It’s no secret I really like watching the competition for tour cards in the fall. In some ways I think that it’s more compelling to see guys struggling to stay in the top 125 or 150, than compete for a top-10 world rankings spot. This article on golfweek.com got me thinking. Failure on the PGA Tour is more lucrative than expected. In fact, in 2009 the top-125...

Last Sunday, Tiger Woods watched in pain as his birdie on the first and only playoff hole skittered past the cup, resulting in the extension of what was already his longest streak without a win. It concluded a tragic year for Woods, one that was set up to be a strong one but turned out to be anything but that. It all started on Thanksgiving in 2009, when Woods awkwardly stumbled out of his...

Force India are the unusual focus of the F1 transfer market this year. As Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes are set to have an unchanged lineup for next season, the focus falls on the midfield for driver changes. However, Williams have confirmed that Pastor Maldonado will drive with Rubens Barrichello next season. Surprisingly, Vitaly Petrov has supposedly done enough to be in the Renault team...

Although the title would suggest that I am going to review 2010 in golf, I would like to start by re-living that night of Nov. 27, 2009. As all golf fans know, this was the night when Tiger Woods, one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game, came crashing down. On a personal level, the start of the whole saga was rather surreal. I had been sitting enjoying a few drinks with university friends,...

The representatives of Guillermo Ochoa are almost close to a deal with Fulham FC and Club America concerning the future of the goalkeeper. Guillermo Ochoa has met with Alistair Mackintosh and Mark Hughes, the president and coach, respectively, of Fulham FC, and has passed his requirements for the club. While it appears that the deal is done, some obstacles have appeared. Guillermo...

Well, the silly season of golf is officially over. And with nothing on schedule until January 3 (when the Hyundai Tournament of Champions begins in Hawaii) it is time to look ahead to the players expected to step up in a big way during the 2011 season. Even PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem admits, “I’ve never in my tenure seen so much buzz and interest about rookies and young players creating...

For the United States it’s been a roller coaster ride through 2010, set up by the events of the last four years. But this year was the culmination of something great. From the Home Depot center in Los Angeles in January, to Holland in March, to, obviously, South Africa in the summer and closing up shop back in South Africa in November, it has been a 2010 that US Soccer fans will never forget. Begin...

Despite not winning a single event and contending in less than a handful, the 2010 season was all about Tiger Woods. Will Woods win in 2010? What’s going on with Woods’s swing? Is Woods working with Sean Foley? What’s going on with Woods’ putter? Will Woods lose his world number-one ranking? Will Woods regain his world number-one ranking? Although there are hundreds of other...

This issue first piqued my interest when I read the official book for Wimbledon 2001. On the summary of the top eight seeds pre-tournament form, the second seed, Andre Agassi, was said to have had a greater chance of winning Wimbledon then than in the ’90s because the surface had been slowed down. I was perplexed, the courts had slowed down? When I joined Bleacher Report, both Federer and Rafa...

No single player can deny the dominance Tiger Woods has experienced as a professional golfer. Depending on how you stack them, he is in the top three players ever to touch a golf club (along with Bobby Jones and Jack Nicklaus). The past two years has seen the “bottom” of his career, but take it this way: do most professional golfers over a two-year span win six tournaments, make over $11...
