Tiger Woods shot an even-par 70 to win the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday. While it was the eighth time he has emerged victorious at Firestone Country Club, never before had he gotten to share it so publicly with his son Charlie.

With little more than two years until the next Rugby World Cup, Lancaster knows the clock is ticking on his plans to build a side capable of lifting the Webb Ellis Trophy. England reached the final in 1991, the last time they hosted the tournament, but Lancaster...

What do Fernando Alonso and Cesc Fabregas have in common? Aside from the fact they’re both Spanish and two of the best in the world at their respective sports, both men have recently been linked with moves from one big team to another. And although it’s certainly true that their respective agents for Ferrari and Barcelona FC have been in discussions with Red Bull Racing and Manchester United...

With less than a fortnight to go until one of the most anticipated rugby events of any year gets underway, attention now turns to just who will come out on top of the Rugby Championship. Last year saw New Zealand dominate the field, which included an Argentina side entering into the Southern Hemisphere competition for the first time.

We’re entering Formula 1’s ‘silly season’, a time when most drivers get linked to most seats and speculation mounts about who will be on the F1 grid in 2014. Now is an era when even more rides on performance than before—the threat of another driver who brings a budget is more real than ever among the midfield teams. It’s unfair to suggest the drivers in this list...

With the commencement of August, world football’s offseason is coming to a close, shifting the focus from international competitions to the clubs. It has been a busy summer for many of the world’s most prestigious national teams.

As the modern game of tennis becomes more technologically advanced, players must adapt to more vicious serves. These serves are the results of strength, height and quick action in the arms of the top athletes. This list of powerful servers is mainly based on power and the angle at which the ball picks up off the court, but it also considers precision and spot serving. Sadly, I had to leave a few incredibly...

This week saw eight of the top 20 players in the world descend upon Southern California and prepare for battle at the Southern California Open. While there were far less headlines than at last month’s Wimbledon, Carlsbad provided valuable insight as to which underdogs are shining, how some of the top players are faring and what to expect at this week’s Rogers Cup and this month’s U.S....

It’s been a long time coming. Australian Samantha Stosur captured the title at the Southern California Open in Carlsbad over the weekend, defeating this year’s Australian Open winner, Victoria Azarenka, in the finals. It was her first win over Azarenka, as well as her first singles title since the U.S. Open back in 2011. With this victory—which is only her fourth career singles title—Stosur...

The 2013 U.S. Open is a few weeks away, and we’re still befuddled by that wacky Wimbledon. Could the U.S. Open produce anything close to the wild and weird results at Wimbledon? Probably. After all, it’s New York and that alone increases the likelihood that something outrageous will happen. I suspect that the whacked-out Wimbledon will contribute to an upsetting U.S. Open. That’s...
