What the Rome Masters Means For…

Rafael Nadal: In Monte Carlo, we saw Nadal at performing at his peak as he didn’t drop a set and allowed three of his opponents just one game each—a sign that he was still capable of dominance. In Rome, with his level not quite as high, the courts playing faster and the competition playing tougher, Nadal dropped one set and staved off a pair of tough challengers in the last two rounds.... 

Living Legends: Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, Just Avatars for Lifeless Fans

Jake Sully can only be a sillier character if he were to exist in real life. At least, one could claim some form of originality of living life through an alien in a sci-fi metaphor for the Third World. Not so with us flesh and blood folk. When we live through other human beings in the real world we are willingly reducing ourselves to a low-budget Hollywood caricature of human frailty. But before... 

Top 5 Reasons The Players Is The Best “Major”

A lot of people will disagree with this.  In fact, a lot of people who have and have not been to majors of any kind will probably take issue with it being called a major.  But it is. (If that’s you, you’ll have to get over it.)   I’ve been to enough of them to know. And I’m here to tell you The Players has all the ingredients of a major.  In fact it... 

Marcello Lippi’s Bias Leaves the Azzurri Living in the Past

With the World Cup fast approaching, the national teams of the participating nations are eagerly anticipating the announcements of their final squads. Yesterday, Marcello Lippi announced his preliminary squad that will be attending a three-day training session. Most Azzurri fans hold Lippi in very high regard, given that he delivered the World Cup title only four short years ago.  It doesn’t... 

The Kids Are Alright: Rory McIlroy and Ryo Ishikawa Make History

Sunday began with 18-year-old Ryo Ishikawa shooting a 58 at the Crowns Tournament (the lowest score ever recorded on any professional golf tour) to win his 7th career Japanese Tour title, continued with 27-year-old Alvaro Quiros winning the Spanish Open in a sudden death playoff and concluded with 20-year-old Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy running away with day’s main event at Quail Hollow Golf... 

Tiger Woods: His Third Tournament Usually Spells Some Good Results

Tiger Woods wins about every third tournament, so I would not be surprised to see a strong showing this week. That is, if Tiger plays like we have grown accustomed to. No B-game will suffice here, as most of the players are at the top of their game and are ready for the season’s “fifth” major, the Players Championship. I will again choose Tiger on my Fantasy Golf team this week on... 

Tiger Woods Divorce: What It Could Mean to His Golf Career

He had the press conference. He tried his best to look sorry. For a while, it seemed to be working. Tiger Woods was getting back to the business that made him everybody’s business. His golf game was looking rusty yet still world class at The Masters. And then the wheels fell off that masterful PR wagon. The New York Daily News reported Friday that Woods told his wife Elin that he may have... 

ATP Men’s Tennis Power Rankings: Rafael Nadal Locked and Loaded Again

As everyone predicted heading into the 2010 clay-court season, it was to be the Year of the Majorcan. So far, it has been almost exclusively Nadal’s reign. Bowing out of Barcelona, Nadal’s crown did not move far from its anointed perch. Fellow countryman Fernando Verdasco wears it in Nadal’s place. So far Nadal has captured titles in Monte Carlo and Rome, equalling Andre Agassi’s... 

PGA Tour: The Players, The Players, The Players

Featured Columnist Andy Reistetter is on site in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida for THE PLAYERS Championship on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.   There are players all around but only one THE PLAYERS Championship, arguably the world of professional golf’s fifth major championship.   PGA TOUR rookie Rory McIlroy wins for the first time with a dramatic 66-62 weekend finish in the Quail... 

Rory McIlroy Carves Quail into Irish Stew

Hope you got a chance to see “the kid” on Sunday. Hope you got to see Rory McIlroy take the golf course that made Tiger Woods look like a solid 5-handicapper and carve it up and turn it into Irish stew. Hope you got to see him make an incredible run of six 3s over the final span of the back nine that shocked the field with a 30 and a new course record, 62, 10-under, and a first PGA Tour...
