Money heals all wounds. That’s the quote, right? Something like that. Money makes the heart grow fonder? Swish. Spain’s Sergio Garcia, our resident most-notable-player-to-never-win-a-major, is running with the bulls all the way to the top of the BMW Championship leaderboard with his six-under 64 that put him at eight under overall. Maybe a win here, and winning the FedEx Cup Playoffs at...

The BMW Championship, the third leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, is going to give new meaning to the “ultimate driving machine.” A field of 70 golfers makes the move westward and upward to Denver’s Cherry Hills Country Club where the air is thinner (400-yard drives anyone? Looking at you, Bubba…and you, Rory) and where the beer flows like wine. What has gotten into these people...

Now that Labor Day has passed and most of the field—men’s and women’s—has been eliminated. it’s time to get real. On the women’s side, only one top-eight seed remains (Serena Williams), while the men’s side is still loaded with the game’s top stars (with the exception of David Ferrer). Going forward, there are some serious questions worth asking about...

Chris Kirk? Let’s be honest. Who knew who this young man was? He turned pro in 2007, won his first tournament in 2011, his second early this year and his third tournament in the Deutsche Bank Championship. Now he’s No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings where Hunter Mahan was a week ago after his win in The Barclays. Mahan shrunk from the top, but Kirk filled the void. Looking...

Some people need a Baconator and a large fry to nurse a hangover. Rory McIlory sweated out his post-PGA Championship hangover at The Barclays and appears laser-sighted on the FedEx Cup heading into the final round at the Deutsche Bank Championship. His Sunday scorecard saw no bogeys and took flight with seven birdies. McIlroy went on the golf equivalent of a rock-star bender, which started back on...

The U.S. Open brings with it a field of players who have a lot to prove. That list even includes 17-time Grand Slam winners Serena Williams and Roger Federer, but it also includes players who received an easy pass into the third round (David Ferrer), players who had a rough road to the fourth round (Sara Errani) or a guy who’s more known for his height and serve than his overall game (John...

For a time it looked like Tom Watson, the 2014 Ryder Cup captain, had little choice but to pull the hair from his wonderfully coiffed, 64-year-old melon. There was Tiger Woods’ back, Jason Dufner’s neck and Dustin Johnson’s something or other. Who would Watson pick? Who could he pick? Behind closed doors, Watson must have been as happy as a hobbit during second breakfast when he heard...

The top seeds at the U.S. Open are almost always assured of a berth in Week 2 (Sorry, Agnieszka Radwanska). Some have scares, others coast, but none have an easy road to the final. Some players, like Roger Federer, have it easier than others with regards to external influence. For others, like Maria Sharapova, the challenge is more internal. She makes things harder for herself than she needs to. All...

The American women may be on the verge of something. What that something actually is has everything to do with performance and if we are to gauge the state of American women’s tennis based on one round of Grand Slam tennis, then the sky above Flushing Meadows is the limit. Madison Keys dominated in her win over Jarmila Gajdosova with 23 winners, nine aces and only nine unforced errors. Sloane...

The top 100 players exiting The Barclays make the trip north and east to TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts, for the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs: the Deutsche Bank Championship. Hunter Mahan, winner of The Barclays, vaulted to the lead in the FedEx Cup standings with his resounding win at Ridgewood Country Club. A huge putt on No. 17 allowed him to win without too much trepidation. Defending...
