Why WGC-Bridgestone 2014 Is the Perfect Tuneup for Tiger Woods

If Tiger Woods was a car, he would be more like a beat-up jalopy than the high-flying Testarossa he once was. When people tune in to watch him now, it is not so much to see if he will win as it is to see when he will crash.  The WGC-Bridgestone, where he has won a remarkable eight times, provides the perfect opportunity for the 38-year-old Tiger to clear off some of the rust that has... 

PGA Championship 2014: Golfers with Games Ideally Suited for Valhalla

Selecting the Greatest All-Time South Africa XV

South African rugby has a rich history full of wonderful players. The current crop may be some distance off world No. 1 New Zealand, but it has not always been the case. In truth, the rugby landscape may well look markedly different if the Springboks had not been cast into sporting purgatory during the Apartheid years that saw many of their great players collect so few caps. There was no South African... 

Brazil Clubs’ Quickfire Attitude to Coaching Hinders Long-Term Planning

On Sunday evening, Enderson Moreira was removed (link in Portuguese) from his post as Gremio coach following a disappointing start to the season.

Super Rugby has produced its fair share of highlights in its short history. Since 1996 it has acted as the premier southern hemisphere rugby competition outside of internationals. This weekend will mark the conclusion of its 19th season. It is set to be a great game between the two in-form teams of the competition.

Rogers Cup 2014: The Top Storylines to Watch in Canada

The post-Wimbledon lull is over.

The ATP Tour’s event takes place in Toronto. The WTA...

Venus Williams, Agnieszka Radwanska, Angelique Kerber and last year’s... 

Neymar Criticised by New Brazil Coach Dunga for Dyed Hair, Wearing Caps

The relationship between new Brazil coach Dunga and the team’s talisman, Neymar, could be one to watch, with the manager criticising the forward over his dyed hair and choice of hats. Central to Dunga‘s criticism, it seems, is his desire to make sure Neymar understands he is part of a team and that the team does not revolve around him.
