The Cincinnati Masters (aka the Western and Southern Open) is the Grand Slam of the Midwest, the last stop on the road to the U.S. Open and one of the most historic events in American tennis. Needless to say, there’s plenty at stake in the 2015 edition. While action is still underway at the Rogers Cup in Toronto and Montreal, the top men and women will soon land in Mason, Ohio, to kick off a...

The first round of the PGA Championship did not disappoint. While players who teed off in the afternoon faced more difficult conditions as a result of heavy winds at Whistling Straits, the stage appears to be set for an interesting second round. Dustin Johnson, who lost in heartbreaking fashion at the U.S. Open earlier this year, has a one-stroke lead over Swedish golfer David Lingmerth after the opening...

If you had to assemble a sort of golf superteam to play in a high-stakes, four-day tournament—let’s say, to save human civilization from malevolent attackers—who would you pick?

The Wallabies’ 27-19 victory crowned them winners of the Rugby Championship having triumphed in all three games, sending out a World Cup warning in the process. However, the work...

Victory at Eden Park on Saturday is all that stands between Australia and their first Bledisloe Cup series win since 2002, but an alert New Zealand side won’t allow the trophy to leave their grasp so easily. An All Blacks win would see the series drawn at one win apiece, meaning the Bledisloe Cup stays with holders New Zealand, but Australia won’t get many opportunities as great as this...

A pair of Aussies sit atop the leaderboard after a weather-shortened second round at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits Golf Course in Wisconsin. Jason Day and Matt Jones both sat at nine-under when lightning, heavy rain and winds forced the suspension of play after a pretty wild round that saw player’s fortunes rise and sink and history nearly be made.

Nick Kyrgios had another attention-raising performance in the early half of 2015 Rogers Cup competition. Unfortunately, it’s another tempestuous pattern that he has shown as he strives to be a tennis champion. In the span of roughly 24 hours, Kyrgios picked up another monster win by defeating No. 3 seed Stan Wawrinka. During the match, however, he made a classless comment to his opponent that...

There were a lot of questions about Rory McIlroy coming into this week at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin. Was he really healthy enough to be playing? How rusty would he be? Could he defend his title and retain his spot atop the world rankings? While we don’t know the answer to that last question yet, after the first 18 holes of play at the PGA Championship, I feel comfortable saying the...
