Is Serena Williams’ Poor Hopman Cup Performance a Sign of Decline?

Two years after becoming the oldest woman to hold down the No. 1 ranking, Serena Williams remains on a “decline watch.” Dominant for nearly a decade, Williams often plays a stratosphere above the rest of the women on the WTA Tour. So when her game crashes back to earth, the decline watchers wonder: could this be the beginning of the end? Williams’ recent performance at the 2015 Hopman... 

Biggest Storylines Ahead of the 2015 Sony Open in Hawaii

Living in the Northeast, or anywhere along a line of latitude that points away from the sun in these solstice months, makes one just a tad bitter seeing grown men play golf on a Hawaiian island. A year ago, Jimmy Walker won the Sony Open and began his meteoric climb to the top of the FedEx Cup standings. This went on for most of the year. Walker went on to have a career year with nearly $6 million... 

Winners and Losers from the 2015 Hyundai Tournament of Champions

The more self-impressed golf writers in the world will likely draw some clever comparison between Patrick Reed and another golfer who dons red and black during the final round of golf tournaments. Reed did look positively Tiger-esque (or is it Woods-ian?) down the stretch at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions as he hunted down Jimmy Walker in thrilling fashion.  The new father, of course, finds...

PGA Tour Players with the Best Chance to Go Below 59

For many years, the magic number in was 60. If a golfer could sign a scorecard with that number, he was something special. And then along came the 59 club. Six players in PGA Tour history have hit that mark: Al Geiberger, Chip Beck, David Duval, Paul Goydos, Stuart Appleby, Jim Furyk. Ryo Ishikawa shot 58 in 2010 on the Japan Golf Tour at the Crowns, but that has not yet been accomplished on the PGA... 

Positives and Negatives of New Formula 1 Super Licence System

The FIA recently announced changes to the system that sees drivers awarded a super licence, the accolade which allows them to compete in Formula One.

Roger Federer Takes on Lleyton Hewitt on Tennis’ Newest Surface—Water!

We have Grand Slams on grass, clay and hard courts—could water be next? Well, no. Don’t be so ridiculous.
