Tennis Legend Ivan Lendl: Could He Stop Andy Murray’s Free Fall?

These days Andy Murray walks onto the tennis court a defeated man, ready to receive the next dose of humiliation. While this does not appear to be the case on the surface, mentally Murray appears to be in no man’s land—in danger of sinking completely from sight as he begins another journey onto the porous red clay of Europe. Since he moved into the top five in September of 2008, the Scot... 

Golf’s Decline in America: Work/Life Balance Is the True Culprit

Golf is on the decline in America.  That reality has finally smacked us in the face like a two-by-four. The number of core American golfers (those playing eight rounds or more per year) has fallen between three and 4.5 percent every year since 2006.

Tiger Woods as Fallen Hero: The Journey from Role Model to Chump

Not long ago, I was probably the world’s No. 1 fan of Tiger Woods.

In late 1996, inspired largely by Earl Woods declaring Tiger...
