Windy Conditions Beat Up Field, Including Tiger Woods, at Bay Hill

2011 Transitions Championship: Justin Rose Shoots Second 65 to Take Lead

With two victories on the PGA Tour, Justin Rose no longer has to overcome questions of how he will perform in the final round.  “Lit up the back nine yesterday and came out today and it was much the same feeling,” he said. “I think I’ve had two runs of four birdies in a row which is obviously pretty rare, back-to-back days or back-to-back nines.”   Rose had...

Tiger Woods: When Will He Win His First Tournament of the Year?

Guys used to tease me that if they did not get their drives to the ladies’ tee, they would have to play “Texas Rules,” which they said meant playing the rest of the round with their you know what out.  Luckily the PGA Tour has rules against that or Tiger Woods would have had a situation in the second round when his tee shot on the second hole hit the rough short of... 

Fred Couples Still No. 1 in Senior Rankings

Kathy Bissell Bernhard Langer increased in points, but did not climb higher in the rankings with his victory at The ACE  Classic. The top four players are separated by less than .6 of a point.

Tiger Woods Needs More Competitive Reps

You’d never think it would be possible to learn anything about golf from watching swimming, but over the weekend, watching the Grand Prix Swimming from Indianapolis, former Olympic Gold freestyler Rowdy Gaines explained why the top stars were racing now.  He said the reason 2008 Olympians like Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte were swimming is that competing was different than training.  They...
