Rory Mcllroy’s Golf Club Change Brings a Vortex of Doubt

The heartbeat of the unknown. Rory Mcllroy‘s decision to climb aboard the Nike logo brings a familiar collective gasp from the gallery. Much like his tee shot on the 10th tee in the final round of the 2011 Masters, it has brought a “What have you done, Rory?” With the decision comes some unbridled expectations that can’t be answered in a swift stroke of the pen, like on a check... 

Rory McIlroy on the Defensive at Honda Classic and Rest of 2013

Rory McIlroy is the defending champion at this week’s Honda Classic, but he will need to become familiar with being defensive, because it is looking like he will have to defend most of his actions in 2013. McIlroy has had a disappointing start to the year and making the switch to a Nike set complicates the tone for the rest of 2013. Making a single club change provides a set of challenges for... 

Why Rory McIlroy Is Making a Mistake by Delaying His 2013 PGA Tour Debut

Technically, Rory McIlroy made his 2013 PGA tour debut when he competed in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship last week. That appearance lasted just one round, as the top player in the world was defeated by Shane Lowry in the first round. That’s one of the facts of life about match play. If you can’t keep winning, you are sent home swiftly. McIlroy finally makes his return to a 72-hole... 

Roger Federer: Projecting How Fed Will Fare at 2013 Dubai Tennis Championships

Rafael Nadal Reportedly Will Skip Hard-Court Events in March Due to Knee Concern

Although men’s tennis superstar Rafael Nadal returned to action in February, he’s clearly not 100 percent. According to the Madrid sports daily Marca via The Times of India, Nadal will skip both of March’s ATP World Tour Masters Series tournaments in the United States. The two events in Miami and Indian Wells are both played on hard courts. Nadal, 26, returned on Feb. 5 from... 

Rafael Nadal: Previewing His Tricky Draw at the 2013 Mexican Open

It goes without saying that Horacio Zeballos‘ win over Spanish sensation Rafael Nadal on the clay courts of the VTR Open in Chile two weeks ago was not the expected outcome. Rafa, arguably the greatest clay-court player of all time, was a step slower throughout that tournament, and rightly so. After all, it had been only his first event back on tour in more than seven months away from... 

Steve McClaren Leaves FC Twente, but Where Does He Go from Here?

Steve McClaren parted company with FC Twente Tuesday morning after his second spell in charge of the Dutch club, as reported by Sky Sports. The former England boss rejoined the Eredivisie side in January 2012 but has been unable to recreate the success of his first spell in charge.

5 Big-Name Brazilians Who Fell Short in the Premier League

For a long time it was considered an almost impossible task. Brazilians had attempted to crack the English game, but many had fallen by the wayside in their attempts. It has since been proven, of course, that such comments bare little relevance to the reality of the situation. Brazilians can and have excelled in the Premier League, it’s just that there have been some big-name casualties lost... 

14 USMNT Players Who Can Fill In for Landon Donovan Against Costa Rica

After starting off the hexagonal round of qualifying with a 2-1 away loss to Honduras, the USMNT must take full advantage of its next match—a home qualifier against Costa Rica on March 22. One of the biggest questions for the U.S. since Jurgen Klinsmann took over the squad 18 months ago is who to deploy on the wings, especially since Landon Donovan has played only eight of Klinsmann’s 22... 

Tennis Great Peter Fleming Talks Bryan Brothers, Federer and McEnroe Memories

With the rare Davis Cup loss suffered by the Bryan Brothers earlier this month to the Brazilian team of Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares, it’s a good excuse to take a step back and evaluate the current state of doubles—among other tennis related topics. As masterful a doubles player as McEnroe was and still is, he had help, and his name was Peter Fleming. Fleming famously once said, “the...
