Early Storylines Starting to Develop Around the 2014 US Open

A U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 is always a special occasion. But will two U.S. Opens, men’s and women’s, in back-to-back weeks also be special? How that works is one of the leading storylines, as those national championships are now less than two months away. There most likely will be no Tiger Woods, meaning the chase to win the U.S. Open will be wide-open, just like the Masters was. Here... 

Predicting the Next Golfers to Become Multiple Major Winners

Golfers who win one major championship are obviously viewed differently than those who do not. Golfers who win more than one major are looked at even more differently than the one-timers. That second major title is something of a validation of that first one, even though a golfer who is able to persevere through everything required to win a major really doesn’t need it. It’s just how the... 

Luke Donald Falls Short at RBC Heritage: Will Former No. 1 Ever Be Elite Again?

There once was a man named Luke Donald who was the darling of the golf world. In 2011, he put together one of the greatest seasons in the history of the game and was rewarded with a No. 1 post in the Official World Golf Ranking. Donald played in 19 events, won twice, finished second twice and third twice. The most remarkable of the numbers he posted, however, were these: In those 19 events, Donald... 

Masters 2014: Separating Contenders from Pretenders Before Sunday’s Final Round

It was written repeatedly and talked about incessantly and, as it turns out, all of that was right on the money. The 2014 Masters, with just 18 holes, is definitely one of the most wide-open in a long, long time. There are 23 players within seven shots of the lead and nine players within three shots. That doesn’t necessarily mean all of those players are contenders. Augusta National Golf Club... 

The Biggest Question Marks for Golf’s Top Stars Ahead of the 2014 Masters

Everything points to the 2014 Masters being the most wide open in a long, long time. Why is that? Mostly, it’s because none of the game’s superstars are coming into the year’s first major on any kind of roll. There are questions of all sorts regarding the players who, on paper, look to be the best bets to be pulling on the green jacket Sunday night. Injuries, meltdowns, mental blocks... 

Biggest Storylines Heading into the Shell Houston Open

For a couple months at the beginning of each year, conversations about golf are often filled with Masters references. The first major of the year is always a big topic, especially now that the historic gathering in Augusta, Ga., is just a week away. But before we get to the lightning-fast greens and the intense pressure that goes along with winning a green jacket, there’s the Shell Houston Open. Not... 

Biggest Lessons of 2014 on the PGA Tour so Far

The world of professional golf is fine-tuning its sights toward Augusta, Ga., for the annual rite of spring, the Masters. That little get-together has always been thought of as the quarter pole in the PGA Tour season, the first of the four majors, and a time when players take stock of how the early part of the season has gone. It also gives us a chance to think about what golf his given us thus far... 

The 10 Golfers Most in Need of a Win Before the 2014 Masters

This week’s Texas Valero Open is the last opportunity for players to get into the field of the Masters by making it into the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings. This year, however, that’s really not an issue because only two players have a real shot that way: Richard Sterne and George Coetzee, 53 and 55. It’s not an issue because they’re not playing this week. Chesson... 

Do Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Tiger Woods Deserve to Be 2014 Masters Favorites?

One of these things is not like the other. Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Tiger Woods are being mentioned prominently as favorites in the Masters, the first major championship of the season. Two of those guys deserve to be in that conversation. One does not. In 2011, McIlroy was the leader at Augusta National through 63 holes. He followed that crushing experience on the back nine with T40 and T25 finishes... 

Golfers Under 25 Years Old Most Likely to Win the 2014 Masters

Considering how there are no real Masters favorites among the very best of golf’s elite, why couldn’t a player under the age of 25 win the first major of the season? It has been done before, you know. Tiger Woods won his first Masters at age 21 in 1997. The late Seve Ballesteros won the Masters in 1980 at the age of 23. Jack Nicklaus was also 23 when he put on a green jacket for the first...
