I wish I was riding a wager on Tim Clark last week. He was an astonishing 100:1, and guess what? He won the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass last week! What another terrific Sunday performance we had on display last week. Lee Westwood is now a concern to me. Can this guy ever FINISH an event? It always seems to be the major-like events that this guy comes out on fire, leads for three rounds, and...

Although the MRI results are not in yet on golf’s most famous neck, it appears as though once again, this sport will have to sustain itself without its most recognizable player. If Tiger Woods is indeed headed to the shelf again, can golf get a boost from some of its other players to keep it chugging along? It is no secret TV ratings drop like a seven-iron tossed into a pond when Tiger is not...

More than likely, any team that makes a run at the World Cup trophy will have a man between the posts that can bail them out of trouble at least once upon the way. It’s no different for the United States. The U.S. will probably need their net-minder to come up big on a couple of occasions. Fortunately for this team, they have just the man for the job. Tim Howard, the current starter in a long...

There’s something decidedly out of kilter with the final clay Masters of the year. Yes, it’s a harder and slightly faster court than almost anywhere else on the red stuff. And yes, the surface seems grittier and more slippery than the fine surface of a Monte Carlo or a Rome. The altitude, too, adds its own problems, with balls flying a little more, and the air just a fraction thinner...

The Super Eagle’s new manager Lars Lagerback named his first provisional 30-man squad for this summer’s World Cup in South Africa, in the capital, Abuja, on Monday. Lagerback retired from the managership of the Swedish national team after failing to lead “The Blue and Yellow” to a major championship for the first time in five tournaments. Lagerback took the reins of the Super...

And the hits just keep on coming. Let’s quickly recap what Tiger Woods has gone through over the past six months. 1) A car accident. 2) An embarrassing scandal. 3) A trip to rehab while his image suffered the largest fall from grace ever seen from any celebrity, let alone a squeaky clean corporate darling. 4) A robotic, scripted speech at the PGA Tour headquarters that must have been every bit...

Tiger Woods is certainly struggling so far in his first three “PGA Tour” events since returning from his “leave of absence”—going by his normal winning percentage, anyhow. Statistically, the next tournament Woods plays in should be a win, seeing that he usually wins at the astonishing pace of one out of 3.5 tries. With long-time swing coach Hank Haney parting ways with...

Tough to argue with success: 31 wins, six majors. It’s the Tiger resume WH—with Hank. Now, what happens AH—after Hank? Back when Mark O’Meara suggested that his buddy Tiger Woods might want to consider working with Haney, Haney was the perfect guy. He’s a quiet, non-controversial, low-key teacher of golf. Which leads us to his departure from the Tiger Woods “camp.” Perhaps,...

Ernie Els has two tour wins this season, and will be the favorite easily in this tournament, in my humble golfing opinion. South Africa is pretty hot, I would assume, having never been there. But hey, it is Africa, right? Els will play well in this hot humid type weather, as the late spring succumbs to the sweltering heat of the Texas summer. That seems like a good plan anyway, as I have selected him...

Fabio Capello has named Jamie Carragher in his provisional World Cup squad as announced by the FA this afternoon. The 32-year-old defender returns to the Three Lions squad after having retired from international football in 2007. The Liverpool defender is joined in the 30-man selection by Gareth Barry, despite concerns over the Manchester City midfielder’s fitness for the summer tournament after...
