Novak Djokovic‘s unbeaten streak lived on with him winning his fourth Dubai Championships title, and it’s going to reach new heights next week when he visits Indian Wells. The No. 1 player in the world, 25-year-old Djokovic won at Indian Wells in 2008 and 2011. In 2007, he finished as the runner-up to champion Rafael Nadal. This year, Djokovic is in a position to dominate the tournament....

Whether you like it or not, Roger Federer is still the world’s second-ranked tennis player. Despite being upset by Tomas Berdych in the Dubai Tennis Championships, 3-6, 7-6 (8), 6-4, Federer is still one of the world’s greatest tennis players, thus making his early departure from Dubai insignificant. For one, Berdych is also one of the top competitors in the sport. He currently...

Since Rory McIlroy won the U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club in 2011, the Northern Ireland native has gradually become the darling of the PGA tour. Nobody really thinks that the soft-spoken 23-year-old will ever catch Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus in terms of majors, but at least for the time being, McIlroy appears to be the only man on the tour who could one day challenge Tiger in...

Nadal has cruised through the first few rounds in Acapulco, not dropping a single set through four matches.

Rory McIlroy walked off PGA National during Friday’s second round of the Honda Classic after playing just eight of his first nine holes. He was seven-over par at the time and had hit his second shot on No. 18 into the water bordering the right side of the fairway. He was staring certain bogey or worse straight in the face, which would have given him a 43 or 44 on the scorecard for his first nine...

In some sense, the developing “Toothachegate” saga is much ado about very little. However, when the No. 1 golfer in the world walks off the course under somewhat suspicious circumstances, rampant speculation is the predictable result. Do we, the ever-critical golfing public, give McIlroy a pass for his post hoc story about his “sore wisdom tooth” and being “unable to concentrate?” In...

The 2013 Honda Classic rolled on during Friday’s second round and drastic changes were made on the leaderboard. Camilo Villegas was the leader after Thursday’s action, but he was an entirely different player in the second round. He was seven over on Friday and did not make the cut. Luke Guthrie took over the top spot after shooting a 63, which is the lowest single-round...

Tiger Woods is going to need a little vintage Tiger magic if he wants to get back in the thick of things at the 2013 Honda Classic. Rounds 1 and 2 weren’t kind to Woods as he struggled to stay on the right side of par and barely qualified to continue playing through the weekend. After shooting 70 in back-to-back rounds, Woods made the cut by just one stroke. However, it’s not how...

Defending tournament champion Rory McIlroy is out, and Tiger Woods is, well, still alive at the 2013 Honda Classic, despite barely making the cut. Americans Luke Guthrie (-9) and Michael Thompson (-8) lead the pack of players who survived Friday’s cut at even. But with the first two rounds at the PGA National Golf Club in the books, it’s time we take a look forward at some contenders fans...
