Murray was a top-four player on the men’s circuit for years, but he was always missing that elusive major. All the pain and anguish, not to mention the doubt, evaporated when the 25-year-old defeated Novak Djokovic in the final of the 2012 U.S. Open. To start 2013, Murray...

Roger Federer’s best days may be behind him, but he’s far from finished. Federer bowed out of the Australian Open short of the finals each of the last two years, and this year’s tournament may be his best chance to prove he still has what it takes to compete with the best players in the world.

To McIlroy’s bank account it does, but to the golf world,...
