In Defense of Bubba Watson at the ALSTOM Open De France

Kathy Bissell The French can be mean and snippy. This week, they attacked a guy who cried because he was so happy to be on the Ryder Cup team and represent his country.  He said he didn’t care that he didn’t win the PGA Championship because being on the Ryder Cup team was his victory.  Although the French gave us help in our American Revolution and sent us the Statue of Liberty,... 

Tiger Woods: 10 Reasons We Should Care About Golf Without Him

Tiger Woods brings a lot of people to the game of golf who ordinarily wouldn’t give a fig about the sport.  When Woods isn’t playing, sometimes they disappear.  That’s unfortunate, because as we have seen in the last 12 months, there are a tremendous number of exciting players today. We only have to look at the recent winners in the US. Woods’ absence has allowed other... 

Golf: 10 Reasons We Should Be Glad Luke Donald Is No. 1

1. He actually smiles a lot. Luke Donald seems to enjoy playing golf, at least when we see him near the top of the leaderboard, which has been a lot lately. He smiles, he waves, he tips the visor. He’s not full of himself, but he is rightfully proud of his accomplishments. 2. He’s a gentleman and acts like it. Donald is kind of old school in that he acts like fictitious British gentleman.... 

Tiger Woods on Crutches, How He Hates Ice & How He Targets Jack Nicklaus’ Record

At the press conference for the AT&T National today, Tiger Woods said that he has been resting and has had his foot in a boot for the Achilles tendon that is strained.  He has been on crutches to take the pressure off his back, which gets sore when he has to limp while wearing the boot. “I’m basically going to start probably by end of next week, start strength training, trying... 

Tiger Woods: Where and When Will He Play Golf in 2011

Fans of Tiger Woods want to know when he will play golf again. The answer for the rest of 2011 is not soon and not often. It all depends on his left leg. For the near term, that means The Byron Nelson, Memorial and Fed Ex St. Jude are out of luck. There’s no Woods for them in 2011. Woods has said that he will try to play the US Open in mid-June. Set your DVRs for June 16. If it goes well, he... 

K.J. Choi and 10 Lessons We Learned at the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass

K.J. Choi would never have been anyone’s pick to win The Players Championship. He was so far under the radar that he would have been below ground. The “smart” money was on Luke Donald; the sentimental money was on Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson. But Woods pulled out after nine holes, and Mickelson could not craft a birdie barrage that lasted despite posting a 31 for one nine. So when... 

The Players Championship: Worst Hole Scores at the TPC Sawgrass

Kathy Bissell The TPC Sawgrass has been the home of The Players for 30 years. In that time, there have been great scores, like the tournament record -24 by Greg Norman in 1994, or the course record shared by Norman and Fred Couples who both shot 63s. But those are the good numbers. The TPC Sawgrass is really known for the dreaded others. The doubles, triples and unmentionables. Here are those who hold... 

Phil Mickelson Shoots 31 on Back, 40 on Front Nine at The Players Championship

Special from The Players Championship – Ponte Vedra Beach, FL Phil Mickelson had another day of up-and-down golf on the penalizing TPC Sawgrass during The Players. However, he is not out of it for the weekend because big scoring swings, like the ones he had today, are possible for anyone to experience on the remarkable Pete Dye golf course. He is now nine shots back of leader David Toms, who... 

John Cook Retains His Hold on the No. 1 Power Rankings

Through The Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf April 29, 2011 John Cook retained his hold on the No. 1 spot in the Power Performance Rankings with a victory at the Outback Pro-Am. Fred Couples is No. 2. Tom Lehman, who won the Mississippi Gulf Classic, moved up to No. 3.

Lee Westwood Takes No. 1 World Golf Ranking

Lee Westwood has reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the World Golf Rankings, and this time he did it with a victory.  It was over a weak field, but it was a victory. The victory is not the issue. The weak field is.    Garry Smits of the Florida Times Union portrayed it in a way that just makes you laugh out loud, comparing Westwood’s win with Donald’s playoff loss: “Not for...
