In case you haven’t realized, every other September the entire golf world heads off to La La land. It’s called Ryder Cup fever, and it’s a mental illness that seems to affect the minds of even the most knowledgeable golf fans, writers, and analysts. Case in point—Charley Hoffman. Hoffman, who could easily pass for Harry Dunne, had an absolutely spectacular round of golf on Sunday. The...

There’s a lot at stake this week in Boston: – Five times the number of FedEx Cup points – Ryder Cup implications – Jockeying for a spot in the 30-man...

When Colin Montgomerie selected Padraig Harrington as one of his three captain’s picks for the 2010 Ryder Cup, it was as if Monty had just selected Jean Van de Velde to hit a shot over a burn to save the world. Uproar spread like wildfire from the shores of Scotland all the way to Paramus, NJ, where The Barclays was being held. People were downright shocked over Montgomerie’s decision to...

PARAMUS, NJ – If Martin Laird had won the 2010 Barclays, it would have been as a result of his six-under-par round of 65 on Saturday. But unfortunately for Laird, very few golf tournaments are won on Saturday. The 2010 Barclays was yet another reminder that golf tournaments are rarely decided before the back nine on Sunday. Some may say that eventual winner Matt Kuchar was the beneficiary of...

PARAMUS, NJ – We all know what happened to Dustin Johnson the last time he teed it up in a professional golf tournament. Just in case you’ve been living in a cave for the past month, Johnson had a little run-in with a bunker on the 72nd hole at the PGA Championship…or was it not a bunker at all, or did it used to be a bunker before being trampled down to flat ground by 120,000 spectators? That...

PARAMUS, NJ – It’s been exactly a year since the last time I followed Tiger Woods from inside the ropes, and much has changed since that time. Adoration and hero worship has turned into encouragement and support. Outside the ropes conversations about Woods’ chip-in on the 16th hole at Augusta in 2005 or his putt on the 72nd hole of the 2008 U.S. Open have now turned into comedic speculation...

With 36-holes completed at the 2010 Barclays, here’s a list of players that are hot and not heading into the weekend. Hot: Jason Day After tying for 10th at the PGA Championship three weeks ago, Day is once again making headlines. Day is currently leading The Barclays at eight-under-par through 36-holes after posting back-to-back rounds of 67. Although the 22-year-old Australian native won his...

For the first time all year, Tiger Woods is not facing an uphill battle after his opening round. Woods went out and blistered an extremely difficult golf course early yesterday morning with a six-under-par round of 65, and as of now, no one has really made a leap past Woods on the leaderboard. Scoring is always better during the morning rounds. The greens are receptive and have not yet been trampled...

It’s amazing what one great round of golf can do for a man’s confidence. According to a report from ESPNNewyork.com, when asked after his press conference today at Ridgewood Country Club whether he still believes he will break Jack Nicklaus record, Woods responded by saying “absolutely.” That’s a far cry from three weeks ago when Woods was questioning whether or not he...

Think Tiger Woods is done, finished, kaput? Well, think again. Just days after finalizing his divorce with Elin Nordegren, and less than 24 hours after admitting that off-the-course issues had taken a toll on his golf game, Woods went out and blistered Ridgewood Country Club with a six-under-par round of 65, his lowest round of the year. Sixty-five may not sound all that impressive when considering...
