The longer the drought lasts, the more difficult it is to end. Vijay Singh’s drought has simply lasted way too long to take him seriously at the top of the 2012 Greenbrier Classic leaderboard. Sure, he’s a legend and in is day was a force to be reckoned with. However, Father Time knocked on Singh’s door a while ago and he won’t be able to overcome his age to win in West Virginia.

Jack Nicklaus is in Tiger Woods’ rearview mirror. Well, at least he is if you believe the average PGA Tour win actually matters at this point in Tiger’s career. Woods won the AT&T National on Sunday for his 74th PGA tournament triumph passing Jack for second on the all-time list only behind Sam Snead. But Snead isn’t the man that Tiger should be chasing, and he leapfrogged Nicklaus...

Only majors matter. Jack Nicklaus isn’t considered the greatest golfer of all-time because he won the most PGA tournaments—well, because he didn’t win the most. Sam Snead did, but no one in his right mind is calling Snead a better golfer than Nicklaus. Tiger Woods shouldn’t be eying Snead’s record for that reason. He must maintain his focus on winning the 2012 British...

Novak Djokovic’s throne is in danger. Of course, that’s if it hasn’t been taken already. After absolutely dominating Rafael Nadal over the course of a year, Djokovic lost his third straight match to his rival in the 2012 French Open final. What Djoker still has going for him, though, is the fact that all three triumphs were on Nadal’s favorite surface: clay. Djokovic must...

Tiger Woods failed to enhance his legacy. On Sunday, Woods won the 2012 Memorial Championship, which marked just his second PGA tournament victory since 2009. While the triumph is valuable in terms of solidifying his once vanishing confidence, at this point in his career, only majors affect Tiger’s legacy. After the win, NBC Sports tweeted this fun fact surrounding the outcome’s supposed...

Novak Djokovic boosted his resume this week. Sure, he lost to Rafael Nadal in the 2012 Italian Open—big deal. That’s small change compared to the addition that Djoker gained by subtraction. CNBC’s Darren Rovell reported that Djokovic parted ways with sponsor Sergio Tacchini. Sources tell CNBC that Tacchini was able to sign Djokovic by offering him a smaller guarantee than the larger...

Novak Djokovic is a clay surface away from supremacy. The Serbian superstar is the No. 1 tennis player in the world, but on clay, he isn’t the king—Rafael Nadal holds that title. But if Djoker steals Rafa’s personal version of homecourt advantage, he’ll become unstoppable. Djokovic has eliminated Nadal in the Finals of the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. In the...

Stars shine brighter on clay. The 2012 French Open is rapidly approaching. This is how you should expect the following stars to perform at Roland Garros. Andy Murray Murray is the No. 4 ranked player in the world, but he’s never won a Grand Slam. Don’t expect him to finally break through this year either. Murray lucked out competing in an era with a dominant trio of Hall of Fame-caliber...
