2015 Masters: Why Jordan Spieth’s Scoring Records Are Not Quite What They Seem

Jordan Spieth has officially reached superstar status in the game of golf. There is absolutely no question about that. At the age of 21, Spieth managed to hold off some of the biggest names in golf to become just the fifth player in history to go wire-to-wire at the Masters. Spieth’s commanding victory last week at Augusta National deserves a great deal of praise, and it will almost certainly... 

2015 Masters: Do Not Count Tiger Woods out of Contending at Augusta National

My, how foolish one would be to completely rule Tiger Woods out of contending for his fifth green jacket next week at Augusta National. First and foremost, it has become abundantly clear that Woods is intending to play the Masters next week. Buzz of Woods’ impending decision to attend his 18th Masters as a professional began circulating on Monday morning when his plane was spotted at the Augusta... 

Will Rory McIlroy Face Tougher Competition Than Tiger Woods?

Whenever critics attempt to bring Tiger Woods’ career accomplishments down a notch or two, they almost always play the competition card. Critics will often proclaim that Woods faced a level of competition far weaker than many of the game’s all-time greats from previous generations, such as Jack Nicklaus. While this argument may hold some weight, one could also quite easily contend that... 

Tiger Woods’ Rapid Decline Is Not as Shocking as It May Seem

In a matter of just four years, Tiger Woods went from winning eight PGA Tour events between 2012 and 2013 (which earned him a PGA Tour Player of the Year award in 2013) to having difficulty rolling his ball onto the green from 15 feet away in 2015. This collapse that Woods has experienced may seem sudden, extreme and almost unfathomable to many golf fans. But while a case of the chipping... 

2016 Ryder Cup: Is Davis Love III the Best Man for the Job?

On Monday evening, Tim Rosaforte of Golf Channel reported that Davis Love III will be named captain of the 2016 United States Ryder Cup team. Rosaforte said that the PGA of America will make a formal announcement on February 24 at the PGA of America headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Following yet another embarrassing loss last September at Gleneagles, the PGA of America organized a... 

How Tiger Woods’ Career Might Have Turned out Differently

Over the past 19 years, Tiger Woods has changed swing coaches more times than most golfers have changed their spikes. For those of you not keeping a running tally, Woods is now on his fourth coach and is attempting to win on the PGA Tour with his fifth different golf swing. Being employed as Woods’ swing coach has been just about the most insecure job in the game of golf over the past two decades.... 

Tiger Woods’ Statement Reveals Very Little

Tiger Woods may be the most talented politician in America today.   The moment Woods was carted off the golf course last Thursday at Torrey Pines, the wheels of speculation began to turn. Will Woods attend the Masters? Will Woods play again this season? Will Woods ever be healthy again? Forget Jack, will Woods even break Sam Snead’s record of 82 PGA Tour wins? So what did Woods do to address... 

What Professional Golf Will Look Like After Tiger Woods

Last Thursday, we witnessed the all-too-familiar sight of Tiger Woods being carted off the golf course due to an injury. In Woods’ past nine events, he has had six missed cuts or withdrawals and two last-place finishes. Woods hasn’t won a PGA Tour event in 17 months and hasn’t won a major championship in more than six years. Add an injury report that more closely resembles that of... 

Patrick Reed Could Be Just What Golf Needs Despite Controversy

Just when Patrick Reed was beginning to move on from that self-inflicted top-five-player-in-the-world fiasco, he once again finds himself right smack in the middle of golf’s latest controversy.    This time the controversy revolves around allegations made against Reed in an upcoming book, Slaying the Tiger: How Golf’s Young Guns Took Over the Sport, written by Shane Ryan. An excerpt... 

Tiger Woods’ Latest Slump Is Different from the Rest

Throughout the history of golf, very few players have ever made a graceful exit from the game. Whereas the ultimate decline of athletes in most other sports typically begin with a loss of speed, power and explosiveness, the decline of most golfers almost always begins from 20 yards in. Ben Hogan suffered from what could only be described as a case of the anti-yips late in his career. While the yips...
