Whenever a major international tournament pops up, some manager or another always gets the bright idea to limit his players’ activities. Sometimes they prohibit their players from intimate relations with their wives and girlfriends (though, apparently, Fabio Capello didn’t consider the possibility...

Bubba Watson is no longer just a PGA Tour sideshow. Since he joined the elite ranks of professional golf in 2006, Watson certainly displayed plenty of potential—and he even won a few tournaments along the way—but fans flocked to see him play golf primarily for one reason: he hit the ball “Bubba Long.” If you haven’t seen him in person, I can tell you from watching him...

The PGA Tour is set to make its next stop on the road to the The Players Championship and eventually the US Open as a strong field will do battle in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana. Many of the world’s top players are set to compete and it should make for a tightly-contested tournament.
