Woods, Mickelson, Spieth and Others: How Chambers Bay Will Play for U.S. Open

The county-owned Chambers Bay Golf Club, site of the U.S. Open, sits on what was once the largest sand and gravel operation in the country. No more. What remains from those days are the concrete structures, like a modern-day Stonehenge or the ruins of an abandoned, ancient Greek town. Today, picturesque golf holes crawl across the undulating landscape, around and through the stone-like relics, ready... 

How Tiger Woods Shot the Highest Score of His Professional Career

When Tiger Woods, a man who has 79 PGA Tour victories, second-most in the history of professional golf in the U.S., shoots an 85, the highest score in his career, you want to know how it happened. Only Woods can decipher why it happened. That has to be left to the experts.   “We’ve seen something quite shocking today,” Nick Faldo said during the telecast. “This is... 

Tiger Woods Barely Makes Weekend; Previews Chambers Bay for U.S. Open

Tiger Woods just squeaked under the cut line at The Memorial, his first tournament since The Players. By his own admission, he is still not where he wants to be with swing and his game.  “This is nice to get out here and play and test it and see what it’s like, and also to fight like I did and get myself back in the tournament,” he said. “I need to do a little bit of work... 

Jack Nicklaus Shares Memories with Opening of USGA Nicklaus Room

The USGA Museum now has a room dedicated to the career of Jack Nicklaus. It is only fitting because Nicklaus won eight USGA events in his career, including four U.S. Opens. During the ceremonies to open the exhibit, Nicklaus reminisced in some surprising ways about a few USGA tournaments he had played. While most golf fans would expect to hear about his great victories, Nicklaus chose to talk about... 

Rory McIlroy Would Be Disappointed If He Doesn’t Win a Major This Year

Rory McIlroy already has three victories in 2015, but he said at the BMW PGA Championship that he will be “disappointed if I wasn’t to win one of the next three majors.” At his most recent PGA Tour victory, the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, his play wasn’t superior. It was astonishing. It was the amazing kind of golf that McIlroy produces when he... 

Tiger Woods Assesses His Performance at the Players; Calls Course Brutal

Tiger Woods still has a lot of rust to remove from his game—more than a couple gallons of CLR cleaner and a wire brush will remove. Even he knows it. The TPC Sawgrass is a great mirror for anyone’s game, and if Woods didn’t know what he needed to improve before The Players, he knew afterward.  “It’s a brutal golf course,” he said. His play had ups and downs. “It... 

Hass and Garcia Have Experience to Win Players; Kirk and Kisner Are Contenders

While there are names such as Chris Kirk and Kevin Kisner on leaderboard at the 2015 Players Championship, it is much more likely that the winner will come from a group of experienced golfers a few shots back, such as Bill Haas or past champ Sergio Garcia.     The reason is that anybody can have a great third round, but it takes a little more than that to get into the winners circle... 

Tiger and Rory In; Phil and Jordan Out; Rickie Motivated by Overrated Remark

Although Jerry Kelly and Kevin Na top the leaderboard at The Players, the PGA Tour breathed a big sigh of relief when Tiger Woods played his way back into the tournament after shooting three over par on Thursday. Rory McIlroy held steady, finishing just three back of the lead, while Phil Mickelson and Jordan Spieth could not find enough game to make the weekend. Rickie Fowler proved he is for real,... 

Tiger, Phil Succumb to TPC Sawgrass’ Treachery; 18th and 17th Hardest for Field

North winds blew in unfriendly gusts at TPC Sawgrass during the first round of The Players Championship, dashing many hopes for good scores. The 17th and 18th holes punished the rich and famous. Nearly three dozen scores of double bogey or worse were posted on the holes with the 18th earning the title of hardest on the course. It averaged a score of 4.65. The 17th showed its teeth, grabbing 21 golf... 

Rory, Jordan, Bubba: Unknowns Abound, Picks Tough at Cadillac Match Play

The suspense is over. We now know how the Cadillac Match Play is going to work, although we don’t know whether we will like the results or if the players will like the results. Phil Mickelson, who withdrew over the weekend, is obviously taking a wait-and-see approach. Tiger Woods is spared the decision, being higher than 64 in the world rankings at this juncture. The rest of us will get to decide...
