The brackets in any sporting event where matches are played seldom deliver their potential, but in the case of the WGC Accenture Match Play event, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy could meet head-on in a final match. This year’s event runs from February 20-24 in Marana, Ariz. The stars would have to align. They would have to both run the brackets of all other players in their half of the draw. But...

Considering he finished in a tie for 16th after starting off with rounds of 69 and 66 in the Northern Trust Open, Donald can’t be pleased with that, and I’m among those who wasn’t impressed. Yes, this was his first start of the new year, and there had to be some rustiness, but this wasn’t the Luke Donald we’ve come to appreciate. Here’s a breakdown of how Donald,...

The Northern Trust Open provided yet another thrilling finish. Local boy John Merrick beat Charlie Beljan in the second sudden-death hole at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., on Sunday to earn his first PGA win. Merrick won the playoff after sinking a five-foot par putt while Beljan missed his four-foot effort to match him. The playoff wasn’t the only aspect...

I compare the current trend toward pay drivers to a conflict between big, tough guys and slightly built intellectuals. Let’s say there’s a discussion among a few guys around a poker table. One guy, a huge slugger, mutters, “War and famine are good for all of society.” A lean, diminutive man on the other side of the table responds, “War is a terrible thing, and only peace...

The final round of the 2013 SAP Open will pin fourth-seeded Tommy Haas against the favorite and No. 1-seeded Milos Raonic on Sunday night. After ousting John Isner (6-3, 6-4) in the semifinals, the German-born Haas advanced to his first final in six months while Raonic made easy work of Sam Querrey (6-4, 6-2) to reach his third final in three years at the event (via ESPN). In fact, Raonic is the two-time...

Tiger Woods has not attended the Northern Trust Open since 2006. So despite calls from tournament director and NBA legend Jerry West, it was unlikely that Woods would return to Riviera this year. However, even if Woods had been contemplating a return to Riviera for the first time in six years, he had a pretty legitimate conflict that he simply could not walk away from this weekend. After all, it’s...

Being President of the United States certainly has its perks. On Sunday, President Barack Obama will play a round of golf with Tiger Woods. Tim Rosaforte of Golf Digest first reported the news on Twitter that the two will play at The Floridian: The 44th president of the United States will probably struggle to keep up on the links with the 14-time major champion, but it should be a great event nonetheless. Obama...

Rafael Nadal conquered David Nalbandian 6-2, 6-3, to win the 2013 Brazil Open on Sunday, making it his first title since returning from a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee (h/t Sky Sports). It almost seems that Nadal’s seven months away from the game of tennis was a brilliant ploy all along. Nadal made it to the final by defeating Argentine Martin Alund, 6-3, 6-7 (2),...

Victoria Azarenka may have lost her No. 1 ranking, but the Belarusian star did bag her 16th career title by defeating Serena Williams in the final at the 2013 Qatar Open to win the tournament. Despite losing to Azarenka, Williams seized the No. 1 ranking simply by advancing to the final, but Azarenka put an end to the American legend’s dominance and won her first match in 10 tries...
