Citing ongoing pain and spasms in his back, Tiger Woods officially withdrew from the 2014 Arnold Palmer Invitational on Tuesday, the world No. 1 announced in a statement released on his official website. Woods, 38, has been dealing with back problems dating to last year’s FedEx Cup. While he was able to play through the pain and entered the 2014 season seemingly primed for another crack at his...

There was a roar emanating from Melbourne last weekend, but it was not coming from the Formula One cars tearing around Albert Park. Rather, it was the sound of the media, fans, race organisers and even F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone complaining about the lack of noise made by the new hybrid F1 power units. (We are not supposed to call them “engines” anymore.) I do not think this criticism is...

Beleaguered by a bad back and mired in a slump, Tiger Woods enters the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill with a serious agenda to illustrate his ability, both physically and mentally, to win a major this year. As the Masters approaches, Tiger has to quickly straighten out his game as well as his back after poor results in his last three events. Coming out of 2013 with five wins and the No. 1 ranking...

For the first time since the summer of 2013, there was no shortage of choices for Driver of the Day in the immediate aftermath of a Formula One race. In truth, any number of drivers—Daniel Ricciardo, Kevin Magnussen, Nico Rosberg, Valtteri Bottas and Daniil Kvyat—could have left the Australian Grand Prix with the unofficial award, proving how promising the sport’s talent pool remains...

Anything that has Arnold Palmer’s name associated with it is something special just because of whom Palmer is in the game of golf. And that’s why his tournament, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Fla., has become such a special event as Palmer advances in age. Just like players used to do when they played in the tournament named after Byron Nelson...

There were plenty of brilliant individual displays in this year’s Six Nations, with the 16-strong short list for official player of the tournament proving how many outstanding performances there were. But these 10 are also about those who stepped it up a notch. Those who have not made this final 10, while performing at a high level, merely confirmed how good we know they are rather than move...

The 2014 Miami Sony Open should sort out the mix-bag of results produced on the WTA Tour so far this season. The Australian Open, the first Grand Slam, comes and goes so quickly it’s rarely a true barometer for the rest of the season. Because Serena Williams, the tour’s best player, skips Indian Wells, that tournament loses its luster as a prelude for things to come. However, the...

Antonio Cassano knows where he wants to be this summer. He spent the last one relaxing on a beach (source in Italian) with his wife Carolina and their two sons Christopher and Lionel, but this year he has grander ambitions in mind. The Parma forward has his heart set on a trip to Brazil, where he hopes to make his first-ever World Cup appearance for Italy, per Gazzetta dello Sport (in...

Brazil have wrapped up their friendly programme prior to their World Cup squad announcement on May 7. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari now appears to have a firm idea of the ins and outs after a year of friendly auditions, not to mention a Confederations Cup title, since he took over from Mano Menezes. The approach of the two managers differs in one significant way. During his reign, Menezes was insistent...
