Now that’s not the way you’d expect a major champion to close out a golf tournament he’d been leading for 66 holes. Adam Scott disappointed not only his legion of fans who have patiently waited for him to turn into the superstar he seems destined to be, but himself as well. What happened Sunday afternoon in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational was not catastrophic by...

Bubba Watson won the 2012 Masters in miraculous fashion, sling-shotting a pitching wedge out of the woods and onto the green to set up a stunning victory. Since then, however, Watson has become the firecracker in the box that turned out to be a dud instead of skyrocketing to bigger and better things. Until he won in January at the Northern Trust Open, it had been 41 tournaments and just short of two...

You know we’re talking about something special when we start ranking a player’s collection of wins at a certain tournament. And like him or not, Tiger Woods has done some very special things in golf. The fact that he’s racked up eight wins in Arnold Palmer’s annual tournament at Bay Hill Club and Lodge is just short of amazing. The fact that he’s also won the WGC-Bridgestone...

Anything that has Arnold Palmer’s name associated with it is something special just because of whom Palmer is in the game of golf. And that’s why his tournament, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Fla., has become such a special event as Palmer advances in age. Just like players used to do when they played in the tournament named after Byron Nelson...

I was thrilled to see how well Henrik Stenson played in the second half of the 2013 season. He overpowered golf courses and opponents, won money titles on both sides of the Atlantic and, as bit of frosting on the cake, he won the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus. Why would that put a smile on my face? Well, I would hate to have Stenson, who seems to be an alright guy, be remembered mostly for stripping...

It’s always interesting to play the “stock up, stock down” game as it relates to the PGA Tour. When you think about it, there’s a loose parallel between watching the stock market and watching the PGA Tour. The stock market, for many people, dictates how their lives might play out financially. Watching the PGA Tour? Well, that can dictate how fantasy picks might do each week....

Tiger Woods‘ spiral, yes it’s gone on long enough to be a spiral, has brought about a tremendous amount of conversation about just what the end to this is going to be. Will he lose his grip on the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings? It’s been his home for a long, long time, but he certainly doesn’t have the vice-like grip on that spot he used to. Those rankings are...

Here we are a little more than a week out from Tiger Woods‘ withdrawal from the Honda Classic, an act spawned by back pain and one that sparked worldwide concern as to Woods’ future and the future of the game itself. The core back issues Woods is dealing with, and the accompanying spasms, were not going to go away in the few days he had for treatment and rest before teeing it up Thursday...

You knew as soon as “The Donald” got involved with the Doral resort and renamed it the Trump National Doral Miami that the WGC-Cadillac Championship would never be the same. And now that tournament week is here, there is all sorts of buzz surrounding this South Florida golf retreat. Will Tiger play? What kind of reaction will the pros have for the complete makeover done by Gil Hanse since...

It’s usually very easy to pick an early favorite to win the first major of the year. You ask yourself: Is Tiger Woods still playing on the PGA Tour? OK, that was easy. Well, at least it was easy prior to 2008 when Woods was a good pick every April. Now he’s not a good pick in any month that ends with a “Y.” There’s always Phil Mickelson. He’s won three of those green...
