Jordan Spieth Looks Like Tiger Woods 2.0 After Masters-US Open Double at 21

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — There’s always a star in the future. And in the wings. There’s always another great one ready to move in, to keep us enthralled in golf. Always another Jack Nicklaus. Or Tiger Woods. Always a Jordan Spieth. He’s not the new Tiger, because Woods was unique in his preparation, his focus and intensity, and his ability to will himself to victory while the... 

What Insiders Have to Say as Tiger Woods’ Woes Hit a New Low at the 2015 US Open

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — The old line when a famous golfer shoots a bad score—Lee Trevino used to toss it out frequently—was that 90 percent of the pros didn’t care and the other 10 percent wish he had played even worse. Harsh, but mostly true. Golfers are so focused on their own games, their own difficulties, it’s rare when they even acknowledge those of a competitor. Even... 

Jordan’s Jewel: Spieth’s 2015 Masters Win an Unforgettable, Star-Making Display

AUGUSTA, Ga. — At an age almost too young and with talent almost too incredible, Jordan Spieth mastered the Masters as had only one other person in history—Tiger Woods. Kicking any thought of competition deep into the Georgia pines, Spieth crushed not only the Augusta National Golf Club but the plans of some of golf’s current greats. He was in front virtually from the second hole... 

Will Jordan Spieth Handle the Pressure Cooker of a Sunday Lead at the Masters?

AUGUSTA, Ga. — After setting records on Friday and surviving his first real hiccup on Saturday, Jordan Spieth faces the toughest test of all, in the hours before the final round of the Masters.  He’s still in first, but is he in control? The night will seem to last forever. The Masters lead still belongs to him, and it’s large enough, four shots—yet at the same... 

Get Ready for the Tiger Woods Circus at the 2015 Masters

There’s a saying in golf that no person is bigger than the game…unless that person is Tiger Woods, who turns logic inside out and upside down. And his presence at the 2015 Masters, now that he confirmed his participation, will do exactly that. Rory McIlroy’s attempt to win a career Grand Slam? Back page stuff. Open up the big top and send in the clowns. The Tiger Woods Circus... 

All Signs Point to Tiger Woods Playing Masters, but Is He Really Ready to Win?

Only Tiger Woods knows for sure if he’s ready to conquer another Masters. The rest of us are only left to guess. More than guess. We can anticipate. He didn’t spend all these weeks working on his game, didn’t fly to Augusta to get in a presumed practice round for nothing. He’s done everything he could to participate in the Masters. If he’s physically ready—and he... 

Introspective Serena Williams Embraces Role Model Chance in Indian Wells Return

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — She’s spoken out before. Well, shouted out. At a linesperson during the 2009 U.S. Open. Endless invective. Serena Williams was never afraid to show her passion. Or now after years of boycotting one of the more important tennis tournaments in the world, her compassion. The incident lives here in the California desert of the baronial estates and well-watered fairways... 

Dream of Vintage Tiger Woods Returning Is Dead After Torrey Pines Withdrawal

SAN DIEGO — It seemed as symbolic as it was sad. There was the man, Eldrick Woods, the one and only Tiger, driving away into a coastal fog that, if it didn’t obscure his future—he’s done—it certainly did the future of golf. Why does it always have to end like this for the great ones—injuries and ailments and worst of all an inability to perform with the magnificence... 

USA Getting Dominated Means Ryder Cup Is More Irrelevant Than Ever in America

GLENEAGLES, Scotland — When Andy Roddick, the now-retired tennis star, was asked about his rivalry with Roger Federer, he answered, “That’s not a rivalry. He keeps winning.” The same could be said for the European team’s dominance against the United States in the Ryder Cup. Once it was a rivalry. Now it’s an irrelevancy. At least in the U.S. Phil Mickelson, a Ryder... 

Team USA Giving Captain Tom Watson a Dismal Farewell at 2014 Ryder Cup

GLENEAGLES, Scotland — This was going to be an exclamation point on Tom Watson’s great career, a final glorious farewell for a man appropriately in a land where much of his golfing reputation was established. He would step out of the past, return as captain of an American Ryder Cup team and through his words and wisdom earn another generation’s accolades, maneuvering and persuading...
