2011 Masters: Top 10 Sleepers to Take Home The Green Jacket

After a seven-month wait since golf’s last major championship, the Masters is finally upon us. Predictably, most of the talk heading into this playing of the 75th Masters—known as the Augusta National Invitational up until 1939—is revolving around Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, the European Invasion and the young guns. But as we have seen time and time again at major championships,... 

The Masters: Why Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson Have Upper Hand at Augusta National

The new trend in professional golf seems to be the unrelenting interest in the game’s youth movement. You can’t get two sentences into an article or 20 minutes into a golf telecast without seeing or hearing the words “young guns”. Rory McIlroy is one of the young guns. Nick Watney’s win at the WGC-Cadillac Championship was just another demonstration that the young guns... 

Golf’s Decline in America: Work/Life Balance Is the True Culprit

Golf is on the decline in America.  That reality has finally smacked us in the face like a two-by-four. The number of core American golfers (those playing eight rounds or more per year) has fallen between three and 4.5 percent every year since 2006. Since 2007, the number of golf courses closing in America has significantly outnumbered the number of new course being built. This downward trend...

The 2011 Masters: Early Favorites

During the first quarter of the golf season, it’s all about one tournament and one tournament only: The Masters. Everything players do during the first three months of the season is done with an eye on Augusta. How much golf do they want to play before Augusta?  How will they create a schedule that will give them the best chance to peak for The Masters? How will they use the Florida swing... 

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson: Sit Back and Enjoy the Show

Forget about Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Ryo Ishikawa, Graeme McDowell, Martin Kaymer and the rest of the so-called “young guns” in the world of golf. There are two truly great golfers and only two truly great golfers that will emerge from this generation: Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Even Mickelson probably needs to accomplish a little more to be considered one of the... 

Rory McIlroy: A Bit of Advice for the Young Pup

Here’s a bit of advice for Rory McIlroy: win something before criticizing others who are far more accomplished golfers. Win a major, just a single major. Hold it together both mentally and physically when leading a golf tournament heading into the weekend. This is an excerpt from an essay that McIlroy recently wrote for golf.com: “I wasn’t playing against Tiger Woods when he had that... 

European Golfers: Where Have the Rules of Trash-Talking Gone?

There are no formal rules when it comes to trash talking, but if there were, the first rule would undoubtedly be that no athlete can talk the talk until they can walk the walk. Based on the amount of gibberish coming out of the mouths of Lee Westwood, Rory McIlory and Ian Poulter—directed mostly towards Tiger Woods and the poor state of his game—you’d think that these three men have... 

Tiger Woods: Has He Finally Hit Rock Bottom?

Has Tiger Woods finally hit rock bottom? Sure, you could make the argument that he had hit rock bottom when he checked himself into a rehab facility in early 2010.   Or you could make the argument that he hit rock bottom when he missed the cut at the Quail Hollow Championship after a second-round score of 79. Or you could make the argument that he had hit rock bottom at the Bridgestone Invitational,... 

Tiger Woods Spit at the Dubai Desert Classic: Who Cares?

Tiger Woods spit on the 12th green at the Dubai Desert Classic‒let’s suspend him from all tours for a period of six months. Heck, let’s make him golf’s version of Pete Rose and ban him from the game forever. But before we do all that, we better get Horatio Caine over to Dubai to take a sample from the 12th green and send it over to forensics to see if Woods did indeed spit on...
