When You Go to Paris, You Can Get Tired: Mickelson Withdraws from Memorial

Be careful if you visit Paris.   When you visit Paris, you can get jet-lagged. When you are jet-lagged, you can get tired. When you get tired from jet lag and you played in a pro-am or two, you find it’s hard to walk.  When it’s hard to walk, it’s hard to play 18 holes of golf if you are a professional golfer. When it’s hard to walk 18 holes of golf, it’s even... 

Why We’re Glad the Players Moved to May

Kathy Bissell When The Players moved to May from March, some people loved it, and some people just don’t like change.  But there are a lot of reasons to like this slot in the calendar for the biggest tournament on the PGA Tour. 1.  The weather.  The weather in March in northeast Florida can occasionally be in the 80s and sunny, but more frequently for The Players it was in the... 

Golf News: Lexi’s Prom, Colonial’s Wall, Girl Beats Boys in Top Ten

Kathy Bissell   10. Anthony Kim Out Citing chronic tendinitis in his left arm, Anthony Kim will miss the rest of the 2012 season.  It did not help when he tried to hit a errant golf ball out of shrubbery at the recent Texas Open.   9. Lexi Makes Prom How anybody as cool as Lexi Thompson would have to search for a Prom date is beyond most of us, but she posted a video seeking an upstanding... 

Tiger Woods at the Players Championship: Par-5s Haunt Tiger at Players

  Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.—Still struggling with his swing, Tiger Woods concluded The Players like Jekyll and Hyde, with a front-nine 40 and a back-nine 33.   “We were looking back on it and didn’t hit any bad shots, and here you are at two over for the day,” Woods said after his round.   Technically, he was one over, but you get his point. He said his week... 

Players Championship 2012: Will Rickie Fowler Win His Second in a Row?

Golf’s newest star, Rickie Fowler, vaulted up the leaderboard on Saturday with a third-round 66 that included seven birdies and only one bogey, a missed putt on the final hole.  Now, he is currently challenging veterans Kevin Na, Matt Kuchar, Zach Johnson and Ben Curtis.

Johnson, Na, Kuchar in Lead; Tiger, Phil Make Cut

Kathy Bissell Ponte Vedra Beach, FL–Carnage. Love the TPC Sawgrass or hate it, the water and sand and awkward lies and island green and alligator are all a part of the challenge of the biggest tournament on the PGA Tour. The course keeps professional golfers off balance, making them uncomfortable from start to finish.  Discomfort is what the TPC at Sawgrass does best. Big names have trouble... 

Friendly Rivalry: Rory and Rickie Rise to the Top

Charles Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, once wrote, “There’s no greater burden than great potential.” Two young guns, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler, know just what he meant.  They are fine, young talents who are now getting bombarded with questions.  How far they can go?  How soon will they get there?  Are they rivals? McIlroy and Fowler were in a playoff at... 

Phil Mickelson Reflects on His Hall of Fame Career

“Since I was a kid and first picked up my golf club, I’ve been living my dream,” Phil Mickelson said Monday night in his World Golf Hall of Fame induction speech.

Plus, 19 years, six continents and who knows how many golf courses. But life... 

Tiger Woods: 5 Keys to Redefining Himself at the Players

Tiger Woods had a rough go of it at The Players in 2011.  On Thursday morning, he shot a 42 on the front nine, re-tweaked his left leg and withdrew.  Woods had a bogey on the first, a triple on the fourth, another bogey on the fifth and a final one for good measure on the ninth. He immediately went to the physical therapy trailer and left the golf course. It was a shock to everyone who...

Tiger Woods tees it up this week for the first time since what even he would agree was a less than stellar performance at The Masters.  He’s at Quail Hollow, host for the Wells Fargo Championship, which, though relatively new, has given us many outstanding champions in the past, including Woods himself in 2007.  After Woods performance at Augusta many people are now wondering what...
