No, Tiger Woods did not win the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. And, no, he really was never in contention. But, Tiger is on the right path to make his return back to the top. As hypothesized before WGC-Bridgestone a few weeks ago, a loss there would be good for his career in the long run. It remains to be seen how things play out, but Tiger certainly took that humiliating defeat...

Y.E. Yang did the unthinkable last year and held off Tiger Woods to take home his first Major Championship. It is certainly hard to repeat that kind of magic, especially these days, when it seems like a new face is behind the trophy at every championship. But perhaps Yang has what it takes to do just that and repeat as PGA Championship winner. Here are 10 things working in Yang’s favor that may...

The last time the PGA Championship went all the way to Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, Vijay Singh took home the title in a playoff with Justin Leonard and Chris DiMarco. Yeah, Vijay Singh. It has been a little while since you’ve heard that name, hasn’t it? But just because he has been out of the headlines, it doesn’t mean Singh can’t repeat and be a surprise winner at the PGA...

The vultures are circling around Tiger Woods’ corpse. The doubters say that he may be past his prime. His supporters are starting to waver a little bit. Common perception may be that Tiger needs a win at Firestone this week in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. He has won the event seven times, a PGA Tour record for wins on one course. Surely this is Tiger’s best opportunity to get back...

Louis Oosthuizen leads a British Open field ready for the weekend surge. He did well by giving himself a nice five-stroke cushion at 12-under par, but the pressure will continue to build as the weekend rolls on. It will be interesting to see how he fares against that pressure and a field of players hungry to make a comeback and ruin the surprise leader’s bid to take home his first Major. Of course,...

Phil Mickelson had an unlucky draw that left him more prone to weather effects than those with an earlier start. But his birdie to close out his Friday round saved him from being cut heading into the weekend. As the winds picked up, those at even and one-over par were saved as the elements sent scores plummeting. Players like Steve Stricker, Scott Verplank, Colin Montgomery and Stewart Cink will live...

Rory McIlroy’s Major-record-tying 63 in Round One was an eye opener, but many thought he would contend for the British Open. Louis Oosthuizen on the other hand? Yeah, I haven’t heard of this guy either. After a second-round 67, Oosthuizen took over first place with a score of 12-under par. You may not think he will be there until the end, but he has stuck around this long. So, perhaps you...

St. Andrews has been generous to the British Open golfers so far, and its favorable weather has also contributed to a ton of players who can make a run for the championship. It is hard enough to predict a golf winner, so with so much golf remaining, this task is not made much easier after only one round. But it is never too early to take a look at who has the edge in taking home the championship at...

John Daly’s come-out-of-nowhere blistering six-under par 66 in Round One at the British Open is a made-for-TV storyline. Just lurking in his shadow is Tiger Woods, only one stroke behind Daly. So, it raises one interesting possibility: What if two of golf’s most embattled players square off for an epic duel over the course of the weekend? What could be better for the sport? Tiger has gotten...

All of the focus at the British Open has been on Tiger Woods trying to make his comeback from his recent off-the-course problems, but perhaps that focus should be shifted to a new person: John Daly. Yes, you read that right: Daly is the name everyone is talking about after Round One at St. Andrews. Tiger had an impressive Round One performance, with a five-under-par 67. But when he entered...
