For those of you yearning for some real golf action while Tiger Woods ices down his bum knee (someone already iced down his putter), here’s a dandy for you. How about John Smoltz and Andrew Giuliani paired together at this week’s Nationwide stop, the South Georgia Classic in Valdosta? This has to be the biggest thing in Valdosta since boiled peanuts. You’ve got Smoltz, the former...

Apparently, Tiger Woods can’t play anymore for awhile, as he is now limping around in a cast or some sort of stabilizing device to help him recover from a knee and Achilles tendon injury he suffered while trying to hit a shot out from under a tree. With his current driving accuracy, ranked 176th and distance figures, ranked 65th, he better get that knee real strong because when he returns...

The Majors, the Grand Slams, The Big Four. These are some of the names we hear when people talk about the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and The U.S. Open. Throughout the years since the open era began in 1969, we have been witnesses and privy to some of the greatest matches ever witnessed on a tennis court. The Grand Slams bring out the best in players. They are playing for...

The traveling circus of the PGA Tour sets up shop this week in the “Big Easy,” New Orleans, Louisiana. Teeing it up at the TPC Louisiana for the Zurich Classic. The TPC Louisiana is a little different track than the players were playing on last week at Harbour Town in Hilton Head, SC. Harbour Town is a very tight tree-lined course whereas the TPC Louisiana gives a little more room...

Last season, the 2010 French Open marked the culmination of a player sweeping the major titles of the entire clay-court season––the final act of the Tao of Nadal. No man quite dominated the red dirt so completely since Bjorn Borg did in the late 1970s and early 1980s. That said, no individual has yet to equal Chris Evert’s record on clay—man or woman—by winning 125...

Rewind a few weeks to the Masters Tournament. Remember when Tiger Woods appeared to be doing squats under the Eisenhower Tree at No. 17 during the third round? Well, the shot he played from that awkward stance in the pine needles apparently did enough harm to his left knee that he’ll miss next week’s PGA Tour stop, the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, ...

What does it mean to be great? That is a question I struggled with for a long time in coming up with this list. Is it producing a result that few, if any, can match? Is it the mastery of a pressure-filled moment? A combination of the two? We as fans love sports because they give us the chance to witness the impossible—to watch our heroes reach new levels of performance and to achieve, even if...

When Ernie Els won the US Open in 1997 at Congressional, par was 70 and the Blue Course was 7,213 yards long. This year, when they tee it up in June for the 2011 U.S. Open in Bethesda, MD, they will be playing the same course, but they won’t be playing the same course. The new extended holes the pros will face add 355 yards to the 1997 total, bringing this year’s version of Congressional...

Tennis Now In a situation begging for a much needed response, last night Donald Young gave up the ghost and apologized for his twitter outburst against the United States Tennis Association this past Friday, after a bleak Easter weekend of silence and a newly deleted twitter account. The apology took place shortly after Patrick McEnroe expressed his anger over the situation...

As an individual sport, being a fan of golf is different than other sports. Even if you have a favorite, you can’t help but applaud when the other guys do well. In sports where defense is allowed, you can at least criticize your favorites for not playing better. Obviously, the sport has been around for hundreds of years. From a television sense, people didn’t see much golf until the late-50’s,...
