At one point on Saturday, the 2012 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational looked like it could be a runaway victory for Jim Furyk. With a birdie at the par-five second hole, Furyk ran his score to 12-under-par and opened a five-shot lead over the rest of the field on this “moving day.” It looked like a continuation of his first two rounds. Furyk’s opening scores of 63 and 66 were highlighted...

Blackwolf Run, the site of the 67th U.S. Women’s Open, won this battle...

All of a sudden, Tiger Woods is the hottest player on the PGA Tour. After last week’s exciting two-shot victory at the AT&T National, Tiger now has more wins than any other player on tour this year with three. And he’s primed for a run at the two remaining major championships—the Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in a couple weeks and the PGA Championship...

Whoever dreamed up the idea for Big Break: Atlantis is kind of a genius. In fact, it probably resulted from a daydream: a dozen beautiful women that just happen to play golf, stranded on an island in the Bahamas? What a concept. OK, “stranded” might not be the right term—until you watch them compete. There is definitely a feeling of isolation when one shot determines a contestant’s...

If there was any question as to whether or not Tiger Woods was “back”—well, it appears that question has been answered. He’s back. In winning his PGA Tour-leading third tournament of the year Sunday—a two-shot victory at the AT&T National—Tiger showed he can still win golf tournaments.

If Wie is on top of her game—if she’s playing well and consistently positioning her name on the top of leaderboards week in and week out—the LPGA Tour is better for it. Not that the ladies’ circuit is hurting for good stories—there are a ton of them if anyone would take the time to notice. But Wie, despite...

This is all Tiger Woods‘ fault. When he was dominating the world of professional golf—winning 14 major championships and holding the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking for a record 281 consecutive weeks—he set the bar so high not even he would be able to reach it again. Or so it would appear that way. You know, since the fall. But the expectations are still there—from...

There comes a time in every successful golfer’s career when, if they have not yet won a major championship, the pressure to do so increases with each passing year. If a lot goes well, the top 10 finishes begin to pile up. And if a player is really fortunate, the victories begin to accumulate. But let’s say those wins are not major-championship wins. That’s where the problems begin. For...
