This edition of the Power Rankings comes fresh on the heels of Tiger Woods’s triumph at the Players Championship. If it were possible to move higher than the first spot, Tiger might have done so with his win. As it’s not, the world No. 1 and Power Ranking No. 1 has put a little more distance between himself and the No. 2 player with his second career win at TPC Sawgrass. Who is moving up?...

Tiger Woods entered the third round a stroke behind leader Sergio Garcia. He ended the round two strokes behind leader David Lingmerth. After a series of loose tee shots to open the round, Tiger righted the ship before a weather delay stopped play for nearly two hours. The horn sounded during the golfer’s seventh hole. Really, the gray skies complemented Woods round, which was rather blah. Woods...

Some might think that coming out of nowhere for one’s first PGA Tour victory, as Derek Ernst did, ought to earn the golfer a spot in the Power Rankings. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. In the Official World Golf Ranking, Ernst jumped from 1,207 to 123 with his win.

To say that the 2013 PGA Tour season hasn’t gone quite like Rory McIlroy hoped it would is an understatement—that is, unless the golfer had hoped for abysmal play, a PR nightmare and lingering questions about his decision to switch equipment sponsors. He likely also hadn’t hoped to spark a discussion about his ability to withstand the scrutiny and pressure his success laid at the...

On the PGA Tour right now, there are only a few players scorching the fairways (Hint: One of them launched a fiery eruption of fist-pumps after winning the Zurich Classic). A few players are stuck in the deep freeze, a few golfers’ games are Dufnering and some of last year’s best rookies are looking more lost on tour this year than they did in their maiden campaigns. Happily, one of the...

The playoff in golf is, by its very nature, an exciting prospect: Two (or sometimes more) men go head to head over a few holes—or a full 18—to determine a tournament’s victor. When such a spectacle takes place on the stage of a major championship, the intensity, intrigue and excitement of the competition ascend to an even higher realm of sport. While this list is undoubtedly biased...

The players on the PGA Tour are the best golfers in the world. Many of them, however, dress like clowns or Target employees. In other words, their golfing abilities are not proportional to their abilities to dress themselves well. Many tour players violate the cardinal rule of getting dressed to play golf: “When in doubt, follow the example of Mr. Palmer and Mr. Hogan.” For example, Freddy...

Blue chips, penny stocks, growth and value plays are all available on the B&A 25 (the index of the most widely held PGA Tour professional stocks).

Throughout a day that began with an eruption in the Twitterverse over a Tiger Woods rules violation and ended with Jason Day and Brandt Snedeker fighting free from the pack, the third round of the 2013 Masters Tournament never lacked intrigue and excitement. On moving day at the Masters, there were moves aplenty. Although the Augusta National Competition committee made the biggest move of the day before...
