After a three-week break to get over the trip to Canada, the British Grand Prix will take place on 30 June at the Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire, England. This event is the oldest of the World Championship era. The first race of the inaugural Formula One World Championship was held here in 1950, and there has been a British Grand Prix every year since. In the days of Michael Schumacher-dominated...

To be perfectly honest, I thought that Phil Mickelson‘s window had already been closed and bolted prior to the U.S. Open. I thought Mickelson’s best chance was 2006 at Winged Foot when he stubbornly and foolishly launched his driver off the roof of a hospitality tent on the 18th tee that led to a calamity of errors and another missed U.S. Open possibility. But when he unexpectedly played...

A fortuitous Kurtley Beale slip let the Lions off the hook last Saturday, allowing them to sneak a 23-21 victory in a game they almost let slip away from them. Knowing that the Wallabies are likely to get better as the series goes on, while the exploits of a long season begin to wear on the Lions, victory this weekend is paramount. With momentum on their side the Lions have not rested on their laurels,...

The AT&T National is a unique stop on the PGA Tour, as it is hosted by living legend Tiger Woods and benefits his foundation. Woods himself isn’t in the field this week, withdrawing due to a strained left elbow that plagued him at the U.S. Open. The world No. 1 and defending champion of this event won’t be back in action until the next major, the British Open, according to his official...

The early odds are in and the usual suspects reign as favorites to win The British Open at Scotland’s Muirfield Country Club the weekend of July 18-21. But, the odds don’t always tell the story. Adam Scott’s nerves got the better of him last year, giving up a seven shot lead that ultimately led to a second Open Championship win for Ernie Els who was a 30-to-1 shot. Playing the 7,200...

The sixth edition of the Rugby World Cup Sevens is set to take place in Moscow, and there is no shortage of contenders on both the men’s and women’s side of things. Sevens is a fast-paced form of rugby that breeds excitement, so even non-rugby fans should enjoy this tournament.

The 68th U.S. Women’s Open will be held this week at Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. Na Yeon Choi will defend her title. She collected her first major victory at the 2012 U.S. Women’s Open at Blackwolf Run. Tom Doak and Jack Nicklaus, who designed the course at Sebonack Golf Club, normally approach golf course design from two completely different views, but they incorporated their...

I can vividly remember the conversation, although it’s been many years now. Sitting down to lunch with Bud Martin, a high-powered, Pittsburgh-based player agent whose stable includes John Daly, Rickie Fowler and Jason Day, the conversation to the then very young Day. “Watch out for this kid, he’s the real deal,” Martin said. That description was certainly right on the mark,...

Queensland scored a convincing 26-6 victory over New South Wales in Game 2 of this year’s State of Origin series. The Maroons will look to stretch their series winning streak to eight next month. The Maroons got off to a perfect start. Sam Thaiday took a pass from Cooper Cronk and bulldozed his way over the line in just the second minute of play. After a conversion by Johnathan Thurston it was...

The Irish Open is one of the marquee events on the European Tour schedule, and the 2013 version boasts plenty of star power and storylines that should make it another phenomenal tournament. Past British Open champion and recent Ryder Cup member Paul Lawrie regards it as one of his favorite stops on the schedule: Headlining the field is world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who surprisingly still has not won this...
