It Is Time to Stick a Fork in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship

Back in 1999, the general concept of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship seemed like a fantastic idea. The tournament was meant to bring a March Madness-type feel to professional golf, while offering fans a unique opportunity to watch the world’s top 64 golfers face off against one another in a match-play format. Things were certainly looking bright for the WGC–Accenture Match Play... 

Augusta National Is Forced to Remove Eisenhower Tree Following Ice Storm

Money, power and privilege can certainly control many aspects of American life, but it evidently cannot control Mother Nature. Augusta National Golf Club was forced to remove the Eisenhower Tree—named in honor of Augusta National member and former United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower—from the 17th hole over the weekend due to damage sustained during an historic ice storm that swept... 

Phil Mickelson Highlights the Risk in Chasing Down Appearance Fees

Make no mistake about it, the reason why we see the likes of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson competing in tournaments such as the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship and the Omega Dubai Desert Classic has very little to do with a desire to expand their competitive horizons and a whole lot to do with cold hard cash. These early-season European Tour events are played at mediocre golf courses and pay a winner’s... 

Tiger Woods Is Dead Even with Jack Nicklaus Heading into the 2014 Season

About a week-and-a-half ago, during the Golf Channel’s telecast of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Johnny Miller was asked by Rich Lerner whether or not he believed Tiger Woods would break Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major championship titles. Miller quickly responded to Lerner’s question with a simple “nope” before going on to explain how Woods would need to essentially... 

PGA Tour: Is Jimmy Walker the Next Jason Dufner?

After nine years on tour and at the age of 34, Jimmy Walker finally appears to have shaken that journeyman status, which is a feat that very few professional golfers ever manage to accomplish. Walker’s win on Sunday afternoon at the Sony Open in Hawaii, where he posted a back-nine score of 30 during the final round and birdies on four out of his final six holes, was his second PGA Tour victory... 

World Golf Hall of Fame Has Made Correct Decision to Review Election Criteria

Back in October the World Golf Hall of Fame officially announced that there would be no 2014 induction ceremony. Thank goodness for that. The induction ceremonies have been postponed indefinitely while the World Golf Hall of Fame undertakes ”a comprehensive review of several of its processes.” The ”strategic review” is ”focused on an evaluation of the criteria and process... 

Tiger Woods’ Performance Last Sunday Was Exactly What We Should Have Expected

While some might have been shocked to watch Tiger Woods post rounds of 72-70 last weekend and miss a three-foot putt to lose to Zach Johnson on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff at Sherwood Country Club, close observers of the game didn’t even blink an eye at what transpired over the weekend at the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge.   In fact, Woods’ weekend play right on... 

Have the USGA and R&A Made Things Worse with Decision 18/4?

The USGA & R&A have officially decided to address the issue of viewers calling in penalties after having witnessed the penalty occur through the use of an HD television replay, at least in relation to an illegal movement of the golf ball. This is an issue that has been driving ardent golf fans crazy for years and has wreaked havoc on some of golf’s biggest events. Last week, in a joint... 

Does Tiger Woods Need to Break Jack Nicklaus’ Record of 18 Major Titles?

There is no question that Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 career major championship titles is the pinnacle of professional golf. Golf’s four professional majors have been, and continue to be, the most important golf events in the world. That being said, they are not the only important professional golf events in the world, and perhaps we often pay too much attention to how many major titles... 

Tiger Woods and Brandel Chamblee Are Both Right…and Wrong

By now, most of the golf world has heard about the feud between Tiger Woods and Brandel Chamblee. It began following a Golf.com article in which Chamblee all but came straight out and accused Woods of cheating. Chamblee’s article, which gave out year-end grades to most of the top players on the PGA Tour, was published on October 15th under the title “Brandel Chamblee’s PGA Tour Season...
