Is Sergio Garcia Really a Villain?

Sergio Garcia can be called a lot of things. He can be labeled a whiner, a finger-pointer, even an underachiever. Yet in the aftermath of the ugly escalation of his feud with Tiger Woods, does the Spaniard deserve to be called a villain? Here’s what we think we know: Garcia isn’t a racist worthy of our contempt or a victim in need of our sympathy. That said, the jury is most certainly... 

Tiger Woods, Now’s the Time to Take a Stand for Social Change

Tiger Woods is getting a second chance to make a real difference. This time around, as one of the world’s most influential athletes, he should be ready to stand up and accept the challenge. The question is, however, whether Tiger has it in him to publicly wage an offensive against racial stereotypes, insensitivity and flat-out bigotry. Or will he again shy away from the opportunity as he did... 

Ranking the 10 Most Difficult Courses on the PGA Tour

By and large, choosing the most difficult golf courses currently playing host to PGA Tour events is like trying to rank how badly one MMA champion can beat you compared to another. You know they are all tough; it’s just a matter of one degree to another when ranking their potential to do harm. To wit, there’s not a single PGA Tour layout that doesn’t challenge and often get the better... 

Ranking the 10 Biggest Surprises from the PGA Tour in 2013

The first half of 2013 really has seen it all. Unexpected accomplishments, unforeseen struggles, the emergence of new personalities and headline-grabbing controversies on and off the golf courses have made for an entertaining past five months.

5 Traits Every Great Golfer Must Possess

Professional golfers are not, and rarely ever have been, elite athletes in the traditional sense. Early in his career, Jack Nicklaus smoked cigarettes on the golf course for crying out loud. Seriously, the next time you see Steve Stricker run a 40-yard-dash in 4.5 seconds please let us know. Ditto that on Rory McIlroy dunking a basketball from the free-throw line…or just at all for that matter. Instead,... 

Why Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia Hate Each Other

The mutual disdain between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia erupted this past weekend at the 2013 Players Championship, but the animosity—hatred even—between the two has been boiling just below the surface for over 13 years. What likely started as two bruised egos as far back as 2000 has grown so much over the years that neither Garcia nor Woods could keep their dislike for each other in the... 

10 Biggest Takeaways from the Players Championship

Tiger Woods wins for a second time as a professional at TPC Sawgrass. Sergio Garcia causes a stir first by calling out Tiger on Saturday and then faltering in front of him on Sunday. A PGA Tour rookie comes from nowhere to challenge Woods until the final hole. There was plenty going on in the 40th edition of The Players Championship and even more to take away from the game’s most significant... 

Is Tiger Woods on Pace to Be the Greatest Ever After 300 Career PGA Tour Starts?

Tiger Woods’ already-historic PGA Tour career turned 300 at The Players Championship this weekend, and with that anniversary comes yet another measuring stick by which to judge today’s top-ranked golfer against the world’s greatest players that have preceded him. In golf, numbers tell the tale whether it’s that of a hole, round, season and, yes, even career. This past Thursday,... 

Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia: A Tale of Converging Paths

The first time Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia challenged each other in a meaningful tournament, Tiger won the battle but Sergio stole the stage. Since that memorable tussle at the 1999 PGA Championship at Medinah Country Club, however, Woods has owned the game’s spotlight while Garcia has wilted under it, failing to discover the full measure of promise he appeared to have. Saturday at The Players... 

Players Championship 2013: Odds and Final Leaderboard Predictions

It’s never easy predicting the winner of any golf tournament, especially one with the type of world-class field gathered this week for The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. That said, Players history tells us to bet on proven and experienced golfers who know their way around the Stadium Course and its challenging stretch of closing holes.
