2011 PGA Tour: Unfamiliar Names Making an Impression in the FedEx Cup

One would be forgiven if the names currently leading the way in the 2011 US PGA Tour FedEx Cup Standings were not immediately recognizable. Currently the tour is being led by Mark Wilson. He has accumulated 1,055 points so far, but he failed to make a top-10 finish in 2010. Incredibly, he has already won twice this year from the seven tournaments he has played. His first win came in the Sony Open in... 

Camilo Villegas and 10 Golfers Guaranteed to Be in the Mix at the Honda Classic

Last year, Camilo Villegas ran away from the field, finishing at 13 under, a five-stroke margin over Anthony Kim. This year’s tournament will be played with the same circumstances as last year: Tiger Woods won’t be there. Lee Westwood will, as well as Rory McIlroy and Ross Fisher. So kind of them to grace us with their presence. We wouldn’t want them to come out to the Players’,... 

Men’s Tennis: The Top Rivalry Matches in the Open Era

This is the sort of thing that one is wont to discuss at this time of the year, when the real beef of the season on the clay and grass hasn’t quite started and the first grand slam is out of the way. It is a time for reflection and typically, the conversation starts off about greatness. One has the debate on the GOAT, but, more infrequently, discussion on the great rivalries—especially... 

Arkansas Upset Win in 2011 John Hayt Collegiate Invitational at Sawgrass CC

Coming into the 20th rendition of the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational, No. 13 Arkansas was the lowest ranked Top-20 team in the field behind Florida (3), Auburn (9), and LSU (10). After what is known as the “first collegiate major of the year” at the famed Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., the Razorbacks team, along with Head Coach Brad McMakin and Assistant Coach Barrett... 

Egyptian Soccer Introduces Financial Austerity

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA), introducing financial austerity in the wake of the popular uprising that last month toppled President Hosni Mubarak, has announced salary reduction for all its employees. The reduction comes amid fury about EFA proposals to cap transfer pricing, as well as salaries of players and coaches. The EFA said on its website that no member of its staff would earn more... 

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal: Are Their Days of Dominating Tennis Over?

Just this weekend, the two men who continue to attract fans, viewers and inspire the club players reflected on the question of dominance in men’s tennis. The world No. 1 and No. 2, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, were not alone in this speculation. A former all-time great, Andre Agassi, also gave his five cents on the matter. So, what did they say and what’s the current outlook for dominance... 

Tiger Woods: Does He Remind You of Mike Tyson?

Johnny Miller has compared Tiger Woods’ fall from the #1 player in the world to Mike Tyson’s fall from the #1 boxer in the world. Miller is quoted as saying, “It’s a little bit like a Mike Tyson story to be honest with you.” I get the comparison from an athletic standpoint, but that’s where it ends, and that’s all Johnny Miller was comparing. Two athletes who... 

Novak Djokovic: Noticeable Changes That Suggest He’s Made the Next Step

Novak Djokovic stormed onto the scene when he won the 2008 Australian Open. Many people thought that would open a floodgate of major titles for the young Serb. Surprisingly, Djokovic hit what some would call a slump. He continued to make deep runs in big tournaments but couldn’t break through on the big stage. Everything would be fine until he ran into a top opponent. He would squander chances... 

Egyptian Soccer Focuses on Corruption Rather Than Performance

The talk in Egyptian soccer focuses these days on financial austerity and corruption rather than performance on the pitch that remains empty with professional league matches suspended since anti-government protests erupted late January. The shift in focus was prompted by a call by the Egyptian Football Association to cap transfer-pricing and the salaries of players and coaches. The proposal has inadvertently... 

Tiger-Free: 2011 Unofficial World Golf Power Ranking as of March 1

So, we are officially into March of 2011. Crazy, isn’t it? Feels like just yesterday we were ripping on Tiger for not winning at Torrey Pines. Enough about him, though. It’s hard for anyone to believe, but Tiger Woods will not be a name in the top 15 of this list. And when I say hard to believe, I mean given who he is. Not the current circumstance. What this list is going to do is probably...
