His ball landed softly on the edge of the green and began to trickle down the slope. It ambled along until, on its last breath, it tumbled into the cup. Watching intently, Tiger Woods bobbed to his left and unleashed a steady stream of his trademark fist pumps. He probably didn’t hear the crowd erupt around him in jubilation. Woods’...

For the first time in young Rory McIlroy’s career, it is not all going according to plan. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland has missed the cut his last three times out, including this past week at The Memorial in Dublin, Ohio. After Tiger Woods’ come from behind win this weekend, one could get the sense that we have taken a time machine back to 2007 again and golf is Tiger and...

Tiger Woods‘ come-from-behind victory at this year’s Memorial Championship was reminiscent of days past, when Sundays belonged to the undisputed king of the PGA Tour. The way he crushed his competition on the back nine in such a high-profile event shows that it won’t be long until Woods reclaims his throne. His win at the Memorial—the 73rd of his career—tied Jack...

In a tournament that Jack Nicklaus hosts and on a course that he designed, Tiger Woods won his 73rd PGA tournament yesterday at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, tying him with Nicklaus for second on the all-time wins list. (They trail Sam Snead who had 82 victories). Woods shot a five-under-par 67 to win by two shots over Rory Sabbatini and Andres Romero. For Sabbatini, it was the second time...

Tiger Woods has now won the Memorial Tournament five times in his career, but Sunday’s was the most meaningless of them all. Sure, Tiger tied the legendary Jack Nicklaus’ 73 all-time wins. Yes, it was Tiger’s second win in less than three full months. And yes, he had to come from behind and rally to actually make it happen. All in all, Tiger looked like the old Tiger again—fist...

Tiger Woods took another step into golfing immortality yesterday with career win No. 73 to tie Jack Nicklaus on the all-time PGA Tour wins list. Jack Nicklaus did not get PGA Tour win No. 73 until the age of 46, although it was his sixth Masters win, Tiger is only 36. Sam Snead is next on the list for Tiger with 82 official career wins. Sam would argue with you that he had a dozen or so more wins that...

A red shirt, a fist pump and a trophy. Despite his “transgressions” and everything that’s come since to stain his legacy, that’s how the Tiger Woods story will be told to our grandchildren. Woods brought it back to life on Sunday—with a swashbuckling, come-from-behind triumph at the Memorial that tells us his history-making is not yet resigned to history. Not by a long...

On Sunday, he was the Tiger Woods of old. He was fist-pumping after big shots (and, for once, there were big shots), he was jovial with the media, he was smiling and making jokes, telling them he wasn’t necessarily the Tiger of old but he certainly felt older. And Tiger was right about that one thing—he’s not the Tiger Woods of old. Not yet. We learned one important thing from...
