Biggest Storylines in Golf Ahead of the 2015 RBC Heritage

Jordan Spieth. Jordan Spieth. Jordan Spieth. Between the 21-year-old’s resounding Masters triumph and his New York City media tour, golf fans haven’t heard about much else in the past few days.  And with the winner of the 79th Masters Tournament set to be in the field at this week’s RBC Heritage, you’re certain to hear more about the prodigious young Texan this week…which... 

PGA Rankings: Breaking Down the Top 25 Players Post-Masters

Jordan Spieth was already in the top position in the pre-Masters rankings. So even with his brilliant, record-tying performance at Augusta, he can’t move up any further.  That is not the case for a few golfers who performed particularly well at golf’s premier event: Charley Hoffman, Hideki Matsuyama and Dustin Johnson to name a few.  And of course some Masters participants are... 

Masters 2015: What Golf’s Top Stars Must Prove

He must prove that he can maintain... 

Ranking the 10 Best Shots in Masters History

With the 79th edition of the Masters Tournament upon us, it’s fitting to look back at some of the great shots in the history of the “tradition unlike any other.”  This list is admittedly biased toward more recent Masters strokes of brilliance as they were captured on video. Unfortunately, we don’t have video of the undisputed greatest shot in Masters history (a “shot... 

The 9 Most Unlikely Masters Champions

Browse the list of Masters champions since Horton Smith won the first tournament in 1934. Mostly, you’ll see the legendary figures of the game—men whose names are synonymous with golf in their given eras: Hogan, Nelson, Snead, Nicklaus, Palmer, Player, Watson, Ballesteros, Faldo, Woods, Mickelson.  You’ll also see long-suffering journeymen breaking through.

Masters 2015: Top Young Golfers to Watch at Augusta

As we look at the top young guns to keep an eye on at the Masters this year, remember this: Tiger Woods was 21 when he won his first Masters in 1997 in dominant fashion.  The fact both suggests how spectacular Woods’ feat was (as most of these golfers are over 21) and serves as a reminder that Augusta National can be conquered by a youngster.  And what’s young? For our purposes:... 

Winners and Losers from the 2015 Valero Texas Open

The PGA Tour made its way to Texas this week, and the Lone Star State didn’t exactly welcome the world’s best golfers with open arms. Gone were the tranquil skies of the Florida swing. In their place: wind and a lot of it.  One golfer weathered the gusts much better than the rest: the guy in the picture above. Jimmy Walker played TPC San Antonio four strokes better than any other golfer... 

Predicting the Early Favorites for the 2015 Masters

The Masters is a mere two weeks away. As all golf fans know, a certain lad from Northern Ireland has been the favorite to win the green jacket since he won both the Open Championship and the PGA Championship last season.  The rest of the pre-tournament favorites have combined recent good form with varying degrees of success at Augusta National.  We’ll look at the range of odds for each... 

Biggest Storylines in Golf Ahead of the 2015 Valero Texas Open

The Masters is two weeks away! Sorry, we’re talking about storylines entering the Valero Texas Open. And while the tour’s brief “Texas swing” this week and at next week’s Shell Houston Open will surely feature some good golf, players and fans are looking ahead to golf’s rite of spring at Augusta.  Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Jimmy Walker and Jim Furyk are... 

Winners and Losers from the 2015 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill

This year’s Arnold Palmer Invitational ended up looking a lot like last year’s: with Matt Every shaking tournament host Arnold Palmer’s hand.  A competition that began with seemingly everyone asking “How will Rory McIlroy play?” looked like it was going to be a Morgan Hoffmann romp after the golfer opened with rounds of 66 and 65. When Hoffmann faltered late, it seemed...
