Tiger Woods: Dubai Desert Classic Could Have a Major Impact on His Confidence

The European Tour has taken a page out of the PGA Tour’s new 2011 pairing book this week at the Dubai Desert Classic where the world’s top three players – Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Tiger Woods – will be paired together during the first two rounds. The PGA Tour, in the hopes of garnering some more interest during the first two rounds of tournaments, has thrown together... 

Golf’s Lost Career Grand Slams

It is common knowledge amongst golf fans today that five men have achieved the career grand slam (Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen), while Bobby Jones also achieved a version of the grand slam during his historic 1930 season. There’s just one small problem with this commonly accepted view—it’s not necessarily accurate. Three other men have achieved... 

Phil Mickelson: Why 2011 Could Be a Monster Year

Phil Mickelson is eating meat again. That alone should be enough to convince us that 2011 is going to be a big season for Lefty.   Add in a healthy family, an arthritic condition that is now under control, a renewed love for the game and a struggling Tiger Woods, and 2011 could very well be the biggest year of Mickelson’s career. There have been two quotes made by Mickelson over the past... 

Tiger Woods: This Is Not Your Average Slump

Over the past year, we have seen words such as “worst” and “highest” appear in the same sentence as the name Tiger Woods more times than we ever thought possible. Call it what you will: a slump, a transition period to a new swing, etc. And tell yourself that it’s happened before: 1998-1999, 2002-2004, etc. If you’re a Woods fan and your middle name is optimism, then... 

The Players Championship As Golf’s Fifth Major? Not Even Close

Renowned sports writer John Feinstein once said that the Players Championship is not golf’s fifth major because there is no fifth major, and that statement has never rung truer.     Both Lee Westwood and Rory McIlory have said that they will not be attending the 2011 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Could you ever imagine the first- and seventh-ranked players in the world... 

Tiger Woods: Just How Important Is The 2011 Season?

Just how important is the 2011 season for Tiger Woods in terms of his quest to break Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major championship victories? Well, here’s a statistic that puts that question into perspective. Woods just turned 35 on December 30th.  Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson are the only two players in the history of golf to have won as many majors after the age of 35 (36 and older)... 

Martin Kaymer Wins in Abu Dhabi: Here We Go Again

We’re only a few weeks into the 2011 golf season, yet it feels like the 2010 season never ended. The Europeans continue to dominate big-time events, Phil Mickelson is still trying to find his game, PGA Tour events still seem to be lost more often than they are won and Tiger Woods continues his free fall down the World Golf Rankings. Lee Westwood may be hanging on to his No. 1 ranking, but it’s... 

Tiger Woods: Top 5 Questions for the 2011 Season

Following the most tumultuous year of his career, Tiger Woods will begin his 2011 season next week at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. This will be the first time Woods has returned to Torrey Pines since his epic 2008 U.S. Open victory, which also happens to be the last time he hoisted a trophy at a major championship. The 2011 season could very well wind up being the most important season... 

PGA Tour: When Does Last Season End and This Season Begin?

In case you haven’t heard, and my best guess is that you haven’t, the PGA Tour season began last weekend in Kapalua, Hawaii, where Jonathan Byrd became the first American in a decade to win the PGA Tour’s season opener in Hawaii, or was it the final event of the 2010 season, or does it really matter anymore? Being that the 2010 season ended just three weeks ago, most players had enough... 

PGA Tour: Is It Time To Reconsider Appearance Fees?

Want to know why the likes of Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer decided to stay in Europe rather than join the PGA Tour in 2011? Well, it’s not because of the weather. It’s not because they enjoy the long trips to the Middle East, Asia and America. And it’s not because they’re disinterested in the highly lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs where $10 million is awarded to...
