The Rome Masters Part Three: The Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal Factor

In the laid-back, take-it-in-your-stride tournament that is the Rome Masters, there is no such thing as a site plan, nor signposting to courts, nor programmes with orders of play to guide the inexperienced. The trick is to arrive early and head for the two practice courts. Surely everything will become clear. As if preordained, Roger Federer chose this moment to sashay onto the closer of the two courts,... 

The Picture Every World Cup Fan Wants To See: Nelson Mandela Smiling

TPC at Sawgrass: Tournament Update and Fantasy Standings

Tiger Woods is only a birdie or two from already contending in the Players Championship at Sawgrass this next four days. J.P. Holmes leads the way at minus six in the first round of play. Good scoring seems to be happening for most players keeping the ball under control, hitting fairways, and making putts.   I would think the cut line might be about even par if the scoring continues as present,without... 

The Greatest Hole on Tour: 17th on TPC at Sawgrass

It’s only 132 yards long, but it is the scariest 132 yards a golfer will ever face in his career. The 17th hole in The Players Championship at Sawgrass is one of—if not the—most recognizable and most popular holes on the PGA Tour.  This hole can make or break a day for an amateur or a professional.

The All-Motorsport Power Rankings: No. 61

Nothing like a barbecue to start the British summer*! You’ll be pleased to know the driver – Mike Hezemans – got out before the Corvette had most of it’s rear end melted.

Meet Ernests Gulbis: The Next Big Thing in Tennis

The “late bloomer” is a bit of a tired cliché in sports. It’s a title that sports fans and pundits alike assign to lazy, injury-impaired, or generally underachieving athletes. Tennis is no exception, the sport has had its share of late blooming geniuses. Ivan Lendl, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, and others are the more notable examples of tennis phenoms who took a bit longer... 

Arrogant Johnny Miller Throws Tiger Woods’ Swing Coach Hank Haney Under the Bus

Johnny Miller has always thought so very highly of himself. Always has, not a secret. Arrogant? Absolutely. People don’t change often. He was that as a player and still is as an NBC announcer. Miller, who acts like he won 12 majors instead of the two he has, picked up Hank Haney, Tiger Woods’ faithful swing instructor, and threw him right under the bus Wednesday, ran him over, backed...

The Players Championship 2010 Sawgrass: TPC Power Rankings

1) Phil Mickelson A win at Augusta followed by a second place finish at the Quail Hollow Championship has moved Mickelson up to number one in the Power Rankings. Oh yeah, and if he wins this week and Tiger Woods finishes outside the top-five, Mickelson will be the new number one ranked player in the world…talk about incentive. 2) Jim Furyk This week’s Player’s Championship is a home... 

Forgotten Tiger: Has the Golf World Moved on From Woods’ Transgressions?

Just after Thanksgiving last year, the world became experts on Tiger Woods. You know the deal: hot blonde wife chases Tiger from his digs waving five iron, which eventually led to the very public realization that he had more women on the down-low than I have mustache fibers. And suddenly, the story could not be escaped. It was like “Brett Favre—Will He Play?” take two. Every PR broadcaster,...
