Woods has played just three tournaments since the Masters. In those tournaments he has one withdraw, tied for 37th place, and most recently he missed the cut at the PGA Championship. Couples had been flip-flopping on the whole Woods saga...

It is the million dollar question in golf—Will Tiger Woods ever return to old form and win another major championship? The answer is, simply, yes. Woods is 35 years old, and if he can stay healthy, he has 13 years left until he surpasses the age of the oldest golfer to win a major championship. Julius Boros won one at the age of 48 years, four months and 18 days. In those 13 years, Woods has...

With the regular season behind us, I decided to look back and see how difficult each tournament proved to be. Even though the majors are not hosted by the PGA Tour, they were included. I did not include the tournaments played concurrently with WGC events or The British Open. The ranking was done by comparing the tournament scoring average in relation to par. For example, the average...

Athletes in today’s society are propelled to the highest of standards. Some stay out of the public eye, while others always seem to find themselves in the middle of it all. Tiger Woods had the public eye on him constantly, but had nothing but a positive public perception, until one November day. Woods has yet to resurrect his career since the dark cloud that ripped his family apart, and...

For most of my life, I have admired Oakmont Country Club from a distance. I was introduced to the game at 15 years old and have since marveled at Oakmont’s history and reputation as one of the most beautiful and most difficult golf courses in the world. But it wasn’t until last year, at the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open, that I set foot on the grounds and completely fell in love with this...

The All Blacks have lost their second match in as many weeks. Will Genia stole the show as the Wallabies upset the New Zealanders 25-20 in both sides last hit out before the Rugby World Cup. The first half was all Wallabies as the forwards constantly bullied their more fancied opponents, forcing the All Blacks to have to defend for long periods. Even when the All Blacks did get the ball little of it...

If I had heard back in January that Lewis Hamilton and Pastor Maldonado would get into such a rivalry, I would have scoffed and labeled the prediction as absolutely rubbish. But lo and behold not, once but twice the pair have been involved in altercations—both of which were avoidable and simply unnecessary. The first round occurred at Monaco earlier this year. Hamilton had a tough...
