Congratulations, Jordan Spieth. Now that you’ve won the Masters, made witty banter about the nature of your receding hairline and worn the green jacket, without a breather, you will travel to Hilton Head and try to win another tournament. You will undoubtedly face a letdown. The Category 5 emotional hurricane that was the four-day slam at Augusta National Golf Club heads out to sea. The...

A day after Jordan Spieth’s final putt rattled in the 72nd hole of the Masters, the focus now turns to the Pacific Northwest and Chambers Bay for the U.S. Open. The talk all weekend at Augusta National Golf Club was Spieth’s wire-to-wire win, the first in 39 years. Spieth deserved every word, but as we turn our attention to golf’s second major of the year, there are players who...

So we come to Sunday at the Masters, a day defined by color. Some wear red, some wear orange, some wear black and one wears green. In that mix is a small handful of true contenders, players within a long-iron shot of Jordan Spieth, the guy who puts the star in the Lone Star State. Like a cat toying with a mouse, Spieth methodically broke down the spirits of those around him, that was until he...

The Masters field seems to get deeper and deeper every year. Since when are there this many golfers in the top 50 who could win this tournament? Charl Schwartzel, ranked 36th, won the Masters in 2011. The top 20 is ridiculously talented. Finding dark horses wasn’t that hard. Many of the golfers on this list are favorably ranked but not those first-guess players to win majors, which makes them...

The Masters prep season comes to its final event at the Shell Houston Open starting on Thursday. Waiting are three native Texans with four wins between them: Jimmy Walker, Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth. That three-headed monster is scarier than Cerberus. Walker comes off an impressive four-stroke win at the Valero Texas Open over Spieth. Both players have been on point this spring. Others who haven’t...

You can almost smell the Masters as many of the tour’s best players head to Lone Star State for the Valero Texas Open. In a state known for football, the PGA Tour travels to Texas for two separate fossil-fuel themed tournaments over the next two weeks. We have the Valero in San Antonio and the Shell Houston Open in Houston next week. Upton Sinclair would be proud. The field for the Valero Texas...

You know it’s close to the Masters when Bay Hill’s Arnold Palmer Invitational surfaces on the wall calendar. Arnold Palmer, like John Madden, is more known for something other than his day job. In Madden’s case, it’s a video game. In Palmer’s case, it’s a delectable beverage. The world hasn’t been the same since desegregation was lifted from the iced tea-lemonade...

Now that the WGC Cadillac Championship is done and Dustin Johnson sewed up Comeback Player of the Year, the Tour moves to the west coast of Florida at the venomous Innisbrook Resort. Why venomous? It’s the Valspar Championship at Copperhead. Jeff Shain of PGATour.com wrote, “The Copperhead also consistently ranks high among PGA TOUR players for its no-nonsense demands. Double doglegs await...

The first World Golf Championship of the year tees off this week with the Cadillac Championship. The top 50 players in the world convene on Doral, and no, that does not include the beleaguered, injured, yip-plagued Tiger Woods. Who would have thought that Rory McIlroy, the world’s No. 1 player, could have shot seven-over par to miss the cut at the Honda Classic? Brutal. “Yeah, I’m...

Did you hear that sound? No? Listen closely, that was Rory McIlroy making landfall for the 2015 Honda Classic. The West Coast Swing was all well and good, but now things feel like they’re getting serious. Georgia and its Augusta National Golf Club wait just a few hundred miles north of PGA National Golf Club. McIlroy makes his first start on U.S. soil in six months, and along with him comes Martin...
