The best shots of 2014 on the PGA Tour range from an albatross to excavation efforts in the desert to brilliantly (and not-so-brilliantly) struck approach shots. In evaluating the “best,” we took a look at situational difficulty, overall drama, the significance of the shot and the general excitement factor.

With Christmas Day almost upon us, Formula One is well into its winter break. While the drivers spend the cold and dark months putting their feet up—new world champion Lewis Hamilton, for instance, has been skiing—the work never stops for the teams, who are by this point on top of their preparations for the coming season.

The 2015 Formula One season should fill the gaps that this year’s campaign left behind. Mercedes, the world champions, should not have it quite as easy as the rest of the field acclimatise to the new-spec regulations, with no shortage of teams primed to rejoin the winners’ circle. Likewise, there are plenty of drivers with a point to prove as they either look to make their mark in F1 or...

If 2014 picked redemption as a theme, then Diego Tardelli is a contender for poster boy. After a successful return to Atletico Mineiro following an unhappy stint in Russia and the Middle East, Tardelli went on to help the club lift the Copa Libertadores in 2013. But it is in the last 12 months where the versatile front man has arguably had the most to celebrate. Overlooked by Luiz Felipe Scolari for...

No one has worn the No. 12 jersey for the All Blacks more than Ma’a Nonu. Despite having played at outside centre and on the wing at various stages of his career, Nonu has undoubtedly made the All Blacks No. 12 jersey his own in recent years. But is he an all-time great? Having signed on to play for Toulon after next year’s World Cup, the end is now in sight for Nonu’s All Black...
