Tiger Woods‘ win at the Memorial Tournament on Sunday left him in a tie with Jack Nicklaus for second place on the PGA Tour’s all-time wins list, but still trailing “The Golden Bear” where it matters most. In the majors. Tiger has 14 major championships to his name, compared to 18 for Jack. The last time Tiger took home a title from one of golf’s four most prestigious...

Is Tiger Woods “back”? Or was his win at the Memorial Tournament just another blip on the erratic radar of golf’s biggest draw? We won’t know for sure for some time (i.e. until the 2012 U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco). Not that the Twitter machine is waiting to spew out proclamations after what was a remarkable performance by The Golfer Alternately Known as Eldrick...

It’s back to counting baby steps for Tiger Woods, this time at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. What choice does he have? Or rather, what choice do we, who are still waiting for Tiger to be Tiger, have? He’s coming off the worst three-tournament stretch of a professional career—a 40th at the Masters, a missed cut at the Wells Fargo Championship and a 40th at the Players Championship—in...

Roger Federer is a master of all things tennis, clay courts included. When Rafael Nadal isn’t involved, anyway. Federer furthered his reputation as a fantastic player on clay with a win at the Madrid Open and appeared to be well on his way to doing the same at the Italian Open in Rome. That is until his second set against Juan Carlos Ferrero, in which the Swiss maestro appeared tired and unfocused,...

What’s wrong with Tiger Woods? Plenty probably, though little of it, if any, should have anything to do with his performance at the Players Championship this past weekend. Tiger finished in a tie for 40th, at one under par, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. and was never so much as in the running. While Matt Kuchar, Rickie Fowler and Luke Donald were grinding their respective ways toward the top of...

More than enough fuss has already been made over the disappointments from The Players Championship. From Tiger Woods struggling over the weekend to Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell failing to make the cut, there’s no shortage of negativity on which all the Nancys and Neds could easily seize. But what about all the sparkling performances at TPC Sawgrass? All told, 44 players finished in the red....

Don’t call it a comeback, but…well, Serena Williams is anything but done. Or, at least, would appear to be after demolishing Victoria Azarenka to win the 2012 Madrid Open on Sunday. Williams appeared as powerful as ever in dominating Azarenka—the No. 1 ranked women’s tennis player in the world. She routed the 22-year-old Belarus native, 6-1 6-3, to claim her second tournament...

Another week, another disappointing performance from Tiger Woods. And perhaps, another opportunity to finally turn our attention to the rest of the golf world, to those other sweet swingers known collectively as “the field.” To 23-year-old Rickie Fowler, whose game has finally begun to catch up to his Justin Bieber-esque cachet. To Luke Donald, who will be No. 1 in the world again after...
