Tiger Woods has put himself in the driver’s seat for winning the FedEx Cup. But there are 29 other guys who want to bump him out of the way. The difficulty of overcoming the field is what motivates him to play golf. “The challenge of just trying to pull off a shot and the challenge to try and beat all the guys in the field is exciting for me. That is my rush when I play,” Tiger Woods...

This time of year, it’s all about the math, not just the score for a tournament. Right now, Henrik Stenson is leading in the FedEx Cup. But he is just 14 points ahead of Tiger Woods. At this week’s event, the BMW Championship being held outside Chicago, the winner gets 2,500 points, and 70th place is worth five points. If Stenson finishes middle of the pack and Woods does also, it’s...

We’re only a week and a day into the Web.com Playoffs that determine the second 25 PGA Tour cards for 2014, out of a total of 50, and already two guys with some experience say they like the old Q-School better. “I like the simplicity of the old Tour School,” Johnny Miller said. “I like the fact that a great player, let’s say a Ben Crenshaw, comes right out and finishes...

Phil Mickelson, the man who has everything. Beautiful wife, great family, fabulous career, the Big House, the Big Jet, the Big Corporate Contracts. And yet there are some things he knows are missing. What does the man who has everything want? Well, maybe a little prize called the Jack Nicklaus Trophy, given to the golfer voted Player of The Year. To get that, he needs more hardware. Mickelson has had...

If The Barclays was any predictor, the upcoming Deutsche Bank Championship should be exhilarating. Barclays was better than car crashes and dangerous pit stops at NASCAR, particularly in the last three hours. Had Tiger Woods not hit his ball into the junk on the 13th hole, which gave him a penalty stroke, he would have tied clubhouse leader Adam Scott to force a playoff. Had Matt Kuchar or Gary Woodland...

Tiger Woods probably had so much steam coming out of his ears after leaving Rochester, NY, that he didn’t need jet fuel for the plane home. It’s been a great PGA Tour season for him—five victories—but a lousy major season because Woods doesn’t include The Players in his major count. ( We, here in Ponte Vedra, count The Players since it’s the toughest field all year...

“It’s hard to win a major championship, let alone repeat a major championship,” Graeme McDowell said earlier this year. If it’s so hard to win majors, why were Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy able to make it look easy, and then why did it get hard for them? To win one, what is the right combination of ingredients? And why is it so hard for most golfers to do? Woods has said...

Lee Trevino is never at a loss for words, which is a great thing if you’re asking him to be a dinner speaker. He’s been a day laborer, a struggling pro, a major-winning golfer, a television analyst, a winning senior golfer and is known—along with Greg Norman—as one of the best ball-strikers ever to play the game. This week, he will receive the 2013 Distinguished Service Award...

When describing the length of the Sunday round at the 1983 Kemper Open, former CBS announcer Ben Wright said something like “See those ducks? They were mere eggs at the beginning of today.” Slow play, until recently, was one of the least discussed and most annoying aspects of golf. Now, it’s getting attention mainly because a 14-year-old amateur from China, Tianlang Guan, and a 21-year-old...

Jack Nicklaus is the yardstick professional golfers use to measure their accomplishments. While his record of PGA Tour victories has been surpassed by Tiger Woods, he still leads in major championship victories. And he still remembers what became his 17th major title, the 1980 PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Rochester, NY, where the PGA will be held in ten days. That was six years before his final...
