Tiger Woods has struggled at the 2011 Presidents Cup, coming away from the opening two sessions without recording a single point. While Tiger is the only American without a single half point, Dustin Johnson, who’s probably the American’s best player, has only recorded a half point. Despite all of that, the Americans sit with a 7-5 lead after two sessions. Three sessions, totaling...

Before going on, I need to say that it’s not my intention to bash Tiger Woods. Actually, I am a fan of Tiger’s. I am not now going to sit with the benefit of hindsight and say that Tiger needed to be kept of the team because he’s 0-2. Certainly, Fred Couples didn’t pick him thinking that he would start 0-2. Frankly, I’d also be quite surprised if he didn’t turn it...

The Solheim Cup’s history has gone in a dramatically different direction that what we’ve seen in the Ryder Cup. In the Ryder Cup, the European squads have tended to do extremely well. The Americans won convincingly in 2008, but have otherwise fallen short for most of the last 20 years. Since winning in 1993, the only other American win came in 1999’s “Miracle at Brookline,”...

The PGA Championship is set to tee off on Thursday, August 11. While the PGA Championship is often the most overlooked of the four majors, it is the last major of the season. With that, it earns the label of “Glory’s Last Shot,” which always adds to the drama. This will also be the first major to feature Tiger Woods since the Masters. With that comes the possibility of a weekend pairing...

The British Open is halfway done. As is typically the case with the Open Championship, the only predictable element has been its unpredictability. Golfers who got Thursday’s afternoon times got the better end of the draw. The weather on Thursday morning was much more difficult than the afternoon. Naturally, Thursday afternoon’s golfers got the early morning time on Friday. The times are...

Is the British Open the most forgotten major? Well, that depends on who you ask. To an American, the answer is probably yes. To anyone else, it’s probably a no. That “honor” would probably go to the PGA Championship. The British Open is somewhat forgotten in the U.S. because, frankly, it’s not that easy to follow. True golf fans will follow it, but a casual golf fan is simply...

The 2011 US Women’s Open at the Broadmoor’s East Course in Colorado Springs, Colo., is halfway done. This is the second time that the East Course has played host to the Women’s Open. The first came in 1995, when Annika Sorenstam won the first of her three US Opens and 10 career majors. This year, Colorado Springs has been hit with a lot of rain over the week, which has caused several...

The second round of the 2011 US Women’s Open has resumed at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Currently, Mika Miyazato is through 11 holes at six under (par) for the tournament, three shots clear of I.K. Kim who is in the clubhouse at three under (par) and four shots better Ai Miyazato (no relation) and Karrie Webb, who are halfway done with their second rounds. While the first two rounds...

Rory McIlroy is the odds on favorite to win the British Open. That’s really undeniable. He’s not at the level that Tiger Woods was at in 2000, but he’s the closest thing to Tiger that we’ve seen since Tiger’s debut. But just for now, let’s assume that McIlroy won’t win. Who is the favorite now? Well, the top two golfers in the world are Luke Donald and Lee...

Golf is a sport with a rather comprehensive rulebook. Depending on who you ask, it’s either a charm or an annoyance that the rules used by the best pros in the biggest tournaments are the same used by Sunday hackers. For me, it’s both a charm and annoyance. It’s nice to be able to compare scores with the professionals but, realistically, the golf played on the millions of...
