I know that it’s popular right now to sort of kick the 14-time major champion when he’s down and “beat a dead Tiger,” but I think there should be some optimism for Eldrick right now. Sure, the US Open allowed Rory McIlroy to not only steal some of his thunder and snap some of his records, but it blew in a new wave of “the next Tiger Woods” talk, and we tend to only...

Team USA is just one win away from its third World Cup title. In its way however, is the technically gifted and disaster-inspired Japan. The Women’s World Cup final is this Sunday, July 17th, at 2:45 p.m. EST from Frankfurt, Germany and will be the first time the US face off against Japan. Whoever wins Sunday will certainly make history. No team in the previous five World Cups has won the title...

They are a little gray of hair and long in the tooth, but the two icons still know how to fill a house and bring back the memories. So it was on Thursday night, at the Sportime Tennis Facility on Randall’s Island in New York, that John McEnroe faced his old rival Bjorn Borg for the first time in New York since the early 1980s. Ironically, it was not nostalgia night for World TeamTennis,...

Plain and simple, Jimenez is an absolute boss and he is a pretty darn good golfer as well. Jimenez finds himself in the red numbers during the second round of the Open,...

Never has golf seemed so timeless. The 61-year-old Tom Watson captivated the gallery at the par-3 6th with a magical seven-iron shot. Watson playing with 20-year-old Tom Lewis (who was named after Watson) continues to dazzle the golf world on Day 2 at the Open Championship. He may not have the same bold putting stroke that allowed him to duel Jack Nicklaus and Seve Ballesteros in the 1970’s...

Like the fog that slowly lifts above Sandwich, England, there is a moment in every major championship when the picture becomes vividly clear. Day one was a red-number blitz that left the Royal St. George’s course defenseless. The wind and the rain failed to defend the sizzling iron shots and the course was simply too short. Thirty-five players broke par and the big hitters had...

A lot of irony was combined with the first round of Thomas Bjorn at this year’s Open. The Dane earned his spot in the field Monday when Vijay Singh withdrew earlier this week, and Singh was the player Bjorn shared the runner-up spot with at Royal St. George’s in 2003. Bjorn opened on Thursday with a five-under 65, and that was his first round in the 60s at the event since his third-round...

Lewis, named after five-time British Open winner Tom Watson,...
