David Villa will be sidelined for six months after breaking his tibia. A year ago this would have been a huge blow for Barcelona as Villa was a key to Barcelona’s offense and success. This year has been a different story as Villa had been relegated to a supporting role and was only seeing limited time off the bench. Last week Barcelona beat Real Madrid without Villa and will surely...

In Mexico, there are three topics that usually strike a chord when they come up in any conversation: politics, religion and football. All three of them promote debate.

Arizona is the Diamondbacks. Arkansas is the Razorbacks. When politicians aren’t taking kickbacks, they’re talking cutbacks and of course there is Tim Tebow, the quarterback who has God’s back or vice versa. But the biggest “back” in sports or politics is Tiger Woods. Is he or isn’t he back? That finish at Sherwood sure made you feel like Tiger was back. Back to...

Coming off of his first victory in two years, things are finally beginning to look up for Tiger Woods. In the two years that passed between his last victory and his win at the Chevron, nearly everything in his life has changed.

Long putter, belly putter or conventional putter, that is the big question today. Adam Scott had a fantastic year after changing to the long putter. Keegan Bradley won the PGA Championship and Webb Simpson won three times with the belly putter. One of the best putters of all time, Phil Mickelson even gave the belly putter a try for a couple of rounds. What is all the fuss about? ...

The 2011 golf season just officially ended in Dubai with Alvaro Quiros draining a long breaking putt for an eagle to win the tournament, but Luke Donald birdied that same 72nd hole to put an exclamation point on winning the Race to Dubai. Donald finished the year No. 1 on the European Tour, PGA Tour and, oh yeah, No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). He did not have a major...

History was written today at the Earth Course of the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. Alvaro Quiros made a monster eagle-putt from across the 18th hole to secure the win at the Dubai World Championship presented by DP World. On a day where the breeze never developed into the strong one that was predicted, Quiros finished at 19-under, two shots ahead of 1999 Open Champ Paul Lawrie, and three ahead of...
