Tiger Woods’ Withdrawal From The Players Leaves Opening for Phil Mickelson

  When Tiger Woods WD-ed from The Players the first thing that came to mind was the legendary writer Jim Murray’s old column from the 1991 LA Open. In it , Murray wrote an open letter to Fred Couples about how he wasn’t hostile and enough of a jerk on the golf course. Murray wrote: “Just remember, Weiskopf once got flu in the sandtrap on No. 2 at Riviera. I think he was lying... 

Joachim Low’s Fountain of Youth: Germany 2010 World Cup Roster Preview

German national team manager Joachim Low will be one of the many National squad managers losing sleep over a tiny piece of paper with a bunch of names on it leading up to June 11. Having already announced their 27-man provisional squad on May 6, Low now is faced with the task of making four more cuts en route to the final squad announcement before kick off in South Africa. Low has already put his... 

Mark Webber Wins a Dull Spanish Grand Prix

Well, Mark Webber stated before the race that all he wanted was a dull one, and he got it. Despite the fact that he drove his ass off, and that we got a few crashes here and there, (including a very unlucky last lap incident for Hamilton), the 2010 Spanish Grand Prix was one of the dullest races so far this season. We got our first retirement before the race even began, when Kovalainen was seen being... 

Get F-Duct! The New Must-Have Accessory In Formula One

Anyone who has been watching Formula One this year will have heard the term F-duct. This mysterious system—the brainchild of the McLaren engineers—caused a mountain of controversy going into the first race of the season at Bahrain. McLaren’s MP4-25 was noticeably faster in a straight line than its competitors and it was all thanks to a clever piece of aerodynamics known as the F-duct.... 

Hey Wait a Second? Why Is Roger Federer No Longer Winning?

Roger Federer isn’t enjoying himself as of late.  Can’t blame him.  It’s kind of hard to enjoy yourself when you are the world No. 1 and you are losing almost half the matches you are playing.  Federer is doing a good job of hiding his disappointment, however, deflecting questions from reporters and experts trying to pry into his game, all the while the smooth-talking... 

The Players Championship: Why No. 17 Has Lost Its Mystique

The Players is one of the most entertaining tournaments of the golf season—not only because it brings together most of the best players in golf, but because of the stunningly beautiful and difficult Stadium Course. The Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., is covered in trees, full of regular bunkers and pot bunkers that are as deep as black holes, and every hole on the course has water. Golf... 

Tiger Woods: One Major Thing He May Need To Do In Order To Move Forward

Tiger Woods surely doesn’t need my advice. He has plenty. He has reporters, sports writers, sports anchors, current players, ex-players, gossip show hosts, gossip reporters, talk show hosts, politicians, fans, non-fans, therapists, and anyone else that didn’t fall into one of the above categories telling him what to do and how to act. They tell him, among other things: Answer everyone’s... 

Phil Mickelson Needs Another Low Round

By his own admission, Phil Mickelson needs another low round on Sunday to win The Players—and oh, by the way, overtake Tiger Woods’ No. 1 spot in the World Rankings. Standing in his way are a gaggle of excellent golfers, including Lee Westwood who finished second at The Masters, won the Race to Dubai in 2009, and won the Order of Merit a decade ago in 2000. Westwood is on a comeback of... 

Loss Of Djokovic, Davydenko, and Del Potro Opens Up Madrid and The Tour

Ten of the top 25 men in tennis are out of the Madrid Masters, the last tournament before the French Open, and many of them are in doubt for that culminating Slam of the clay season. Has a Masters tournament ever been quite as torn open by injury? Has the top of the men’s tour leaked its seeds quite so early in the season, and on the most benign of surfaces? At No. 13, Fernando Gonzalez has... 

The Best 25 World Cup Goals Ever

Every four years, the world’s greatest sporting event rears its head and this summer, it is in the wonderful country of South Africa.
