5 Biggest Storylines for the Humana Challenge

Entering the third week of the PGA Tour season, golf fans have already been treated to compelling victories by Dustin Johnson at Kapalua and Russell Henley at the Sony Open at (easy to say, difficult to spell) Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.   Beyond whether or not there will be a let down for Henley after a defining victory in his first PGA Tour start, there are a number of other storylines... 

Why Booming Distance Is Ruining Golf

As the acclaimed architect of Bandon Dunes, Tom Doak, said in the September 2005 issue of Golf Magazine: “Something has to stop changing—and soon—or we’ll no longer recognize the courses and the game we love.” Although many believe that the 2004 USGA decision regarding driver head size and maximum COR quashed the issue of increasing driving distance on the PGA Tour,... 

Breaking Down Dustin Johnson’s Season-Opening Win at Kapalua

Dustin Johnson, despite a few questionable decisions on the closing nine, made relatively light work of the Plantation Course over the three-round, weather-shortened Tournament of Champions. Much has been written about Johnson donning the lei and lifting the trophy on Tuesday (strange to write that); however, here are a few additional morsels of information breaking down the South Carolinian’s... 

Why New Clubs and Balls Make 2013 a Big Question Mark for Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy, 23, easily golf’s most promising young talent, has played Titleist clubs and balls for the entirety of his five years as a professional golfer. Although it hasn’t been officially announced by the marketing mavens at Nike, McIlroy has reportedly signed a $200 million-plus endorsement deal with the company, and Titleist confirmed months ago that McIlroy would no longer... 

Is Sean Foley Helping or Hurting Tiger Woods?

Sean Foley, Canada’s great golf-instructing hope, has been working with America’s once-great golfing hope, Tiger Woods, since the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. Under Foley’s tutelage, Woods has failed to earn a single major victory and has only won three times on the PGA Tour. Regardless, Sean Foley is helping Tiger Woods. This isn’t to say progress has been made... 

The 10 Most Memorable Images of Golf in 2012

The golf photographer has as his subject both the great drama of sport and the supreme beauty of nature. Historically, these two elements have come together to create some truly enduring images. While none of the top 10 golf photos of 2012 are as iconic as the Ben Hogan One Iron at Merion or Nicklaus’ final trip across the Swilcan Bridge, many compelling scenes of emotion and absurdity were captured... 

Why the PGA Tour Needs to Revisit the Age Restriction

In 2001, when Ty Tryon and Kevin Na both turned professional at age 17, the PGA Tour Policy Board established the minimum age for full membership on Tour to be 18. Given Si Woo Kim’s recent Q-School performance, however, and the impending modifications to the Q-School format and the PGA Tour qualification process, it’s the right time to revisit the age restriction on Tour, both to nip a... 

Tiger Woods’ Christmas Wish List

What goes on your Christmas List when you’re worth $600 million? There are few things Tiger Woods might ask the other man in red for, beyond a frank sit-down conversation about the temptations of immense celebrity and success. After all, Santa has been a high-profile, international A-lister for considerably longer than Tiger and has managed to keep both his house and his workshop in order. I... 

Why Golf Shouldn’t Be in the Olympics

Golf has not been an Olympic sport since the 1904 games in St. Louis, where George Lyon of Canada took the gold medal. Although the 2009 International Olympic Committee decision to add golf to the Olympic program has been greeted with much fanfare, the decision is ultimately not a good one for professional golf as a whole, regardless of any potential benefit to the Olympics. To paraphrase one of the... 

Predicting Adam Scott’s Future After Anchored Putter Ban

At a practice round prior to last week’s Australian Open, Adam Scott was seen practicing with a short putter.  The putter in question appeared to be nearly 35 inches, and Scott was employing a modified grip. He didn’t use the device in play, but the siting confirms that Scott is searching for an alternative to his long putter, which will become illegal following the publication of...
