This year’s PGA Tour opener was far from ordinary, but that didn’t stop current world No. 12 Dustin Johnson from taking home the bacon.

Which 2013 Major Does Tiger Woods Have the Best Chance to Win?

It has been 1,666 days since Tiger Woods won his last major tournament, when he bested Rocco Mediate at the 2008 U.S. Open. In the time since, Woods has gone through many trials and tribulations, from multiple surgeries and a swing change, to a widely-publicized divorce and the switch to new coach Sean Foley.

Tournament of Champions 2013: Why Tiger Woods Really Needed to Play in Kapalua

The PGA Tour’s season-opening Tournament of Champions, played at the Plantation Course at Kapalua, is hardly what its grandiose name suggests. Golf‘s first event of 2013 is lacking in star power. In the Champions’ rather cozy field of 30 Tour pros, just three of the participating golfers are in the top 10 of the current Official World Golf Rankings, and none of the... 

Why the Masters Shouldn’t Admit Winners from Each PGA Tour Event

The Masters. It is considered by many links enthusiasts to be the best golf tournament in the world. From “Amen Corner” to the green jacket, the Augusta National Golf Club gives the event a certain air of ritualistic fervor rivalled only by the Old Course at St. Andrews.  Many of the club’s rules, such as a ban on female members and an all-African American caddie requirement,...

The Case for Long Putters to Remain Legal

For those that follow the links closely in the offseason, you may have heard about the proposed ban on anchoring putters that’s being considered by the USGA and the R&A.  Known as rule 14-1b, the proposal essentially disallows the usage of an “anchor point,” as mentioned by a previous B/R piece on the subject.  For the most part, the press’s initial reaction...

Tiger Woods’ Priority List for the Offseason

Though he didn’t take home any major championships in 2012, this past year was still a moderately successful one for Tiger Woods. Three wins on the year pushed Woods past Jack Nicklaus on the all-time PGA Tour wins list, which is a milestone he’s quite proud of, as he told reporters earlier this month (via NDTV). “There was quite a few people out there that said I would never win... 

Men’s Golf: What Is Surging Graeme McDowell’s Ceiling for 2013?

Known as G-Mac to his enthusiastic fan base, Graeme McDowell is one of the golfing world’s most well-liked stars, both on and off the links.
