Best 25 Golfers Who Skipped The Fitness Van

For the first century that golf was played competitively by professionals, fitness was something to be disdained by all except Gary Player.

Tiger Woods: He Swings, He Tweets, He Talks; Is This a New Tiger?

A lot of people are making a big thing out of Tiger’s recent antics. Tweeting. ESPN Radioing.  Newsweeking. This is PR 101, really, and SHOULD have been done last year.  He would have lost fewer sponsors and fans would have forgiven him quickly.  Who knows, he might have just needed to buy a ring bigger than the one Kobe bought, lived in separate houses and then eventually arranged... 

20 of the World’s Best Golf Courses

He won early in the year in San Antonio—at the new TPC course—and again in Singapore, to go along with his late-season win in 2009 at the Australian Open.  That is three victories in less than 12 months, just after Greg Norman made him a captain’s pick for the 2009 Presidents Cup.  It must have been just what Scott needed.  Scott became one... 

Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and the Controversy Over No. 1

Kathy Bissell The Great and Powerful Oz of the World Golf Rankings has finally spoken.  Ian Baker of the European Tour, who calculates the rankings weekly, answered criticism by Butch Harmon, who insisted Martin Kaymer deserved to be No 1, not Lee Westwood. “If we just prepared it on the points won so far this year, Woods would not be in the top 50 and Martin Kaymer would be comfortably...
