15 Most Disastrous Major Golf Tournament Performances of All Time

With the greatest of tournaments comes the greatest of pressure. More people watching means more people there to see you fail. An optimistic attitude and a steely reserve can do a player wonders, but even the best of them get tripped up under the spotlight of a major championship. That is the ultimate cruelty: at any point, to any player, the heat of the moment in a major can strike them down. This... 

Who Are the Best Emerging Players in Golf?

On the PGA Tour today, the list of emerging players is enormous, but who are the best? Opinions come from all directions and are all over the map. We have seen many golfers over the past couple of years who seem to have come out of nowhere, and yet somehow became champions. There are many golfers today that are capable of greatness, but few will actually make it to that level.  The golfers on... 

10 Golfers Who Could Pull off a ‘Webb Simpson’ at the British Open

Golf is a game where great achievements are widely praised but quickly get forgotten. It is a sport that offers frustratingly little consistency (unless you’re playing poorly), and players at the top of the media’s radar one day can soon tumble far down the list. Want an example? This year’s U.S. Open champion offers a prime one. In 2011, Webb Simpson put together an incredible breakout... 

Rickie Fowler and the 5 Young Guns Ready to Win a Major Championship

The wealth of young talent in professional golf today makes me think the future of the game is in good hands. Rory McIlroy, Charl Schwartzel, Louis Oosthuizen, Keegan Bradley and Webb Simpson. These players aren’t even in the prime of their careers yet, and they have already won major championships—McIlroy at the 2011 U.S. Open, Schwartzel at the 2011 Masters, Oosthuizen at the 2010 British... 

10 Courses That Should Be Added as Major Championship Venues

The major championships in professional golf undoubtedly provide the biggest stage for both the golfers and fans.  Golfers are faced with added pressure along with a course that is among the most difficult they will play all season.  There is much greater interest to the casual fan, as the majors will attract crowds and television audiences unmatched by other tournaments. Naturally one would... 

Fernando Alonso Wins Epic Valencia F1 Grand Prix: Maldonado Disgraced Again

In another staggering example of how this new season has turned our expectations of Formula One on their heads, the world’s most boring and uninspiring track—Valencia—has produced arguably the race of the season, with drama and excitement from start to checkered flag. Even more strangely, Fernando Alonso became the first driver to secure a second victory this season. Not that he isn’t... 

Why Golf Needs Rory McIlroy to Rediscover His Form

There is no denying it, golf is better with the reign of dominant players, which is why Rory McIlroy needs to rediscover the form he showed in the 2011 US Open.  Golf‘s history is versed through two things: how players perform at majors and the legends that manage to win multiple of them. This is why the names of Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan are tossed around with such reverence.... 

5 Things to Make Golf Better for Casual Fans

While the game of golf is probably more popular now than it has ever been before, the sport still suffers from the perception of being elitist. When Tiger Woods is on the prowl then casual fans tune in.
