The first round of the 2011 PGA Grand Slam of Golf is history. Keegan Bradley (PGA Championship winner) and Rory McIlroy (US Open Winner) both shot 67 and are tied for the lead at four-under. Charl Schwartzel (Masters Winner) is a distant third at three-over, while Darren Clarke (British Open winner) is even further at six-over. With only one more round to be played, both Schwartzel and...

The PGA Tour Fall Series draws to a close this week with the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic at Disney. So far, the Fall Series has been anything but disappointing. Last week Ben Crane came from six shots back with nine to play to beat Webb Simpson in a playoff, and Bud Cauley became just the sixth player to earn his tour card without going to Q-School. There are some familiar faces...

The raft of radical changes introduced into Formula One for the 2011 season have proven to be just as pointless and ineffectual as most of those preceding them. After an initial flurry of excitement and overtaking, the influence of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), DRS (Drag Reduction System) and Pirelli’s self-shredding tyres have been all but eliminated. Instead, we have returned to the...

Winning three slams in one year used to be something out of the ordinary. After all, only six men have done it in the Open Era, namely Rod Laver winning all four in 1969, Jimmy Connors in 1974, Mats Wilander in 1988, Roger Federer in 2004, 2006 and 2007, Rafael Nadal in 2010 and Novak Djokovic in 2011. What is noteworthy in this list is the absence of names like Björn Borg, John McEnroe,...

No golfer in the history of the game has been a more polarizing figure than Tiger Woods. Although off the course troubles have affected his game and fueled speculation on whether or not he can ever regain form, his previous accomplishments are more than enough to solidify a hall of fame career and qualify him for talks as the game’s greatest ever. Tiger did more from 1998-2009 than any other...

As a nation we’re collectively saying that the All Blacks have already played their final. Meanwhile the French continue searching for their best game. Is this the dangerous mixture that will make Sunday’s clash a closer affair than what many experts are predicting? In New Zealand, the hype mill is starting to produce oodles of confidence that the host nation is finally going to win...

American tennis, perhaps more than ever, has several athletes waiting in the wings who are primed and ready to climb the rankings in the coming new year. They are young (no pun intended), trained since childhood, made a multitude of sacrifices and put in the long and arduous hours—combined with their innate predisposition—to reach a plateau where they can feasibly take the brass ring that...

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil less than 3 years away, qualifiers have already kicked off in Africa (CAF), Asia (AFC) and Central/Northern America (Concacaf). Oceania and Europe are yet to start while Southern America began on October 7th. Despite Brazil automatically being qualified as a host nation, CONMEBOL didn’t change the way its qualifiers would be set up. All nine participating...

Tiger Woods might be the author of some of golf’s finest shots, but that doesn’t exempt him from feeling a little frustrated at times. The former world No.1 has shown he has quite a temper when it comes to making mistakes on the course, and with his recent fall out from the Official World Golf Rankings, his tantrums have grown quickly.

For years, pundits have been lauding Roger Federer‘s game, pooh-poohing any intimation of weakness. And yes, for all intents and purposes, the Swiss-born tennis superhero has proven himself to be, arguably, the greatest to ever hold a racket. In the last year or two, however, the 30-year-old, who first rose to the No. 1 standing in 2004, has seen a steady decline in his ranking. In fact, he was...
