As might be expected, Tiger Woods is the oddsmakers’ favorite at 5-2 to win his fifth Masters Tournament. However, Dustin Johnson headlines several likely contenders who should challenge for the green jacket despite odds of victory set at 28-1 or worse as of Friday. Woods has won his past two starts on the PGA Tour, so it makes sense that arguably the greatest golfer of all time has the prohibitive...

The amateurs competing in the Masters this year are Alan Dunbar, Steven Fox, Tianlang Guan, Nathan Smith, T.J....

The LPGA Tour is holding the first major championship of the 2013 season this week in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The old Dinah Shore started in 1972 and has been a major since 1983.

She made 18 cuts in 21 starts in 2012, earned $217,000...

Tiger Woods‘ recent resurgence has put him atop the world rankings once again, but he will not be able to convert the momentum into a fifth green jacket at the 2013 Masters. Two consecutive PGA Tour titles are certainly an encouraging sign for the living legend, as is the extraordinary putting that has been the driving force behind his back-to-back triumphs. Time and time again, though, the major...

Last weekend, Landon Donovan finally returned from his four-month, self-imposed sabbatical from soccer and rejoined the L.A. Galaxy. Despite the long layoff and only a couple of days of training with the team, Donovan played straight away in the Galaxy’s 2-2 away draw to Toronto FC, coming into the match as a 61st-minute substitute. Several days earlier, as he began training with the Galaxy,...

Six-time Grand Slam champion and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic is in Boise, Idaho, this weekend, as he and team Serbia face off against team USA in the Davis Cup quarterfinals. Simply put, the U.S. has their work cut out for them. The last time these two teams met was back in 2010 in Belgrade, where Serbia won and went on to win the Davis Cup later that year. Team USA is looking to reach the semifinals...

Tiger Woods will be favored to win the 2013 Masters, but don’t count out Jason Day. Day isn’t the only sleeper with a chance to make a surprise charge up the leaderboard over the weekend and win at Augusta National, either. While guys like Woods and Phil Mickelson win majors more often than their lesser-known peers, watching men like Zach Johnson and Charl Schwartzel shock...

Matt Bettencourt and Peter Tomasula set the pace for the field with a five-under 67 at the Valero Texas Open as the PGA Tour makes its final stop before next week’s Masters. There was a breeze at the par-72 TPC San Antonio course and it was cold for the morning group, but conditions improved as the day advanced. This all set up for a tightly packed leaderboard. Take a look at that...

It’s been a long time since Tiger Woods was truly feared on the PGA Tour, but should he win the Masters in 2013, the fear of Tiger will return. Woods is back—of that there’s no doubt. Once the most intimidating figure in golf, he’s entered five PGA Tour events this season, winning three. No other golfer on tour has won more than a single tournament this year, and...
