The PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup: Take It for What It Is

As we enter year six of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs, this highly touted series of events are finally beginning to gain some form of an identity. If you are looking for a true playoff similar to what you will find in the NFL, NBA or MLB, you should look elsewhere. Golf fans came to that realization several years ago. If you are attempting to understand the FedEx Cup point system, don’t…unless... 

Why Tiger Woods’ Driver Cost Him a 15th Major at Royal Lytham & St. Annes

The golf club that Tiger Woods hit a mere handful of times all week at Royal Lytham & St. Annes likely cost him the 2012 Open Championship. Woods’ fortunes, like those of many other great golfers, have always been largely determined by two clubs—his driver and his putter. Last week at Royal Lytham and St. Annes, Woods’ driver potentially cost him a 15th major championship victory.... 

Why Tiger Woods Has Less Time Than You Might Think to Catch Jack Nicklaus

Will Tiger Woods ever break Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major championships? It’s a question that’s been front and center on the minds of every golf fan and analyst since Woods’ dominant victory at the 1997 Masters. Between 1997 and 2008, most thought they knew the answer to that question; but four years, a reconstructive ACL surgery, a divorce and an embarrassing sex scandal... 

Tiger Woods: Why His Win at the Memorial Was Different

Tiger Woods has won three times in the past six months but his victory last Sunday afternoon at the Memorial Tournament was, in this writer’s opinion, Woods’ first real victory since 2009. Sure, he managed to defeat a field of 18 golfers at the Chevron World Challenge last December, but that was a field consisting of players bearing either signs of winter rust or pure exhaustion from the... 

Jack Nicklaus Can Hold His Head a Little Higher These Days

For 13 years most golf observers believed that it was a forgone conclusion that Tiger Woods would shatter every record in the book. Woods’ had dominated the game in a manner never before seen and up until his knee injury in 2008 had shown almost no signs of slowing down. During that same period of time, many began to overlook the accomplishments of Jack Nicklaus who, prior to Woods, had been... 

LPGA Leads Way in Addressing Issue of Slow Play with Morgan Pressel Penalty

We all knew that golf’s governing bodies would eventually be forced to address the issue of slow play. Thursday and Friday rounds on the PGA Tour are now taking upwards of six hours to complete, and even weekend rounds, where touring pros are playing in twosomes, are still taking nearly five hours to complete. What no one could have predicted, however, was that the LPGA would wind up leading... 

Golfing Great Byron Nelson and 1 Record That Will Never Be Broken

As the HP Byron Nelson Championship gets underway this week in Irving, Texas, it seems like an opportune time to explore a record set by Byron Nelson back in the 1940s that will never, ever be broken. If you think I’m referring to his 11 consecutive victories in 1945, you’d be wrong—although that record is also unlikely to be broken in this modern era of the game.   If you think... 

Did Kevin Na Cost Zach Johnson the Players Championship?

You couldn’t watch Kevin Na play golf last weekend and not feel bad for the guy. The poor fella was obviously struggling with some kind of mental block when it came to pulling the trigger and spent 10 hours on Saturday and Sunday attempting to fight off demons that had clearly taken hold of his game. All the while Na was trying his hardest not to be an inconvenience to his playing partners. “I... 

Can Kevin Na Overcome His Inner Demons to Win the Players Championship?

What Kevin Na managed to accomplish on Saturday afternoon at TPC Sawgrass was nothing short of amazing. The fact that Na was one of only three players in the field without a bogey on his card during Round 3 was not in itself amazing. The fact that only one player in the field posted a lower score than Na’s 68 on Saturday was not amazing, either. The fact that Na hit 79 percent of fairways and... 

Will The Players Championship Evolve into a Major?

Like the ground beginning to thaw in New England in late March and the Azaleas blooming in Augusta in April, each and every May, the debate begins raging over whether or not The Players Championship is golf’s “fifth major.” It’s a routine that’s as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. Although there’s no real evidence that The Players...
