Tiger Woods Gets Win No. 75 at Torrey Pines Playing Ugly Golf

It was not pretty. It was exciting in a nail-biting, what’s-he-going-to-do-to-himself-next kind of experience. But it was victory No. 75 on the PGA Tour. Yet after carving out an eight-shot lead over his nearest competitor, Tiger Woods started to struggle. “I hit the ball well. Pretty much did everything well this week, and built myself a nice little cushion,” he said. “I had... 

Tiger’s Rule, Rory’s Clubs, Phil’s Taxes: What a Way to Start 2013

It’s a soap opera. And yet people say golf is boring. Honestly, we can’t get enough of this stuff. The No. 1 and No. 2 golfers in the world missed the cut in Abu Dhabi, and Phil Mickelson doesn’t like taxes (per Mike Walker of Golf.com). Of the three, at least Phil Mickelson shot respectable scores at the Humana Classic, and we agree with him. Nobody likes taxes.  Should we... 

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy & Phil Mickelson, Hopefully, Ready for 2013

 Three of golf’s most popular guys, Tiger, Rory and Phil, are teeing it up this week, albeit on opposite sides of the globe. So while we are getting blurry-eyed from watching too much golf, what are the big three thinking as they head into the new season, and what should we watch for from them? The biggest story this week is Rory McIlroy’s switch to Nike equipment. It will be fascinating... 

When Is $1 Million Not Enough? Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson Pass

At the opener of the 2013 PGA Tour season at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, the last time it will be the season opener, there are many big–name no–shows.    Absent are Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, Tiger Woods, Justin Rose—Nos. 1 through 4—as well as Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, guys at the top don’t... 

8 Reasons Colin Montgomerie Belongs in the World Golf Hall of Fame

Love him or hate him, Colin Montgomerie is one of the five players who carried the European Tour to victory in multiple Ryder Cups and who stayed in Europe for his career to give support to that tour.  He’s been a polarizing force among fans, media and sometimes within the player ranks. But that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be in the World Golf Hall of Fame. The eight biggest... 

Glorious Finish to Silly Season with Davis Love and Dru Love Winning Father/Son

The Father/Son is one reason why we love Silly Season and hate to see it end, especially when a great team like Davis and Dru Love win it over formidable former champions Josh and Larry Nelson with a birdie by young Dru Love at 18.  The Father /Son is considered a near major in many households. In families where there is more than one golf-playing child, the decision of who to play can be one... 

Tom Watson Wants Tiger Woods on His Ryder Cup Team

In what became the worst kept secret in golf for three days, Tom Watson was announced as Ryder Cup captain for the 2014 matches that will be played at Gleneagles in Scotland.  Watson has won five Open Championships and nearly won a sixth in 2009 when he was in a playoff with Stewart Cink, the eventual champion, at Turnberry, the site of his victory over Jack Nicklaus in 1977. “I’ve... 

Long Putter, Big Driver, Hot Ball Solution: Pro Rules and Am Rules

McDowell Slogs Through Rain to Beat Woods, Bradley and Furyk at World Challenge

Graeme McDowell admitted he’d played too much golf this fall. He was exhausted. Yet this week, he mustered enough of the good stuff to battle drizzle and take the top prize at Tiger Woods’ tournament, the World Challenge, at Sherwood CC in Thousand Oaks, CA. “The start today was incredibly difficult. The ball was going nowhere,” McDowell said after his victory. “It really... 

Long Putter Ruling Emphasizes R&A and USGA History of Too Little and Too Late

Kathy Bissell. Balderdash. The idea that the USGA and R&A changed the rule on what constitutes a stroke because they did not like the look of the long and belly putters does not pass the sniff test. I don’t care what they tell each other. They changed the rule out of pure annoyance that finally someone won the US Open and the British Open using long putters.   They didn’t mind...
