Tiger Woods’ Glutes: Is There Anything to His Comment About Their Deactivating?

When Tiger Woods withdrew partway through his first round at the Farmers Insurance Open, he cited back pain due to gluteal muscles that were “deactivated.” He made it sound like they were intercontinental ballistic missiles. “I was ready to go. I had a good warm-up session the first time around,” Woods said after leaving the course. “Then we stood out here, and I got cold—and... 

Tiger Woods: Does He Need a Completely New Game or Just More Practice?

Depending on whom you listen to, Tiger Woods either needs to go back to Butch Harmon or Hank Haney or just needs more practice. Aaron Oblehoser said on the Golf Channel (h/t Golf Digest‘s Jone Strege) after the first round of the Waste Management Open that Woods has the yips. “Tiger Woods can’t find his fundamentals,” Brandel Chamblee said, adding that in 2005 and 2006, Woods... 

Jay Haas and Bill Haas: Are They One of the Great Father-Son Duos in Golf?

With Bill Haas’ victory at last week’s Humana Classic, it might be time to give Bill and his father, Jay Haas, their due as being one of the most remarkable winning families in the history of professional golf. They are just so low-key that people don’t realize what they have accomplished. Jay and Bill Haas have played their careers against bona fide legends ranging from Jack Nicklaus,... 

Are 400-Yard Drives so Commonplace That Par Fours Are Now Par Threes?

With The Plantation Course at Kapalua in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to talk long ball again. At the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, nine drives went 400 yards or more. The longest was a tie, and you might be surprised as to who hit those shots: Geoff Ogilvy and Jason Day at 409 yards. Don’t you remember when 409 yards was a par four?  Every year, The Plantation Course has an... 

Zach Johnson: How Did Short-Hitting Zach Johnson Win Hyundai on a Long Course?

In the 2014 season, there were 999 drives of 348 yards or longer. Not one of them belonged to Zach Johnson. His average drive is so far back of that you almost need a range finder to locate it. Certainly a measuring device would come in handy if comparing Johnson’s typical drive, 273 yards, to the longest poke of last season, 424 yards, belonging to Bubba Watson.  The Plantation Course at... 

Jordan Spieth: Is He the Next Dominant Player to Watch on the PGA Tour?

When we think of dominant play in golf, we think of Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open by 15 strokes in 2000 or winning The Masters by 12 shots in 1997. It’s unusual for anyone to win a golf tournament by that large a margin.     So when Jordan Spieth won the Hero World Challenge by 10, it was attention-getting. He was double digits ahead of the next guy, who happened to be Henrik... 

Tiger Woods: What’s Next for His Short Game and His 2015 Schedule

In the next two months, Tiger Woods has some work to do on his game—particularly his short game. In terms of his calendar for the next few months, he said, “It’s a pretty full schedule.” That doesn’t necessarily mean “full” of golf. Woods has other obligations, such as the ribbon-cutting for his golf course design at Diamante in Mexico slated for this upcoming... 

Tiger Woods Is Still Sick; Jordan Spieth, Shoots 63 for 7-Shot Lead

The stories at the top and bottom of the leaderboard at the Hero World Challenge were very different.  At the lowest rung was tournament host, Tiger Woods, fighting nausea and actually vomiting during the third  round.  “Wasn’t easy and I fought hard,” Woods said. “That’s about all I had.”  At the top was the youngster, Jordan Spieth, who... 

Tiger Woods: His Next Major Starts Now at Hero World Challenge

Tiger Woods has been a man of mystery for most of 2014. Now, as the year concludes, he is teeing it up in what could be considered his next major. It’s a major because he will finally get a chance to see whether he is able to play high-level, professional golf again.         Even he is uncertain how his body will respond. “It’s going to be nice playing... 

Suzy Whaley: How Much Impact Will She Have as First Woman Officer of the PGA

When Suzy Whaley was little, it’s not likely that she looked at mom or dad and said “One day, I want to be an officer of the PGA of America.”    But now, as recently elected secretary of the organization, she brings influence beyond the title because she is the first woman in that capacity since the founding of the PGA in 1916.    Whaley’s new post...
