2014 US Open Television Ratings May Have Been Lowest in History

It was clear to most that between Tiger Woods being at home rehabbing from back surgery, Phil Mickelson out of contention and Martin Kaymer running away with the tournament, the television ratings for the 114th U.S. Open Championship were going to take a substantial hit. That being said, few would have expected just how abysmal those ratings would turn out to be. The overnight television ratings for... 

2014 U.S. Open: When Did American Golf Fans Lose Their Manners?

If you are one of the 90 percent of U.S. Open patrons that were model golf fans over the weekend at Pinehurst, please do not continue reading this article. However, if you are one of the 10 percent of U.S. Open patrons that were chanting “U.S.A.” all weekend, were cheering Martin Kaymer’s bad shots and were purposely failing to acknowledge Kaymer’s great shots then I implore... 

Tom Watson Says That Tiger Woods Is an Automatic Ryder Cup Pick If Healthy

During an interview with Jeff Ritter of Golf Magazine, 2014 U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson confirmed that if Tiger Woods is healthy, he will be an automatic captain’s pick. “I’ve said it before that he’s an automatic pick,” Watson told Ritter. “You can’t have a player of that caliber not on the team.” While Watson was quick to confirm his selection... 

When Will Phil Mickelson’s Sponsors Begin Jumping Ship?

One would have to assume that Phil Mickelson’s financial services sponsors cringed at the sight of one of their spokesmen standing in front of the media and addressing questions related to an insider trading investigation while wearing a KPMG hat and Barclays logo on his shirt. None of Mickelson’s sponsors, which also include Exxon Mobil and Amgen, have made an official statement with regards... 

Phil Mickelson Investigated by FBI, Golf’s Real Action Remains Outside the Ropes

Forget the fact that the game of golf is completely void of a superstar right now. Forget the fact that Adam Scott reached the No. 1 position two weeks ago in the World Golf Rankings while not having won an event anywhere in the world in over six months. Forget the fact that Scott’s win at last week’s Crown Plaza Invitational was the first time all year that a player ranked within the top... 

Is Rory McIlroy Back After His Win at the BMW PGA Championship?

Just days after calling off his engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, Rory McIlroy rallied from seven strokes back to capture his biggest win since the 2012 PGA Championship. McIlroy, who for the first time in quite a long time appeared to be calmly focused on the task at hand, carded a final-round 66 for a one-stroke victory over fellow Irishman and close friend Shane Lowry at the BMW PGA... 

Adam Scott Has Shown Us Why the World Golf Ranking Has Become Meaningless

Adam Scott bolted into the No. 1 position in the Official World Golf Ranking this week by, well, doing almost nothing over the past six months. It was as if Scott’s practice sessions, television watching and lounging around on the couch last week were so impressive that they allowed him to just tear on past Tiger Woods and into the No. 1 position in the World Golf Ranking.   Scott hasn’t... 

Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki Call off Their Engagement

Rory McIlroy has called if his engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki just days after the couple sent out their wedding invitations. “The problem is mine,” McIlroy said in a statement released earlier today, as reported by Ryan Lavner of golfchannel.com. “The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realize that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails.” In... 

Why the Players Championship Will Evolve into a Major

The debate over whether or not the Players Championship should be considered a major is as much a part of golf’s spring tradition as the azaleas blooming at Augusta National and championship dreams coming to die in the murky waters surrounding the 17th green at TPC Sawgrass. Many fans and analyst are quick to dismiss this debate as nothing more than the PGA Tour attempting to boost their flagship... 

The PGA Tour Has a Winning Problem

Despite a complete nosedive in television ratings every time Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are absent from a tournament, the PGA Tour has been attempting to convince the general public that professional golf is in a great place with a new crop of “up-and-coming stars.” At times, it can even feel as if the PGA Tour’s push for this “next generation” of “stars”...
