Memorial Tournament 2014: Winners and Losers from Muirfield Village

Hideki Matsuyama became the fifth player to win the Memorial Tournament in his first attempt. He also became the fourth Japanese-born player to win on the PGA Tour with his playoff victory over Kevin Na.  With his final-round 69 and clutch par-saving putt on the first playoff hole, the 22-year-old Matsuyama became a very big winner at Jack Nicklaus’ tournament this week.  Who else emerged... 

The Best Quotes from the 2014 PGA Tour so Far

We haven’t had any deer antler spray or fried chicken remarks during the 2014 PGA Tour season. Nor have we been party to Phil Mickelson bemoaning his tax situation.  That doesn’t mean there’s been any shortage of interesting utterances from the mouths of the PGA Tour’s best in 2014, though. From the bold to the bizarre, it’s all here.  Click through for a rundown... 

Early Storylines Emerging Ahead of the 2014 US Open

The 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst is now just a few weeks away. The majority of the game’s best golfers will tee it up at the Memorial Tournament this week and then shut it down for a few days prior to heading to Pinehurst, North Carolina, ahead of the June 12 first round. As the field has nearly fully taken shape and the local qualifiers have been played, it’s time to take a look at the... 

Ranking the 10 Most Dominant Reigns as World No. 1 in Golf History

In the nearly 20-year history of the Official World Golf Ranking, 17 golfers have earned the title of world No. 1. Most recently, Adam Scott deposed Tiger Woods to take over the top position in the ranking. Scott made a statement in his first tournament since assuming the top spot with a victory at the Colonial Invitational. And while it remains to be seen how dominant he’ll be while sitting... 

2014 Crowne Plaza Invitational: Winners and Losers from Colonial

Adam Scott raised the 11th trophy of his PGA Tour career at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. The three-hole playoff between Scott and Jason Dufner made the latter a loser but produced another winner you’ll discover as you read on.

The Top Feel-Good Storylines from the PGA Tour in 2014

Feel-good stories in sports in general, and in golf in particular, seem few and far between sometimes. The 2014 golf season has been defined by stories such as Tiger Woods‘ poor form, back surgery and absence, and, more recently, Rory McIlroy’s announcement that he had called off his engagement to Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.  There have been, however, a bevy of more... 

Why Miguel Angel Jimenez Is the Most Interesting Man in Golf

In labeling Miguel Angel Jimenez the “Most Interesting Golfer in the World,” the gray-bearded elephant in the room is, of course, Dos Equis’ “Most Interesting Man in the World.” As Francis Pruett of Barman Guide writes, agency Euro RSCG Worldwide conceived of the beer company’s character as “a man rich in stories and experiences, much the way the audience... 

Ranking the Most Lackluster World No. 1s in Golf History

There have been 17 No. 1s in the nearly 20-year history of the the Official World Golf Ranking. Not all of the 17 players have had the distinguished career of, say, Tiger Woods or Greg Norman, who have collectively occupied more than 1,000 weeks at the top of the OWGR. Adam Scott knocked Tiger Woods off his perch this week after his most recent 60-week stint as the top-ranked golfer in the world.  Who... 

2014 Byron Nelson Championship: Winners and Losers from TPC Four Seasons

The Byron Nelson Championship is the first half of the brief Texas swing prior to the Memorial Tournament. As the tour’s best continue to refine their games and jockey for position ahead of the U.S. Open in less than a month, the two weeks in Texas are always interesting.   Entering the final round of Lord Byron’s tournament, Brendon Todd and Louis Oosthuizen were tied for the lead... 

Ranking the Worst Current Slumps on the PGA Tour

There are some significant slumps on the PGA Tour right now. With all due respect to the likes of John Daly and David Duval (who, truthfully, is rebuilding his game), the slumps of interest are those of golfers who have won recently or whom we actually expect to win.  Among the top 100 golfers in the Official World Golf Ranking, many are doing a reverse Jordan Spieth—who vaulted from...
