While no one was really paying a lot of attention, Matt Kuchar was racking up dollars and shaving strokes off his scores. Today he was awarded the PGA Tour’s Arnold Palmer Award for being the leading money winner in 2010 with a little over $ 4 million and change. The award, obviously, does not include the $10 million for first place in the FedEx Cup or it would have gone to Jim Furyk. Of...

Once upon a time in the land of football…. The scene is a five star hotel of a Brazilian capital on the eve of the penultimate round of the Brazilian Championship of 2009. The elevator door opens. Wearing slippers and the training uniform of a Brazilian Serie A club, a player walks into the hall. A stranger waves to him. They both discreetly greet each other and walk to the lobby bar. Instead...

England take on France in a friendly match at Wembley on Wednesday night, and this friendly international by name has ingredients for a spicy night. Fabio Capello, however, has other ideas on his mind, with his squad selection showing new faces which surprised a few.

Winding down a globe-trotting season is never an easy proposition for the world’s best players. Checking in and out of numerous hotel rooms; handing in racket-after-racket to the stringers on site; or waiting for a rain-delayed match to begin: It can certainly take its toll. But when looking back on one’s year, the satisfaction of qualifying for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finale must,...

I was speaking to a sociologist/artist the other day that was adamant in explaining to me that sport and tennis in general cannot be considered an art. Her explanation was that art, whether it would be music, film or paint, shows emotions and feelings. With art you can share your emotions and feelings with your friends or your partner, hence creating a connection with the artwork. However, is it true...

The 2010 Formula One season has been run and won and we have seen Sebastian Vettel crowned world champion. The championship race was fascinating throughout the season, with five drivers in contention for most of the year. The battle continued without anyone being capable of producing a decisive lead and with the remarkable statistic that the driver leading the championship did not manage to win a race...

Every so often a race earns immortality due to a spectacular event. The 1993 European Grand Prix at Donington when Senna in a underpowered Mclaren went from fifth to first on lap one and then went on to win by a huge distance. The 1979 French Grand Prix when Gilles Villeneuve and Rene Arnoux had one of the greatest battles in Formula 1 history for second place. The list goes on… However, one...

Adam Scott travels well. He won early in the year in San Antonio—at the new TPC course—and again in Singapore, to go along with his late-season win in 2009 at the Australian Open. That is three victories in less than 12 months, just after Greg Norman made him a captain’s pick for the 2009 Presidents Cup. It must have been just what Scott needed. Scott became one...

In the day, it was a theme of abstruseness, of obscurity, of unknown: the epitome of the word revolution. This so-called revolution, the internet, has done us our good, but of course, given birth to cyber-borne soldiers. Instead of lining on a battle field, these soldiers jab at each other like birds fighting for the last worm. But for them, a cause infinite times more worth than a worm;...
