Tiger Woods vs. Rory McIlroy: Challenge Matches Are Still Alive and Well in 2012

Almost 160 years ago, the likes of Old Tom Morris, Young Tom Morris and Willie Park Sr. used to earn virtually all of their money through “challenge” or money matches set up by wealthy individuals looking for a bit of entertainment while holidaying along the Scottish Coast.

The Ryder Cup: Time for the PGA of America to Shake Things Up in 2014

Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. Every two years the PGA of America selects a Ryder Cup captain, and every two years the PGA of America does the same thing while somehow expecting a different result. The PGA of America typically selects a captain between the ages of 45 and 55 who has been a member of at least... 

How the 2013 PGA Tour Fall Series Will Impact the Masters

2012 Ryder Cup: Let the Blame Game Begin

Whenever an unfortunate event presents itself, our first instinct is always to channel all of the blame towards a single target.

The FedEx Cup: 6 Years on and Still Searching for a True Identity

We are now six years into the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs, and the point system and general format are just as baffling today as they were back in 2007.

Snedeker tied for 19th at the Masters,... 

Rory McIlroy: Why the Sports World Is Not Giving Him the Respect He Deserves

There’s an old saying that anything becomes normal if it happens often enough. Twenty years ago if you told your friends that a player would come along and win 14 majors and 65 PGA Tour events within the span of just 12 years, they would have laughed at you and asked if you were feeling OK. Jump ahead to 2012, and we are wondering why that guy who won 14 majors and 65 PGA Tour events in 12 years...
