The Signature Victory in the Career of Golf’s Top Stars

There are probably several ways to define a signature win for a professional golfer, but I think the most simple definition might be the victory that stamped the player as something special. Tiger Woods won the 1997 Masters by a dozen shots, but I don’t rate that as his signature win. Phil Mickelson won the 2013 British Open, but I don’t think that was his signature. Adam Scott won the... 

Meet Seung-Yul Noh, Latest Member of the PGA Tour’s Unstoppable Youth Movement

By winning the Zurich Classic, 22-year-old Seung-Yul Noh taught us it is not so much what’s in a name, but what’s in your game, if you are going to succeed on the pro tour. Noh’s name is ripe for the picking among punsters.  In fact, the highly regarded golf coach Sean Foley, while pronouncing the young star’s name correctly, also lauded his budding talent when he...

Lydia Ko won her first tour event as an LPGA member at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic and will move to No. 2 in the world. She just turned 17 years old on Thursday, and the $270,000 winner’s check is a nice birthday gift to herself.

Vujadin Boskov: The Simple Genius

Vujadin Boskov loved to talk. Educated to be a professor of history and geography, Boskov would often gather friends, players or even journalists, buy them a dinner and discuss anything that would cross his mind. The man was an interesting character—a sort of prankster and eccentric, a showman. But, when it came to football, Boskov was the simple man. “I don’t understand why some... 

Ayrton Senna, 20 Years On: How Brazilian Inspires Next Generation of F1 Stars

The Toro Rosso star, enjoying his maiden season in Formula One this year, is among the first of a new wave of drivers with no memories of the three-time world champion to share. The sport is reaching something of a crossover point, where its competitors will no longer instantly reply with the one-word answer,...

When Roland Ratzenberger was killed during qualifying for the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, he became the first Formula One driver to die during a grand prix weekend since Riccardo Paletti at the 1982 Canadian Grand Prix. The next day, during the race itself, Ayrton Senna was also killed. Although Senna and Ratzenberger were born less than four months apart, their career paths were completely different. For...
