Andrea Petkovic Leads German Tennis’ Return to Prominence

There was a time when German tennis prospered with stars such as Steffi Graf and Boris Becker. Both world No. 1 players became legends in their country. Between the end of the ’80s and the end of the ’90s, tennis was so popular that there were a bunch of great tournaments around the country: Berlin, the Masters in Frankfurt, Masters 1000 in Hamburg and Stuttgart. Moneymakers also came up... 

Camilo Villegas: Once Bright PGA Star Already Fading?

Camillo Villegas or “Spiderman” as many call him due to his unorthodox style of reading the greens, made quite a bit of noise coming out of Medellin, Columbia via the University of Florida in 2007, his rookie year on the PGA Tour. In that season, Villegas played in 24 PGA Tour events, making the cut in 17 of those, while raking up a second-place finish, a third-place finish, six top-10... 

Heritage Classic: With No Title Sponsor for 2012, Harbour Town in Its 12th Hour

Nearly 18 months have passed since Verizon decided to not renew its sponsorship of the Heritage Classic in Harbour Town, South Carolina, and still no corporate sponsor has shown much interest in picking up top billing. The Sea Pines Resort setting is the perfect location for touring players to bring their families to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, weather and experience that this area of South Carolina... 

Tiger Woods: Power Ranking the Young Guns Who Could Keep Tiger from No. 1

As I watched Tiger Woods obliterate the front nine of Augusta National on Sunday at the Masters, I couldn’t help but slide closer and closer to the edge of my couch. It was as if Tiger’s expanding gravitational pull was sucking me in. When he made eagle on No. 8—getting him to five under on his round and squarely in the hunt—I literally fell off the couch. No other golfer in... 

Gavin Henson: Will Toulon Indiscretions Prove the Last Straw for Welsh Wizard?

When Gavin Henson made his Welsh debut in 2001, barely 19 years of age, it appeared that a new star of Welsh rugby had been born and that he would be the centrepiece of a line of backs that would re-energise the sport and dominate Rugby Union in the Northern hemisphere for a decade. He picked up the International Rugby Board’s Young Player of the Year that same season. The future looked bright... 

Formula 1: Briatore Broadside Writes Off Flawed Ferrari for 2011

Flavio Briatore is not a man renowned for his deep introspection and making carefully considered and moderate statements. Like the company with whom he made fame and fortune—Benetton—he is bold, brash and can occasionally get on people’s nerves, but above all, he’s almost impossible not to notice. It won’t come as a surprise to anyone, therefore, that Briatore has looked...

Jim Furyk and 10 Golfers Who’ll Be in the Hunt at the Heritage at Hilton Head

Kathy Bissell Harbour Town Golf Links isn’t for everyone.  Accuracy is important. The holes are tight. Narrow, tree-lined corridors are the predominant feature, and the wind can play havoc with every shot. Tiger Woods will never play the course. Harbour Town greens are small targets, so the bonus for hitting them is that putts are not as long as at some other courses, TPC at San Antonio,... 

Martin Kaymer: Is He Falling from His No. 1 Perch?

When Martin Kaymer ascended to the top spot in the world, I will concede, I thought we had a real top player. However, what has shown of recent is not that of a true top golfer. A true top golfer is in contention when they are on the course. They are respected by all, and they have the wins to back it up. While Martin Kaymer has a major and has a win in this season, he still lacks the consistency when...
