Predicting Risers and Fallers in Golf During 2013

As is trying to play the stock market, trying to pick whose stock will rise and whose will fall on the PGA Tour in 2013 requires a bit of guesswork.

Will 2013 Be the Year Luke Donald Finally Wins a Major?

Luke Donald is a regular fixture among golf’s leaders. Donald was the No. 1 money winner on the PGA Tour in 2011 with nearly $6.8 million in earnings.

It seems like a perfect time to peek into the crystal ball one last time and predict who is on the short list of players to be the breakout star on tour in 2013.

Serena Williams Will Go Down in History as the Best Female Player of All Time

Many people will disagree with this statement, and I can see the reasons why. In terms of career statistics and Grand Slam wins, she still has some way to go before she can overhaul the likes of Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert.
