Have you ever thought that your weekend golf course was difficult? If you said yes, then there’s something wrong with you, you’re lying, or you’re just that bad. If you want a hard test, I can give you one. Just step out onto any of the courses in the next 25 slides, and tell me your score. All of these courses have or would give Tiger Woods and the rest of the PGA a good battle (one...

It was one of those moments of good fortune, when the laptop was almost closed, the Skybox almost put to sleep, the day turned over to something more useful. It was, after all, a mere filler in the broadcasting schedule at the end of a decent afternoon’s tennis from Monte Carlo. But it became instead a moment of hesitation, of curious interest, of captured attention. And it revealed the moment...

Rafael Nadal‘s cruise has come to an end. The World No. 1, who has not won a title since Tokyo last October, will begin his quest to defend his titles in Monte Carlo, Rome, Madrid, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open. The good news for the Spaniard is he could have afford to have an average start of the season for his standard. Nadal was a quarter-finalist at the Australian Open in 2010...

Let’s make one thing very clear: Tiger Woods doesn’t owe you anything. The same is true of the media, fans, casual onlookers, and Sunday channel-surfers as far as what they owe Woods. The answer is nothing. The majestic beauty of fandom is the subjectivity of it. I love the Packers because I just do, because I always have, and because I always will. You don’t have to, that’s...

In a week where many of the top women rested from tournament play and prepared themselves for the clay season, world No. 1. Caroline Wozniacki was on the clay court and once again defied her skeptics and added another title to her already blistering resume. The 20-year-old Dane beat Elena Vesnina 6-2, 6-3 and made 26 winners to go with just 10 unforced errors in the Charleston final. Those are...

For a moment at the 2011 Masters, it appeared that the Tiger of old was back and on his way to another Major. That day was not Sunday, however, and Tiger had to settle for a fourth-place tie. So when will we see the Tiger of old, the man who dominated the sport for so long? What will it take to get him back on top? Or perhaps we should be asking, who will it take to get him back on top? No pun intended,...

Last year, Mercedes finished a solid, if unspectacular, fourth in the constructors championship. They would have wanted to be further up the grid, but for a first season in their comeback, it was a respectable effort. The 2011 season was meant to be the big step up for the team. Testing pace before the season was fairly poor with the car seeming off the pace once again. However, they placed a load...

Tiger Woods’ front nine Sunday at Augusta made people think he would win the Masters. While his disappointing back nine took him out of contention, he showed that his game is close to being back. As it stands right now, Woods is four major titles short of tying Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 career majors. While four majors is not easy, Woods has twice won four majors over two full years (2000-2001...

Tiger Woods is back…well almost. Regardless of whoever won the Masters (I think his name is Charles or Charlie, maybe even Chuckster), the most important development from this weekend is that Tiger Woods is back, and when Tiger is back that’s bad news for every other golfer in the world . While it was in fact Charl Schwartzel, who came away with the Green jacket last weekend, Tiger’s...

Caroline Wozniacki‘s once-tentative hold on the No. 1 ranking in the world has now become a vise-like grip. By winning at Charleston on Sunday, and with No. 2 Kim Clijsters limited by injury, Wozniacki extended her points lead over her closest rival to more than 1,800 (9,930 to 8,115). There was only one minor change in the women’s top 25 as Svetlana Kuznetsova vaulted Agnieszka...
