Tiger Woods hasn’t exactly had an ideal start to 2013. A nightmarish beginning at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship was compounded by a two-stroke penalty and a critical bogey late, which resulted in Woods struggling to a 3-over-par 75 in Round 2. He ended up missing the cut by one shot. In what was meant to be a highly anticipated showdown with Tiger and current world...

He even left the new Nike Method putter in the locker room and went back to his old Titleist Scotty Cameron for Friday’s round. Woods was assessed a two-shot penalty after his round on Friday for taking...

There’s no beating around the bush when it comes to Bernard Tomic’s recent attitude towards his fellow tennis contemporaries at the 2013 Australian Open; bold, brash, and ostensibly confident. Over the course of the past couple of days, his demeanor towards his highly anticipated third round encounter against World No. 2 Roger Federer on Saturday night in Melbourne has become comparable...

On a day where there was only one match that didn’t feature a seeded player, the amount of intrigue at the 2013 Australian Open was low. Maria Sharapova crushed Venus Williams in Day 5’s most talked-about match, and her fellow top seeds followed suit. When Stanislas Wawrinka eliminated Sam Querrey, it brought an end to the slim hope that an American man would make a deep run. It illustrates...

It’s only appropriate that Rafael Nadal is making his return to the clay at the Chilean Open. He was originally believed to be returning at the Brazil Open on Feb. 11. Instead, he has moved the return date up one week, to the Chilean Open (h/t ESPN, via The Associated Press). Sometimes, it seems that the Spaniard was born on clay, considering his dominance on the surface. He’s won seven...

Roger Federer will get his first test at the 2013 Australian Open from third-round opponent Bernard Tomic, but the 20-year-old Australian isn’t quite ready to handle Fed. In three previous meetings, Federer has bested the up-and-comer with little-to-no difficulty. Tomic has only managed to capture one set in those matches dating back to March 2011, when they first met during Davis Cup competition....

Much has been made about Rory McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, and his switch in equipment from Titleist to Nike. He had a spectacular 2012, and switching clubs after such a year has been debated around the world. It will take some time to determine just how successful and/or wise that move was, but all the evidence seems to indicate it won’t be a major issue. Here are five ways his game...

Once upon a time, David Duval was the best golfer in the world. Between 1997 and 1999, Duval won 11 times on the PGA Tour. During that 1999 season, Duval shot a 59 at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in the final round to win it and won the Players Championship. Probably the closest player to actually match Tiger Woods win-for-win, Duval won his first major at the 2001 Open Championship. Just shy of his...
