Brandt Snedeker is the hottest player in professional golf right now, and after opening his 2013 PGA Tour season with top-three finishes in four of the five events he has entered thus far—including a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro Am earlier this month—he is unquestionably one of the favorites heading into the year’s first major, the Masters Tournament. Of course, Snedeker...

In some ways, 2012 was a year to forget for Jim Furyk. OK, he did manage two runner-up finishes and eight top-10s in 24 events. And he was third on the PGA Tour in scoring average and fourth in driving accuracy. Plus, he hit a lot of greens in regulation and for the most part, he putted well. Oh, and he won more than $3.6 million. On paper, that all looks pretty good. In fact, it looks very good. So...

The 18th hole on the Plantation Course at the Kapalua Resort in Hawaii is a veritable launching pad for PGA Tour pros. The 663-yard behemoth is the final hole at the annual season-opening Hyundai Tournament of Champions, and has accounted for more than 25 percent of the 400-yard drives on the PGA Tour since 2003. Thus, it seemed like the perfect location for Golf Channel to unveil their new “Callaway...

In an unlikely turn of events on Sunday at the 2012 Ryder Cup, Team Europe came from four points back to defeat the United States 14 1/2 to 13 1/2. The European squad won eight of 12 singles matches to equal the greatest final-day comeback in Ryder Cup history.

The United States team spent the first two days of the 2012 Ryder Cup matches at Medinah Country Club building a big lead. Now, in a format they are typically strong in—the Sunday singles matches—the U.S. squad is poised to win for only the third time since 1995 if they can capture four (and a half) of the 12 remaining games. Sure, it seems like a probable enough occurrence. There have...

Professional golf has been clamoring for a bona fide rival for Tiger Woods since he turned pro in 1996, but up until recently, there wasn’t enough competition to make any sense of it. Sure, there were attempts. Phil Mickelson was an obvious choice. So was Sergio Garcia. And they’ve had their moments with Tiger.

The stage is nearly set for the 2012 Ryder Cup between the United States and Europe, September 28-30 at Medinah Country Club just outside Chicago.

Here’s what we know right now. The U.S. team has...

For two days this week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Tiger Woods struggled to find his game. It wasn’t an out-of-the-ordinary experience for Tiger in 2012, though. His inconsistent play has become the norm for the 14-time major champion this season. But who can really argue with the results? Tiger is currently the second-ranked player in the world and he leads the PGA Tour in victories...
