Nice guys are supposed to finish last. Well, that’s how the old adage goes. And it may hold true in some cases. But on the PGA Tour, being a nice guy oftentimes means there will be legions of patrons following you around a golf course, with support from near and far. And typically, at least for most of these guys, a place on the top of the leaderboard. There are certainly more than 10 likeable...

If you believe that many PGA Tour professionals have gained a sense of entitlement over the past decade or so, well, you’re right. One needs to look no further than this week’s AT&T National for proof of that. The obscene amount of money in professional golf today can be traced back to just one man: Tiger Woods. Tournament purses have increased by more than 200 percent since Woods arrival...

Another scandal has exploded in the Mexico national team. Shortly removed from the clenbuterol doping scandal in the Gold Cup, Mexican players are at it again. This time in Ecuador, days after an alleged robbery in a hotel, a video emerged of players seen with up to four prostitutes. Those eight U22 players that were four days away from playing the Copa América are now banned for six months...

Not since Phil Mickelson donned the Northern Telecom conquistador helmet do we remember an amateur golfer that has shown a propensity to play with the big boys. Enter Patrick Cantlay, the newest amateur labeled the PGA TOUR’s next can’t miss kid. Not since Hermie in the Summer of 42 has someone enjoyed such a coming of age. And his aw-shucks approach has left...

Just take a moment and imagine, if you will, that you are eavesdropping on Tiger Woods having some phone conversations with some of his “friends” in an effort to boost the star power of this week’s AT&T field at Aronimink. Tiger: Hey, Phil, it’s Tiger, how’re things? Phil: Good Tigh, good, how’s your knee progressing? Tiger: Good Phil, good, I’m not 100...

The debate about new Formula 1 engine regulations for the 2013 season has largely come and gone without much fuss. For awhile, there was a strong push for a four-cylinder, turbocharged effort, rev-limited to around 12,000 RPM. This was originally touted as a green initiative, designed to deliver a 35 percent reduction in fuel consumption while still delivering equivalent power to the current 2.4-litre...

What could be bigger then a Super Rugby semi-final at home against the most successful franchise in the history of the competition? Short answer: Nothing (Other then a home final that is). The rumor running mill around the Cape is that Stormers coach Allister Coetzee is contemplating starting with the experienced Jantjes at fullback for this crunch match. This move would presumably see Gio Aplon being...

Now what? After a disappointing defeat to Mexico in the Gold Cup final, there is not much to do if you’re a USA Soccer fan. There is no Confederations Cup to look forward to, World Cup Qualifying is far in the distance and even that small tournament hosted by Brazil is over 1,000 days away. Many USMNT fans are still drinking their troubles away in a hope that the Gold Cup will magically appear...

The PGA Tour season is past the halfway mark. Two down, two to go in the major championship season. So how do you sum it all up so far? Well, it’s uh, er, well, it’s lederhosen! Lederhosen? Yes, all you have to do is look to the right at Dustin Johnson wearing lederhosen. Johnson bears an eerie resemblance to the character “Squiggy” from the old television series Laverne...
