When Rory McIlroy joined the Nike Golf team in early 2013, he was prepared to go out and “Just Do It.” Yet since the former world No. 1 has been swinging The Swoosh, it’s been a whole lot more of “Done Blown It” in 2013.

Man, how I hated report card day. The good was never good enough and the bad was always unexpected enough to make the repercussions two times as worse. That said, there’s no more honest a day than when report cards get issued. What was done right, where the wrong occurred and what needs to be improved were the themes of that roller-coaster day every time around. With the PGA Tour now just beyond...

In the wake of an absolutely horrid performance in the U.S. Open his past weekend, it’s time for Tiger Woods to stop shrugging off the results and take a long, hard look at what’s gone so terribly wrong for him in major championships. First and foremost, he can start by letting go of his Jack Nicklaus chase and focusing on winning just the major in front of him. No matter how bad he wants...
