Euro 2012: Predicting the 10 Most Exciting Matchups

Following a few weeks’ anticipation, the Euro 2012 Group Stage draw was finally made last Friday.

Sporting Quotes: Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini, Novak Djokovic and Others

Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini, Ross Taylor, Ishant Sharma and Novak Djokovic have the best quotes cornered in this edition of What They Said, Really Meant and Definitely Did Not.

Taylor would love to see Chris Martin’s... 

Tiger Won the Chevron World Challenge and Insanity Is Restored

The moment he holed the birdie attempt on 18, Twitter started going crazy and predictable headlines popped up shortly after. “Tiger is Back” was the general message to Woods’ one shot victory in a 18 field unofficial tournament, called Chevron World Challenge. However, the world had not challenged Woods this afternoon in California. The top golfers of the world had played earlier... 

Tiger Woods: Why His Latest Victory Will Lead to More Wins in 2012

Tiger Woods had to wait two years between victories, but he’s finally back in the winner’s circle. Tiger birdied the final two holes to outlast Zach Johnson by one stroke en route to winning the 2011 Chevron World Challenge, a tournament hosted by his own foundation. It was classic Tiger Woods at a time when it looked like he might fail to “seal the deal” with clutch putting... 

Tiger Woods: Wins One, Needs More

The Sunday of Dec. 4, 2011 could be a memorable date for Tiger Woods. Wins on any given Sunday used to be routine for the man who has been player of the year a record 10 times, but not anymore. Tiger Woods has skidded off the rails winless for the past two years. That losing streak changed this particular Sunday just past, at the so-called “Chevron World Challenge,” when he beat the formidable... 

Tiger Woods: Woods Will Return to Prominence After Chevron Victory

Tiger Woods won his first tournament in two years, and I think he’ll use this performance as a springboard to return to dominance. Woods ended his two-year drought with a one-stroke victory over Zach Johnson on Sunday. Woods, who was at or near the top of the leader board throughout the tournament, birdied his last two holes to seal the win. It was the first tournament he has won since his personal... 

Tiger Woods: What His Win This Weekend Means for His 2012 Season

The drought is over for Tiger Woods. The world’s former No. 1 golfer took 749 days to hoist a trophy again. Never in his 15-year-career has he faced this situation. Today, Woods finally showed a glimpse of what he used to be, but what does it mean? Tiger made a clutch putt to seal the deal at the Chevron World Challenge. He birdied 18 to beat Zack Johnson by one. With this, he finished his 2011... 

Tim Rosaforte: Golf Channel Analyst Needs to Hang It Up

Tim Rosaforte is one of top mainstream golf analysts.  He writes for the magazine Golf World and appears frequently on the Golf Channel as an “insider”—a guy whose specialty is getting off-the-record information from PGA Tour players. I caught some of his analysis after the third round of the Chevron tournament Saturday evening. Apparently, Rosaforte is a leading proponent of... 

Tiger Woods Finally Wins Again: Let’s Not Get Too Excited

Count me among those not very excited about Tiger Woods finally winning another golf tournament. OK, it is news, good news, and Tiger was pumping his fist at the end, with a winning birdie put—like the Tiger of old.  I’ll give him that.   But if we are really set to usher in the next great Tiger Woods era, then we have to see him do it again.  Maybe I’m being a little... 

Venus Williams’ Wardrobe Malfunction Offers Milan Crowd Extra Show

Venus Williams outlasted her dress in a recent exhibition in Milan, Italy. The tennis great was in the middle of play when her one of the two straps holding up her dress grew fatigued and gave way. Were it not for the quick reflexes of this finely tuned athlete, the Milan crowd would have seen much more than they bargained for. As it is, they got to see an amused and slightly embarrassed Williams...
