Expectations can be very difficult. They define how we assess success, where we identify failure and how we classify accomplishments.

Tiger Woods was the favorite to win The Masters this past April. Likewise, he was the bookmakers’ pick to take the 2013 U.S. Open last month. Woods, however, failed to win either one of them, extending his major-less streak to 16 events. Yet despite those unmet expectations, Woods is again the favorite heading into next week’s Open Championship at Muirfield, where he looks to win his 15th...

Rory McIlroy‘s 2013 PGA Tour season was supposed to be another celebrated step toward his pending dominance of professional golf. Instead, the past seven months have been a parade of questionable play, unquestionably bad judgement, waning confidence and inconsistent performances that have added up to a frustrating winless season. Not only has the young Irishman’s progress stalled, but Rory...

Andy Murray is the toast of men’s professional tennis. Novak Djokovic remains the sport’s top-ranked player. The rising rivalry between the two is among the top storylines coming out of the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. If Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer hope to keep the top of the men’s game about the “big four” rather than the “new two,” the duo had better...

Woods, who comes to Muirfield still seeking his first major victory since 2008, is, at the very least, the bookmakers’ choice. He is a 7-to-1 favorite by...
