With mere days until the tournament begins at Royal Lytham, it’s time to take a look at the top 25 golfers entering the Open Championship (or British Open, depending on your persuasion).  And before anyone gets bent out of shape about why so-and-so is ranked ahead of so-and-so, remember: This isn’t an odds list.

Young Golf Stars with the Best Chance to Win the 2014 British Open

What youngsters are primed to raise the Claret Jug at the 2014 British Open? Before addressing that question, let’s define “young.” For our purposes, anyone under 25 is positively a whippersnapper.

Greenbrier Classic 2014: Winners and Losers from the Old White TPC

The Greenbrier Classic at Old White TPC is in the books, and we’re now just two weeks away from the third major of the season.  In White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, Angel Cabrera’s holed 178-yard approach shot at the 13th hole Sunday gave El Pato a three-stroke lead that, despite a pair of bogeys to follow, was enough to propel the Argentinian to a two-stroke victory...

Early Storylines Emerging Ahead of the 2014 Open Championship

The 2014 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool (Hoylake) begins July 17. The last time the tournament was contested at Royal Liverpool, Tiger Woods famously employed a driver-less strategy to win the tournament by two strokes.
