Stock Watch for Golf’s Top Stars After 2014 Players Championship

On the floor of our PGA Tour Stock Exchange, shares of the world’s best golfers are trading hands following Martin Kaymer‘s win at the The Players.  Kaymer, now a two-time winner on tour, seems to have rebuilt his confidence and returned to form after a period in the wilderness.

2014 Players Championship: Winners and Losers from TPC Sawgrass

Whether you were rooting for a Jordan Spieth or Martin Kaymer win at the Players Championship, you’d have to concede that the final round never lacked for excitement, although it was occasionally of the “rubbernecking at a car accident” variety.  As Spieth faltered down the stretch and Kaymer made a sincere effort to do the same, both have earned spots on this list of winners... 

Dark Horses to Watch at the 2014 Players Championship

The favorites this week at the Players Championship are a predictable lot: Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Lee Westwood, Justin Rose, etc. If you’re willing to be a little more speculative in your fantasy golf league or when selecting who you’ll be mustering the greatest enthusiasm for this week, you’ve come to the right place. And it’s worth noting that last week’s... 

Wells Fargo Championship 2014: Winners and Losers from Quail Hollow

As he stood on the 18th tee with a two-stroke lead during the final round at Quail Hollow, J.B. Holmes made a sincere effort to add his name to the “loser” column on this list when he inexplicably pulled out his driver and pushed his tee shot badly to the right.  However, a clutch three-footer for bogey placed him one shot clear of Jim Furyk and at the top of the leaderboard... 

Pros and Cons of Parity Becoming the New Norm in Golf

Parity, and the progress toward parity, on the PGA Tour is a mixed blessing to be sure.  However, as the Tiger Woods era begins to wane (Woods is 38), the next generation of golf stars has started to emerge. In the absence of a successor, and in an environment in which players seem to graduate from the Web.com Tour with the ability to win on the PGA Tour, parity will be the order of the day.  What’s... 

Predicting the Official World Golf Ranking’s Top 10 in 5 Years

In the Official World Golf Ranking, as in popular perception, nothing is more important than winning majors. Thus, the agreed-upon standard for determining who the best golfer in the world is involves assigning the most ranking points to a major victory.  It’s no surprise, then, that those at the top of the OWGR at present have tasted victory in golf’s most significant tournaments,... 

Golfers Most in Need of a Strong Performance Before the 2014 US Open

The U.S. Open at Pinehurst is a little over a month-and-a-half away. The best golfers in the world have put their performances at the first major of the year behind them and are beginning to think about the shots they’ll need at Donald Ross-designed Pinehurst No. 2.  While golfers such as Jimmy Walker, Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar are firing on all cylinders, others on the PGA Tour are in... 

Winners and Losers of the 2014 Zurich Classic

Twenty-two-year-old South Korean Seung-Yul Noh cruised to a two-stroke victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Thus, the guy in the photo holding the trophy is a winner. (Surprise!) Mr. Noh is in good company, as two players formerly among the world’s best join him there in this edition of “Winners and Losers.”  Who are the losers this week?  Read on to find out. Begin... 

Golfers Who Will Climb the Highest in the Official World Golf Rankings in 2014

Tiger Woods is poised to lose his top position in the Official World Golf Ranking soon. But this has less to do with the quality play of the No. 2 golfer in the world, Adam Scott, and more to do with Woods sitting on his couch in Jupiter, Florida, following back surgery, instead of playing competitive golf. So, Adam Scott should be moving up in the OWGR. Who else will be joining him in climbing up... 

Ranking the 10 Best Left-Handed Players in Golf History

Golf is not included with spiral notebooks, scissors and “bonking elbows with a righty at the dinner table” on a Buzzfeed list titled “The 18 Worst Things For Left-Handed People.” Nevertheless, although there’s no practical disadvantage to golfing from the south side, there are relatively few left-handed golfers on the PGA Tour.  Perhaps this is because natural left-handers...
