Three straight days of incredibly high winds in Kapalua? OK, the PGA Tour was playing on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so that kind of thing isn’t entirely unexpected. A thick, blinding blanket of fog that rolled in off the Pacific and just happened to hover over Torrey Pines for 12 hours? That can also happen from time to time during the winter season on the West...

At first glance many golf fans might assume that the WGC-Accenture Match Play is a grueling 108-hole match-play event where the winner has to defeat the top 64 players in the world.

Well, here we go again. Brandt Snedeker is the latest professional golfer to go on a hot streak, which of course means that the fans and media must anoint him as golf’s “next big thing.” It’s as if golf fans and the media have entered into some form of a formal contract—a guy wins a tournament or two and he has to be labeled as golf’s next big thing, no questions...

Note to self: never, ever, ever tune into early round coverage of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am again. That is, of course, unless I feel like spending three precious hours of my day watching B-list celebrities and CEOs turn historic Pebble Beach Golf Links into their own personal hackfest again.

In a recent Sports Illustrated article Singh openly admitted to using deer antler spray. The spray contains the chemical IGF-1, which is on the PGA Tour’s banned substance list. IGF-1 is banned by virtually all professional...
