Fredrik Jacobson Captures First PGA Tour Win at Travelers Championship

CROMWELL, CT – 54-hole leader Fredrik Jacobson spent much of Sunday afternoon trying to keep his head above water while the likes of Ryan Moore, John Rollins and Michael Thompson were frantically chasing him down like a pack of galloping thoroughbreds.    Ryan Moore came flying out of the gate with birdies on five of his first seven holes, while Rollins and Thompson made their charges... 

BMW PGA Championship: All Eyes on Matteo Manassero

There is a story brewing at this very moment in Surrey, England that could wind up being the most epic victory by a young golfer since a skinny fella in a red shirt won the 1997 Masters by 12 strokes. Matteo Manassero, 18 years old, is currently tied for the lead with Luke Donald and Alvaro Quiros at six-under-par through 54 holes at the BMW PGA Championship. Casual American golf fans may not know... 

Tiger Woods: Will He and Mark Steinberg Follow Arnold Palmer and Mark McCormack?

Mark Steinberg, head of IMG’s golf division and Tiger Woods‘ agent for the past 12 years, has officially parted ways with IMG after contract negotiations broke down on Tuesday evening.

World Golf: It’s Time for Some Give and Take

If we expect players like Lee Westwood and Rory McIlory to attend events such as The Players Championship, it’s about time that the river starts running in both directions.   “I feel like since I’ve been out on TOUR that this is one of the tournaments that I would like to win the most right along with the majors,” Phil Mickelson said at last week’s TPC Sawgrass when... 

PGA Tour: The Curse of the 54-Hole Lead

Holding the 54-hole lead at a big-time event has recently turned into some kind of curse. At last week’s Players Championship we saw yet another Sunday come and go with the 54-hole leader posting yet another massive number. As Harry Caray might say, “Holy cow.” The last guy to actually lead a big tournament after 54 holes and close the door on Sunday was Louis Oosthuizen at the 2010... 

What Do Tiger Woods and Ben Hogan Have in Common?

What do Tiger Woods and Ben Hogan have in common? Well, not much other than they both completely dominated their era of golf. However, they might have a lot more than that in common during the coming weeks, months and years. In February of 1949, after having just won 11 events including the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in 1948, Hogan was involved in a car accident while driving with his wife in Van... 

Lee Westwood or Luke Donald Could Become No. 1 with a Win This Week

The comical saga of the Official World Golf Rankings continues this week in South Carolina and Indonesia. Lee Westwood and Luke Donald can each supplant Martin Kaymer as the world’s No. 1-ranked player with wins this week. Westwood can regain his perch atop the World Golf Rankings with a win at the Indonesian Masters, where, aside from Westwood, Thongchai Jaidee is quite possibly the next biggest... 

Rory McIlroy: Why His First Major Win Will Be Tougher after His Masters Collapse

Let’s be clear here.  Rory McIlory’s Sunday afternoon train wreck at Augusta National was nothing short of an epic collapse. In the 75-year history of The Masters, only three other comparable meltdowns come to mind: Ed Snead squandering a five-stroke, 54-hole lead in 1979. Greg Norman’s collapse in 1996 when holding a six-stroke lead heading into the final round. Ken Venturi’s... 

The Masters: Sport’s Last Truly Great Event

I’ve been to the Super Bowl. I’ve been to NBA playoff games. I’ve been to World Series Games. I’ve been to the U.S. Open Tennis tournament. I’ve been to the U.S. Open golf tournament. I’ve been to the PGA Championship. And last Sunday my uncle and I attended our first Masters.  It was a day comprising of one shock after another, and I’m not even talking...
