With Each Additional Injury, Tiger Woods Moves Further Away from Jack Nicklaus

As Tiger Woods fell to his knees in severe pain after hitting his second shot into the water on the par-five 13th hole yesterday afternoon, one could not help but think that Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major championship victories is slipping further from Woods’ grasp by the day. Woods will be 38 years old in December, which is not completely over the hill for a professional golfer, but... 

Does Liberty National Actually Suit Tiger Woods’ Game?

Tiger Woods made no secret of his dislike for Liberty National back in 2009 when the Barclays first visited this former New Jersey landfill turned swanky Wall Street hangout. While speaking to reporters after his first ever round at Liberty National, Woods described the course as “interesting.” When probed further as to whether or not the course was interesting in a good way, Woods just... 

The 2013 FedEx Cup Playoffs: Accept It for What It Is

I enjoy the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Ok, I said it—but please hear me out as to why I have actually begun enjoying this monstrosity of a playoff system over the past several seasons. The FedEx Cup was initially launched in 2007, and I spent the first four years more or less laughing at this so-called PGA Tour playoff system. Tiger Woods decided to skip the first-ever FedEx Cup playoff event at Westchester... 

Where Does Phil Mickelson Stand Amongst the All-Time Greats?

Professional golf has been played in at least some capacity since 1860 when the first ever Open Championship was held at Prestwick Golf Club. Since that time the number of truly great golfers can literally be counted on two hands. Only three players have ever won more than 10 major championships, and only 19 have won more than five. Prior to the 2013 Open Championship, Phil Mickelson was right on the... 

2013 U.S. Open: Will Merion Force the USGA to Visit More Classical Courses?

What do you get when you put 156 modern day touring pros on a classical American golf course which challenges every aspect of their game? You get the Merion Massacre. Heading into the 2013 U.S. Open, many so-called “experts” had predicted that the top players in the world would tear apart Merion’s short 6,996 yard East Course. And when Mother Nature dropped more than three inches... 

Tiger Woods: The Road to 19 Has Become a Lot More Difficult

Tiger Woods was supposedly one of the favorites heading into the 2013 U.S. Open. Merion was meant to be Woods’ kind of course—a shorter course where he could play small ball and tactically take apart this classical American gem in a manner similar to what he did at The Players Championship just a month ago. As Woods began to struggle, and then struggle some more, people were actually shocked.... 

Why the Anchored Putting Ban Is Essentially a Done Deal

Last Tuesday, the USGA and R&A officially announced that anchored putting strokes would be banned in January 2016 under Rule 14-1b. USGA President Glen Nager issued the following explanation for this addition to the Rules of Golf: Rule 14‑1b protects one of the most important challenges in the game of golf:  The free swing of the entire club.  The traditional stroke involves swinging... 

Tiger Woods vs. Sergio Garcia Feud Tells a Tale of Two Careers

If there was ever a perfect example of the differences between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods, it is this current on-going feud between the two star golfers. This entire ordeal began on the second hole during round three of the Players Championship. Woods had pulled his tee shot into the left rough while Garcia had found the fairway. While Garcia was in the middle of his swing, Woods, who was more than... 

Why the Players Championship Will Never Be Golf’s Fifth Major

Each and every May, a debate rages as to whether the Players Championship is golf’s fifth major and, if not, whether the PGA Tour’s flagship event will ever evolve into a major championship. This debate has been going on for decades and has become a spring tradition unlike any other…oh wait, that’s the Masters, which actually is a major championship.   While some casual... 

Is Guan Tianlang China’s Version of Francis Ouimet?

Just two weeks after Guan Tianlang become the youngest player in history to make the cut at the Masters, he went out and shocked the golf world yet again last week by making the cut at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans. Guan opened with rounds of 72-69 to make the cut on the number at TPC Louisiana, becoming the youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event since 1900. Just to put Guan’s...
