Another day of Formula One preseason testing, another struggle for McLaren-Honda. Indeed “Struggle” could be branded on the side of the MP4-30 (in place of, say, a missing title sponsor) as a theme for McLaren’s year so far. At the first test in Jerez, Spain, McLaren managed just 79 laps (Red Bull had the next fewest at 166). Last week in Barcelona, Spain, McLaren’s total improved—slightly—to...

After playing in two events on the European Tour, Rory McIlroy‘s hiatus from the PGA Tour ended with his appearance in the 2015 Honda Classic. The world’s top-ranked player always faces high expectations, so he has a lot to live up to right out of the gate. It doesn’t help ease McIlroy’s burden that he won the Dubai Desert Classic and finished second...

Star athletes Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Michelle Wie, Charles Barkley and Bo Jackson may play at different levels on the golf course, but they’re all on the same page with one thing. Nike. Nike was able to squeeze all of those stars into a 30-second commercial promoting the Vapor driver. No matter how much success the athlete has had on the golf course, “there’s always...
