Stars Like Rory, Bubba, Jordan Should Stay Alive for Weekend in New Match Play

The problem with match play is that it’s unpredictable. Anybody can beat anybody over 18 holes. Nick O’Hern beat Tiger Woods in the first round in 2007 and in the second round in 2005, for example.  It’s a system where anybody can have a bad day. When the top players get beat early, casual fans lose interest. Now the PGA Tour hopes there’s a fix for that. The new format. This... 

Jordan Spieth: No Guarantee He’ll Win Sunday; Woods, McIlroy Still Have Chance

While most of the county has been falling in love with Jordan Spieth’s golf game, he showed Saturday that his supposedly large lead was not safe enough to guarantee a victory on Sunday. He made enough mistakes to let his margin of six, and for a time seven, to slip to four. But even with the errors, he posted the lowest 54-hole score in Masters history, 16 under par. However, during the round,... 

Matt Every and Rulings Upend Stenson at Arnold Palmer Invitational

OK, it wasn’t politically correct, but Matt Every admitted that when Henrik Stenson missed his putt to tie at the 18th, he was thinking, “You’re already in (the Masters). That’s it. I need to get in.”   Stenson, in the top five in the world, already has his Augusta National invitation for the Masters in 2015. For Every, it was a back-to-back victory at the Arnold... 

McIlroy Has Uphill Battle to Best Henrik Stenson at Arnold Palmer Invitational

When it comes to who will win the Arnold Palmer Invitational, even Rory McIlroy, seven back of Henrik Stenson, has a chance for victory. Two other major champs tied with him in 12th place, Keegan Bradley and Louis Oosthuizen do too. The reason they have a better chance is because they have faced the highest test in golf: winning a major championship. No one knows how to play with nerves better... 

Rory McIlroy Has Dinner with Arnie; Goes Low in Round 2 with 5 Birdies

Rory McIlroy lived out the dreams of many amateurs and professionals when he had dinner with Arnold Palmer after his first round at The King’s tournament. It was complete with dessert, a banana split, at Palmer’s insistence. “I’ll be going to the gym this afternoon,” McIlroy said about working off the calories. The dinner, he said, lasted two-and-a-half hours. “He’s... 

Rory McIlroy Makes His Debut at Arnold Palmer Invitational, Shoots -2

It’s hard to believe that the current No.1 player in the world had not made it to Arnold Palmer’s tournament until this year. However, if Rory McIlroy‘s comments about the tournament to date are any indication, he may book a return trip. “I felt the reception I got out there today was incredible,” he said during the pro-am. “I know it’s my first time here,... 

Arnold Palmer Still on Top of Tournament Organization Despite Shoulder Injury

There’s a tradition on the PGA Tour that active players, even legends, do not have tournaments with their names in the title. So when Arnold Palmer considered himself retired in 2007, he put his name on what had been the Bay Hill Invitational. It became the Arnold Palmer Invitational, complete with his recognizable script as the tournament logo. However, that didn’t change his involvement... 

Bubba Watson on Being a Major Champion and Looking for a 3rd Green Jacket

“The first time you win any tournament, but win the Masters, I don’t know if you’ve ever won it, but first time you ever win it, it’s very difficult to handle,” Bubba Watson admitted. “You go back, you’re defending champ, media is all over you.” And that’s just for starters. Apparently, the winner is supposed to already know the tournament traditions... 

Why Davis Love Is Ryder Cup Captain: PGA from Mars, Fred Couples from Venus

If you’ve never read the groundbreaking book Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the idea that the PGA of America is Mars and Fred Couples is Venus might not make sense to you. But trust me, it has everything to do with what the PGA decided to do and why. It just doesn’t know it. First, some background. Relationship counselor John Gray’s No. 1 bestseller Men Are from Mars, Women... 

Surprise Decision by Ryder Cup Task Force: Maybe All We Need Is Love

The not-quite-official announcement of Davis Love III as the next US Ryder Cup captain was a little reminiscent of the Monty Python skit: “You never expect the Spanish Inquisition!!”   We never expected Davis Love. That is nothing against Love, who is one of the game’s stand-up guys, one of the people who takes the time to sit on PGA Tour policy boards and make considered...
