What’s Behind the PGA Tour’s Youth Movement?

It seems to me we’re on the precipice of golf’s latest new age. Such a thing happens in all sports as the passage of time makes it necessary for one generation of stars to slide gracefully from the spotlight to allow room for the new stars to move in. Arnold Palmer and Gary Player did it so players like Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson could take their place at the top of the game. Greg Norman... 

What Does Tiger Woods’ Back Injury Mean for His 2014 Season?

Even before Tiger Woods withdrew from the Honda Classic on his back nine Sunday afternoon, my view of his 2014 season was not all that cheery. Yes, he was coming off a five-win season in 2013, and yes, his main goal during the offseason was to rest that 38-year-old body so that he’d be ready for the rigors of 16 to 18 tournaments he’d most likely play in 2014. How’s that working... 

Will 2014 Be Rickie Fowler’s Breakout Season?

You remember Rickie Fowler, the young gun from Oklahoma State, the kid with the long, floppy hair under hats with bills far too big. All kinds of talent, a great amateur career, handsome, dirt-bike riding fanatic in his younger days, Rickie Fowler has it all. Even with all of that, he has just one win since he hit the PGA Tour, causing a considerable stir in the world of golf. At the ripe old age of... 

Ranking the Best Golf Tournaments That Aren’t Major Championships

Talk about trying to choose the prettiest girl in the beauty pageant. The best golf tournaments on the PGA Tour is a daunting list. The tour has long had rules, regulations and standards that individual tournaments must follow and achieve, but those became virtually irrelevant when those tournaments started making upgrades to their operations, their courses, their player services and just about everything... 

2014 Honda Classic: Preview and Predictions for PGA Tour Event

There’s nothing like plenty of Florida sunshine, some of those gentle ocean breezes and a great field to make a perfect setting for a golf tournament. And that’s exactly how it’s setting up at the Honda Classic, where seven of the top eight players in the Official World Golf Rankings will tee it up on PGA National Golf Club’s famed Champion Course. Big names, a tough golf... 

Epic Final of WGC-Accenture Match Play Highlights Golf Stars of Tomorrow

These guys really are young. Their birth certificates will verify their age. The question is: How in the world can players so young be so good in the very difficult game of professional golf? The latest example of this was on display under the setting sun in the Arizona desert, where it took 22 holes to determine a champion in the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. The combatants... 

Ranking the Biggest Surprises from WGC-Accenture Match Play’s Opening Day

The possibility of upsets is a great attraction for an event like the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. The biggest names can be quickly erased in the first round, and there was some of that on Wednesday. And there were results like Jonas Blixt, an 11th seed, knocking off sixth-seeded Keegan Bradley, 2 and 1, and 10th-seeded Billy Horschel whipping seventh-seeded Jamie Donaldson,... 

Ranking the Best Match Play Golfers on the PGA Tour

Because most professional golfers play only a couple of match play events each year, it’s hard to build up much of a resume. Those who do have been around awhile and have established themselves as premier players. You won’t find many youngsters on a list of the top 10 match play golfers on the PGA Tour. It takes a solid game, a bulldog-like mentality and the ability to make big shots... 

WGC-Accenture Match Play 2014: Preview and Prediction at Dove Mountain

It is an event designed to feature the best 64 players in the world, who are seeded like the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, and then face off in a rare match-play tournament. It’s a style of golf that encourages risk/reward play, and the Golf Club at Dove Mountain is a course that sets up well for that style. It’s called the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship,... 

Is the PGA Tour’s Wraparound Schedule Good or Bad for Golf?

OK, I understand the fall portion of the PGA Tour’s wraparound season was a loser in many ways in its previous form. Small purses (relatively speaking), lame fields, no FedEx Cup points and no invites to the Masters for winners. And of course there’s the matter of money, but isn’t there always? Those tournaments, formerly known as the Fall Series, were beginning to feel the pinch...
