After four days of carnage out at Pebble Beach, the PGA Tour heads to the Northeast for the first time this season for the 2010 Travelers Championship. While last week we saw the best players in the world look more like weekend hackers than U.S. Open participants, this week we are bound to see more than a few birdies. Last year, Kenny Perry opened with a round of 61 and closed with a round of 63 en...

The carnage began with Dustin Johnson and quickly spread like a virus throughout the entire field. Not to sound overly harsh, but what we witnessed on Sunday evening was nothing short of the worst collective display of golf we will ever see from some of the best players on the face of the planet. After 54-hole leader Dustin Johnson had hemorrhaged six strokes to the field by the fourth hole, The...

You have to go back 14 years to find an instance where Tiger Woods was not the clear favorite to win a major championship. Ever since he made a mockery of Augusta National in 1997, the golf world has been well aware of just what this man is capable of doing. That being said, a lot has changed for Woods since 1997, with the most dramatic changes having come over the past seven months. Woods’...

Pebble Beach has been a pillar of American golf since the late 1920s, when it hosted its first USGA event (the 1929 U.S. Amateur Championship), and it has remained relevant for the past 71 years due in large part to it’s ability to keep the 21st century power game off of its majestic shores. Any U.S. Open requires an immense amount of skill to win. However, Pebble Beach will emphasis some skills...

The last time the U.S. Open was held at Pebble Beach was in 2000, when Tiger Woods won by 15-strokes and broke Old Tom Morris’ 138-year old record for the largest margin of victory at a major championship. From that moment on, it has been considered common knowledge that Woods “owns” Pebble Beach. Well, not so fast. You see, Woods could have been playing on the moon in 2000 and he...

2010 is the year of the Tiger, in more ways than one. But on the PGA Tour, 2010 has also been the year of the grooves. The new groove rules implemented by the PGA Tour with the intention of decreasing backspin on approach shots out of the rough prompted the largest outcry on tour since the emergence of metal drivers and belly putters. Phil Mickelson was accused of cheating for using a 20-year-old Ping...

Despite colorful 21-year old phenom Rickie Fowler tying a 36-hole scoring record at The Memorial (13-under 131, which was set by Scott Hoch back in 1987), the man formerly known as Eldrick was the one who stole the headlines on Friday evening. Tiger Woods finished the second round at three-under-par for the tournament, just inside the cut line and 10 shots behind Fowler, yet ESPN.com’s...

Contrary to popular belief, Tiger Woods did not transform himself from Steve Urkel into the Incredible Hulk overnight. With all the talk about Woods’ link with Dr. Galea and accusations of HGH usage, it has become convenient for people to place a photo of Woods in 1997 alongside a photo of Woods in 2010 with a large STEROID label stamped across them. Here is a slide show which consists of photos...

Since when has the PGA Tour turned into a kindergarten classroom? Can’t you just see Mr. Finchem sitting at the head of the class and saying, “Tiger and Phil need to be separated at all times because they don’t get along”? But Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are not five years old; they are grown men. So what would happen if these two players were paired together during a skins...

During the 1966 Masters, Jack Nicklaus first spoke of his desire to host a tournament like the Masters. So, in the early ’70s, Nicklaus went off and began creating Muirfield Village, which is named after the site of his first British Open title (Muirfield, Scotland) and is a half mirrored image of Augusta National (only with right to left holes replacing Augusta’s left-to-right holes because...
