After only five hours of golf, the first day of the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open at The Broadmoor was over. Play was suspended due to lightning in the area at 12:47 p.m. Less than three hours later, play was called for the day at 3:11 p.m., with only 25 players having completed their first round and 72 players yet to tee off. The No. 2 player in the world, Cristie Kerr, and soon-to-be 19-year-old amateur...

For Paula Creamer, it was another Sunday in contention at a major. As I stood near the first tee at Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, NY, hundreds of golf fans surrounding the area just below the clubhouse were jockeying for position, hoping to catch a glimpse of the LPGA Tour’s most popular player. Decked out in her signature pink Adidas garb, Creamer—aka The Pink Panther—smiled,...

The latest news on Tiger Woods‘ return to the PGA Tour is that he doesn’t know when he’ll be back in action. The knee and Achilles injuries he sustained in The Masters Tournament have left him hobbled—and he has only played nine holes of competitive golf since. That means someone has to take charge—at least in the sense of being a popular draw for the fans. Let’s...

Nice guys are supposed to finish last. Well, that’s how the old adage goes. And it may hold true in some cases. But on the PGA Tour, being a nice guy oftentimes means there will be legions of patrons following you around a golf course, with support from near and far. And typically, at least for most of these guys, a place on the top of the leaderboard. There are certainly more than 10 likeable...

Rory McIlroy continued his dominance in the 2011 U.S. Open with a third round score of 68, pushing his lead to eight shots and setting himself up for his first major championship victory. McIlroy increased his overnight lead by two shots as he methodically and patiently worked his way around Congressional Country Club Saturday. His 54-hole score of 199 is a U.S. Open record. Supportive patrons chanted,...

This week the PGA Tour lands in Dublin, OH for the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance. Muirfield Village Golf Club—aka “Jack’s Place”—is the venue for what has been a Tour staple since 1976. The 7,265-yard par-72 course was ranked as the 19th-most difficult track on the PGA Tour in 2010. Defending champion Justin Rose leads an impressive field, including...

The HP Byron Nelson Championship at the TPC Four Seasons Resort outside of Dallas, Texas, is the second straight stop for the PGA Tour in the Lone Star State, following last week’s Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. I was concerned about the condition of the golf course after the brutal storms that swept through Texas last night, but a call to the media center at TPC Four Seasons confirmed...

For the first time since April 1997—before he won his first green jacket at the Masters Tournament—Tiger Woods is no longer among those players in the Official World Golf Ranking Top 10. For the week of May 22, Woods is listed at No. 12. It’s almost unfathomable. The man who many considered the best golfer of all-time—the man who once held the top spot in the OWGR for a staggering...

This week, the PGA Tour rolls into the Lone Star State with a staple stop at Colonial Country Club for the Crowne Plaza Invitational. Zach Johnson is the defending champion at Colonial, where he set a course record 21 under par last year. Hot off a closing round 66 at The Players last week, Johnson should use that momentum and his recent success here to put up some nice numbers. Here are five more...

The 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass is one of the most recognizable in all of golf. The island green and stadium setting at the home of the PGA Tour creates an atmosphere unlike any other. And in the presentation of the 2011 PLAYERS Championship, it offered a stage befitting of the spotlight. During Sunday’s final round, K.J. Choi birdied No. 17 to temporarily take a one-shot lead, then defeated David...
