It wasn’t the spectacular accomplishments or spectacular failures on the fabled 17th. Rather, the biggest story of the weekend was Tiger Woods withdrawing after just nine holes and 42...

Holding the 54-hole lead at a big-time event has recently turned into some kind of curse. At last week’s Players Championship we saw yet another Sunday come and go with the 54-hole leader posting yet another massive number.

This week, the PGA Tour rolls into the Lone Star State with a staple stop at Colonial Country Club for the Crowne Plaza Invitational. Zach Johnson is the defending champion at Colonial, where he set a course record 21 under par last year. Hot off a closing round 66 at The Players last week, Johnson should use that momentum and his recent success here to put up some nice numbers. Here are five more...

We’ve all known about Tiger’s injury issues since the 2008 US Open, then to find out that he also had an achilles issue. Now, it’s the same knee, and a new achilles. However, everyone seems to question his issues. This is a disclaimer: I support Tiger, and believe that he is injured. Despite his history, you can’t just say “he lied once why is he telling the truth now?” Believe...

It was announced by the European Ryder Cup committee that the 2018 Ryder Cup will be played in shadow of the Eiffel Tower, as opposed to within the much larger golf shadow of Seve Ballesteros. Spain was in the running to host the biannual event, along with Germany, Portugal and the Netherlands, but the committee saw fit to take one of the most popular events in the sport to France. Of the...

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tiger Woods may have more in common than just the fact that they’re world class athletes.

The event will take place at Le Golf National course, which is located just outside of Paris, France. The French government has pressed hard for a long time to get this event and, despite some concern that it would slip through the cracks,...
