After seven games, Jürgen Klinsmann has used four different formations and the results haven’t been what media and fans expected. There’s been a lot of criticism surrounding Klinsmann’s decisions, so let’s take a look at the formations and score of each friendly match: Mexico: 4-2-3-1 (draw 1-1); Costa Rica: 4-3-3 (lost 1-0); Belgium: 4-3-3...

Peter Hanson from Sweden, tied the Jumeirah Golf Estates course record with an eight-under 64, and is the leader after round one at the Dubai World Championships. Hanson, fresh off his third-place finish at the UBS Hong Kong Open, played a flawless, bogey-free round, which included a six-under on the back-nine. He holds a one-shot lead over 1999 Open Champ Paul Lawrie, who also had a bogey-free round,...

At the ATP World Tour Finals a few weeks ago, the lone American representative was World No. 8 Mardy Fish. Andy Roddick, currently 14 in the standings, held that role at the event before, but for 2012 he’s out to make sure Fish has some company from a compatriot. Other American men also stand to make gains on the top 10 next season, or could hit new highs in the rankings. Here’s a look...

Rafael Nadal has not had a bad year. He’s had the kind of year that most tennis players would be willing to trade their entire careers for. Moreover, compared to the past, Nadal has been quite lucky with his health through 2011, with only minor injuries to deal with. Yet, compared to his 2010, Nadal’s 2011 both looks and feels worse. Most prominent is perhaps the slam count. In 2010,...

At the conclusion of the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in 2008, when Tiger Woods won his 14th major, few doubted he would sooner or later break Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories. Oh, what a different world we live in today. Tiger has played so poorly (by his standards) for the last two years that only a few seemingly foolish souls still dare to predict he will win even one more...

Gone is the Nike swoosh that used to adorn David Duval‘s bag, hat, apparel and checkbook. He finished 152nd on the PGA Tour money list in 2011. Last week at PGA Tour Q-School, his under the radar rounds of 72, 72, 73, 73, 68 and 72 left him unceremoniously at 2-under, tied for 63rd. Twelve years ago he was first. Not at Q-school, on the PGA Tour. Duval showed up at the final...

After two painful years of doubt and shame, Tiger Woods finally rejoiced with his iconic fist-pump on a Sunday afternoon. Although this was an untraditional tourney with a smaller than usual field, a win is a win, and this was the best way Tiger could finish the 2011 season. Will this win assure him a successful 2012 season? Nope. Did this win have anything to do with reversing the negativity surrounding...

Tiger Woods finally got a win at last week’s Chevron World Challenge. He donated the $1.2 million to his charity the Tiger Woods Foundation—not a bad little tax deduction. But what is next for Tiger? I don’t think we will see him at the Franklin Templeton Shark Shootout this week. Tiger bemoaned the fact during his post-tournament press conference that he had been putting in some...

Horizon Sports has been representing Rory McIlory for less than two months, and they already find themselves involved in one of the most bizarre situations they have or ever will face. Horizon is attempting to retrieve McIlroy’s U.S. Open Trophy from Chinese Customs Officials, who are unwilling to release the trophy. McIlory had planned to showcase his U.S. Open trophy during his recent...

With the news that Ferrari were departing from Formula One Teams Association (FOTA), the subject of testing has once again returned to the surface. Ten years ago, the teams which could afford it spent millions on extensive testing schedules, using multiple drivers and even separate teams of mechanics to extract every tenth from their cars. The testing took place as often as possible, before and...
