Perhaps it was the Ryder Cup task force. Perhaps it was the endless parade of vice captains that would have had the PGA of America renting out an additional floor at the team hotel. Perhaps it was a combination of a red-hot American team combined with a poor European team that arrived with six Ryder Cup rookies to Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. Whatever the reason may be, the curse...

The Open Championship is perhaps the most challenging of the four professional majors. While the overall carnage might pale in comparison to what is typically experienced at majors such as the U.S Open, the Open Championship provides an altogether different kind of challenge.

Rory McIlroy first arrived on the radar screen of most golf fans when he posted a score of 68 during the opening...

Oakmont Country Club is widely regarded as one of the best U.S. Open venues in the country, and it certainly did not disappoint at the 116th playing of the U.S. Open Championship. This major had it all. There were gruesome injuries, epic rain storms, Tin Cup-esque stories, meltdowns, triumphs and a little bit of controversy sprinkled on top.

Oakmont Country Club has the reputation of being one of the most difficult golf courses in America. World No. 2 Jordan Spieth recently backed that claim following a practice round at Oakmont last month, describing the course as “the hardest test in all of golf,” according to Tom Smith of the Kansas City Star. He added, “This is arguably the hardest course in America....

It wasn’t long after Tiger Woods arrived at his first PGA Tour event that he began leaving both fans and competitors awestruck by his incredible power. Spectators could often be seen climbing trees just to get a brief glimpse of one of Woods’ mammoth tee shots, while competitors were likely wishing they could somehow hide behind those same trees in order to escape the embarrassment of watching...

Tiger Woods turned 40 years old this past December, which has many of us who have followed him since his amateur days asking ourselves where in the world the past 25 years have gone? His last major championship title came nearly eight years ago. That was three months before the world financial crises, six months before Barack Obama was elected president and three years before Jordan Spieth would even...

There’s an old saying that anything becomes normal if it happens often enough. Tiger Woods may have initially shocked the world his 12 stroke victory at the 1997 Masters and then four consecutive major titles between 2000 and 2001. But as he continued to rack up one major championship win after another, somewhere along the line Woods’ absurd domination of the professional game started to...
