What Roger Federer’s Performance in Dubai Means for Rest of the Season

The aging process has not always been kind to Roger Federer, but an auspicious start to 2014 has produced a version of the Swiss more characteristic of yesteryear than last year.  For the 17-time Grand Slam champion, Federer’s 2013 season left something to be desired, but with a back injury that hampered him for much of last season gone, the Swiss headed into 2014 better rested, better prepared... 

Power Ranking the Formula 1 Teams After Final Bahrain Preseason Test

Formula One’s 2014 preseason testing ended on Sunday at the Bahrain International Circuit. The teams now head halfway across the world to Australia for the opening race of season. A recurring theme of this winter has been the assertion that no team knows exactly where they are in relation to their rivals. For some, this is no doubt true; for others, it’s a little bit of a fib. Felipe Massa’s... 

What Has Preseason Testing Told Us About the 2014 Formula 1 Rookies?

When the 2014 Formula One season begins in two weeks in Australia, there will be three rookie drivers on the grid. Although each had some experience in an F1 cockpit prior to this year, the three preseason tests in Spain and Bahrain were their first opportunities for extensive running. Speaking to the official F1 website after the first test, one of the rookies, McLaren’s Kevin Magnussen, said,... 

Rory McIlroy’s Struggles on Final Day of Honda Classic Aren’t Cause for Concern

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Rory McIlroy blew a lead down the stretch. Going into the final day of the 2014 Honda Classic, the 24-year-old sat atop the leaderboard. Things started well enough, with a birdie on No. 3. Then things began to unravel. Slowly but surely his lead withered away, and the meltdown reached critical mass as he double-bogeyed No. 16 and bogeyed 17. A birdie on the... 

2014 WGC-Cadillac Championship: Top 10 Players to Watch at Trump Doral

The PGA Tour makes its second stop on the “Florida Swing” at Trump Doral for the WGC-Cadillac. Although this is not a major championship, it will have a major tournament feel as only the best players in the world are invited to this no-cut event.

Roger Federer, Grigor Dimitrov and Winners and Losers of the Week in Tennis

Roger Federer made front-page news with wins over Novak Djokovic and Tomas Berdych on his way to claiming the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Champions. Down in Acapulco, Mexico, Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov showed his grit for tiebreakers as he outlasted hot Ernests Gulbis and Andy Murray on his way to the title. Is this only the beginning of his rapid rise to the top of the tennis world? There were also casualties... 

What Does Tiger Woods’ Back Injury Mean for His 2014 Season?

Even before Tiger Woods withdrew from the Honda Classic on his back nine Sunday afternoon, my view of his 2014 season was not all that cheery. Yes, he was coming off a five-win season in 2013, and yes, his main goal during the offseason was to rest that 38-year-old body so that he’d be ready for the rigors of 16 to 18 tournaments he’d most likely play in 2014. How’s that working... 

Rory McIlroy’s Comeback on Hold After Final-Round Collapse at 2014 Honda Classic

The Honda Classic is where most golfers begin their road to Augusta and the Masters in earnest, and it looked as if Rory McIlroy was in cruise control as Sunday’s fourth round began. But 19 holes later he was upside down in a ditch, leaking oil and wondering how he had taken so many wrong turns on the PGA National course he had owned for three days. This wasn’t a case of guys named Phil... 

Honda Classic 2014: Biggest Storylines from Palm Beach Gardens

It’s clearly the Year of Russell.  Following in the footsteps of a certain Super Bowl winning quarterback by the same name, 24-year-old Russell Henley kept cool under pressure on Sunday, defeating Russell Knox, Rory McIlroy and Ryan Palmer in a four-man playoff at PGA National to win the Honda Classic.  With many of the top-ranked golfers in the world competing in Palm Beach Gardens... 

Honda Classic 2014: The Biggest Winners and Losers from Palm Beach Gardens

It took a four-way playoff to settle the 2014 Honda Classic, but it was 24-year-old Russell Henley who emerged victorious for his second PGA tour win. Henley beat out Rory McIlroy, Ryan Palmer and Russell Knox by birdying the first playoff hole. But all eyes were on McIlroy, who played great for three-and-a-half rounds, then collapsed in a way that dredged up his implosion at the 2011 Masters. After...
