McIlroy Not 1st nor Last to Walk off Golf Course During Round

Call him temperamental. Say his Irish is showing. But don’t accuse McIlroy of being the only world-class golfer to leave a golf course mid-round or mid-tournament, whether out of frustration or injury. Or even toothache. Tiger Woods withdrew from The Players on the sixth hole with neck problems. It was probably the media’s fault. Goodness knows we are a pain in a lot of body parts. He also...

Roger Federer: Tennis Fans Appreciate His Artistry as Much as His Winning

Roger Federer can still win Grand Slam titles. He is the No. 2 player in the world, the Wimbledon champion and has been a near lock for the semifinals the past decade.

WGC Cadillac Championship: Players to Watch

The Blue Monster Course at Doral is one of the most iconic courses on the PGA Tour. Highlighted by its signature 18th hole, Doral provides players with many risk-reward opportunities throughout the round. Although there are birdies to be had, with the strong winds and numerous water hazards, there is trouble lurking around every corner. The excitement generated on this track is why the course is a... 

Tiger Woods’ Lackluster Play at Honda Classic Doesn’t Diminish Masters Chances

At first glance, Tiger Woods‘ week at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach, Fla. was a disaster. He fired three even-par 70s to start the tourney and then finished with a 74 on Sunday.  This left Tiger at four-over for the tournament and tied for 37th—a full 13 strokes behind eventual winner Michael Thompson.  However, on deeper inspection, there is very little cause for concern over... 

The Top 10 African Players in the History of the German Bundesliga

Winners and Losers from the Honda Classic

The Honda Classic is not a major, but it is one of the most important tournaments of the young golf season.

The PGA National Champion Course at Palm Beach Gardens is one of the most challenging courses... 

Rafael Nadal: Hard Courts at Indian Wells Will Be Biggest Test for Spanish Great

After winning in Acapulco, Rafael Nadal‘s 2013 season couldn’t be going any better. The 11-time Grand Slam singles champion missed the second half of 2012 due to tendinitis in his knee, but he’s gone 12-1 in 2013, so far. He also won the Brasil Open in mid-February. But the biggest test for the 26-year-old Spanish great early this year will be at Indian Wells. Nadal’s victory... 

Tiger Woods’ Poor Final Round at Honda Classic Is Major Concern for 2013 Season

Tiger Woods, once a colossus in the final round, looks to have lost his edge when it matters the most. Coming into the final round of the 2013 Honda Classic, Woods sat at even par. He finished at four over after shooting 74 over the final 18 holes. The back nine in particular was poor from Woods, as he recorded three bogeys and a double-bogey. It wasn’t the kind of result that he wanted after... 

Tiger Woods at Honda Classic 2013: Day 4 Analysis, Highlights and More

Every time Tiger Woods looks like he is about to take over the sport of golf, he takes a step back. The inconsistency was once again on display on Day 4 of the Honda Classic. After winning the Farmers Insurance Open in his first tournament of 2013, many were excited to see an extended period of dominance from the 14-time major champion. Unfortunately, he followed that up with a first-round loss at...
