Harbour Town Golf Links, Hilton Head, S.C.—Tomorrow, it’s predicted to blow at Hilton Head Island. Leads have been lost and tournaments won depending on who got the best of the wind and weather. Look no further than the British Open in 2002 when Tiger Woods—among others—couldn’t handle the worst of the weather and Ernie Els finished before the bad stuff started. It...

It’s a different kind of tradition here than The Masters. The RBC Heritage is where golfers come to lick their wounds after getting beaten up by Augusta National. The yachts and sport fishing boats bob gently at the docks of the small harbor in the shadow of the famed red and white lighthouse. Coveys of preppies, young and young at heart, stroll the walkways and fairway carrying ubiquitous...

In golf there are two really bad words. Words that are unspeakable. Not curse words. Regular, ordinary words that make professional golfers quake in their soft spikes or nubs. One starts with an S and one starts with a Y. And with those clues, you know it’s Shank and Yip. Some golfers are so superstitious that if they see anyone hit an S-word, they turn away, fearful they’ll...

Orlando, Fla. — Watching Tiger Woods is giving me mental whiplash. He hits a good shot. He hits in the water or sand. He misses a putt. He makes a long-par save. Give me a break. Really. It’s not the same kind of tough golf watching as it was in the days of Greg Norman or Fred Couples, both of whom caused their fans to carry a handful of antacid tablets, but it’s in...

From 1997 to 2008, when Tiger Woods crept up a leaderboard, others started falling back. They were sure he could advance and stomp on them. He was sure he could advance and stomp on them. And they knew he knew. But now the fear is significantly lessened, if not gone altogether. For that reason, the biggest obstacle Woods has to face to get to 19 majors and 83 victories may...

Orlando, FL — Tiger Woods is four back from leader Justin Rose at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He played with Rose and Ernie Els, and they along with the rest of the morning groups, experienced chilly and windy conditions that elevated scores for the first couple hours of play. After that it was just the difficulty of the golf course that got in the way of low scoring. “I...

Tiger Woods is setting his sights on reaching the pinnacle of the men’s game once again. Woods was No. 1 in the world for a total of 623 weeks, off and on, from 1998 to 2010 (mostly on). A total of 623 weeks is an astonishing length of time, longer than some PGA Tour careers. And this week, he has a chance to get back to the top. As Tiger said today at Bay Hill, To get back to No....

Orlando, FL — Brandt Snedeker had finished third in the season opener, finished second twice—once to Tiger Woods and once to Phil Mickelson—and won at Pebble Beach. Then he pulled some rib muscles and has been sidelined since. For the last five weeks, he’s been a professional watcher. He watched golf on TV while his family move everything into a new house. Snedeker’s...

When Tiger Woods hoisted the WGC Cadillac trophy, no doubt he was enjoying the moment. “It feels good, especially to play that well this entire week, on a difficult setup,” he said. “The greens got really quick out there today. And if you left the ball in the correct spot though, you could be pretty aggressive and you could shoot a good number.” Adam Scott proved that by posting...

Tiger Woods leads a stellar field at Doral‘s Blue Monster. But it’s who’s chasing that will make Saturday at WGC Cadillac at Doral one of the most exciting days in golf so far this season. Phil Mickelson, who loves to beat Woods, is two back. Sandwiched in between and paired with Woods is Graeme McDowell, another golfer who has topped Woods in the past. If that weren’t enough...
