in the neck, has exactly that. Woods said on Wednesday that tests showed an inflamed neck joint that causes pain and makes it hard to turn his head. This latest... 

Tiger Woods Gets First Good News in Some Time

He hasn’t had much good news in awhile, that’s for sure, but maybe Tiger Woods got a small dose on Wednesday. The MRI he had done for his neck pain showed no major disc problems. On Tiger’s website it was called it, “Inflammation of a facet joint in the neck.” Woods will rehab with physical therapy, rest and anti-inflammatory medicine. “I...

Featured Columnist Andy Reistetter was on site in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida for THE PLAYERS Championship on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.   Well “little” Timmy Clark finally did it —he won a U.S. PGA TOUR event.   But he had to come out of the closet to do it.   The Players Championship, a major and the only one of its kind, will do quite nicely for his first...
