He cited stability and recruiting success as major reasons for contract renewal. Rongen hinted that... 

Tiger Woods and His Trick Knee Aiming and Hoping for the U.S. Open

Tiger Woods, the owner of golf’s most famous trick knee, is telling us he’ll play in the U.S. Open at Congressional next month, and by quick math, it’s 30 days until he has to stand on the first tee and hit a real live driver again. The propaganda home for Eldrick T. Woods, also known as TigerWoods.com, says so. “I’ll do whatever is necessary to play in the U.S. Open... 

Tiger Woods: 5 Reasons His "B" Game Is No Longer Good Enough on the PGA Tour

There was a time a few years ago when Tiger Woods could win a golf tournament even if he wasn’t playing at his best. Knees would get weak, and golfers would start making mistakes if they saw his name at the top of the leaderboard.

England’s Best: The 50 Greatest to Have Ever Worn the ‘Three Lions’

It is probably no coincidence that England’s one major tournament win, the 1966 World Cup, came from a team consisting of some of their best ever players. Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Gordon Banks and Alan Ball, to name but a few.

K.J. Choi and 10 Lessons We Learned at the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass

K.J. Choi would never have been anyone’s pick to win The Players Championship. He was so far under the radar that he would have been below ground. The “smart” money was on Luke Donald; the sentimental money was on Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson. But Woods pulled out after nine holes, and Mickelson could not craft a birdie barrage that lasted despite posting a 31 for one nine. So when...

KJ Choi and David Toms Provide Good Theater at Players Championship

The home of theater golf was home to some pretty good theater Sunday when K.J. Choi edged out David Toms on the first playoff hole at the Players Championship. Toms let Choi in the door when he turned a potential eagle/sure birdie into a bogey at the 16th hole Sunday, hitting what looked like it should have been a pretty simple hybrid fade into the water instead of onto the green. Toms battled back... 

2011 Players Championship: Did David Toms Choice on No. 16 Cost Him the Victory?

Coming down the stretch of the 2011 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Pont Vedra Beach, Fla. David Toms seemingly had the upper hand over K.J. Choi for his first win in over five years.
