Interesting groupings for Wednesday’s skins game at the Memorial. Jack Nicklaus, instead of grouping himself with Tiger Woods, like we assumed he would, has chosen instead to put himself in a group with Phil Mickelson. Jack explains it as a chance to play with Phil, because last year Mickelson had to skip the skins game. But this does beg the question: couldn’t Jack have played with...

Whenever Roger Federer loses a match, it’s a big deal. When he loses in a Major, it’s front-page news. However, when the game’s all-time greatest player fails to make it to the semifinals of a Major, one might be prone to look outside to see if the sky is falling. Rest assured, despite Federer’s loss to Robin Soderling today, the universe is still in balance. The defending champion...

It was one of the most impressive runs in tennis history, but all records are meant to be broken. In losing to Sweden’s Robin Soderling Tuesday in the French Open quarterfinal, Roger Federer’s run of 23 consecutive appearances in a Grand Slam semifinal or better came to an end. In losing to Soderling for the first time in 13 head-to-head matches, Federer could lose the No. 1 world ranking...

Was anyone else worried that an almost entirely Tiger-less 2010 PGA Tour season would be bland and run-of-the-mill? To my eternal shame, I was quick to succumb to media whispers that without Woods’ monumental impact, not only would TV ratings suffer, but there would be a total lack of suspense, fervor, and intrigue for golf fans worldwide. However, if this season has taught me anything thus far,...

We didn’t know what to expect from Justine Henin coming into Roland Garros following a 20-month retirement. If she did what she’d done at the Australian Open—going from a wildcard to the final—it would be par for what she’s done in Paris done through the years. Henin has won four French Open titles and looked to be in prime form to compete for a fifth, cruising through...

Seven million people will have Tiger Woods as their A-player in fantasy golf this weekend, so your next three selections on your team will be important to keep pace, that is, as long as Woods delivers to the confidant masses. I am sucked into that huge abyss of also selecting Tiger Woods to win this week. Pictured, however is K.J.Choi. a proven winner on Tour, that plays well with Woods in the field....

Unsurprisingly, Rafael Nadal is into the quarterfinals of the 2010 French Open after his straight-set, fourth round victory yesterday at Roland Garros. The world’s second-ranked player is the French Open’s defining player of this generation, dominating the tournament for the last five years. This year, Nadal has advanced to the quarterfinals without a scratch on him. Just once in four...

During the 1966 Masters, Jack Nicklaus first spoke of his desire to host a tournament like the Masters. So, in the early ’70s, Nicklaus went off and began creating Muirfield Village, which is named after the site of his first British Open title (Muirfield, Scotland) and is a half mirrored image of Augusta National (only with right to left holes replacing Augusta’s left-to-right holes because...
