Will Cheyenne Woods Be the Next Face of Women’s Golf?

The jumping to conclusions has already begun. With a victory in the Australian Ladies Masters on Sunday, Cheyenne Woods has been elevated to the next “it” in women’s golf. At least in the minds of some, who believe the niece of Tiger Woods is now on the fast track to superstardom. In an attempt to slow that high-speed train down for just a minute, does anyone remember Michelle Wie,... 

Predicting the Biggest Risers, Fallers in Official World Golf Rankings in 2014

Golf may be the ultimate “what have you done for me lately” sport. It’s all about you and how you swing those clubs of yours every time you compete. Regardless of your name, professional golfers are judged by what they accomplish. Or don’t accomplish. The Official World Golf Rankings, even as vague and hard to understand as they are, provide a system of showing who the best... 

Is Jimmy Walker a Major Contender After Pebble Beach Win, Red-Hot 2013-14 Start?

Guys with the name Jimmy Walker have starred in a television sitcom and played professional basketball, but one currently plays professional golf. Of those three, only one has ever been referred to as Kid Dyn-o-mite, the star of a 1970s television sitcom, Good Times. The basketball player retired in the mid-1970s after a nine-year career in the NBA. The golfer is in the prime of what might be considered... 

Ranking the Greatest Rookie Seasons in PGA Tour History

The PGA Tour has only named a Rookie of the Year since 1990. That eliminates some potentially great rookie years by some of the great names in golf history, but that’s the way it has worked out. That doesn’t mean, however, that the Rookies of the Year since then haven’t had some amazing first years as professionals. But this category isn’t just for the fresh-faced youngsters... 

Will 2014 Be an Up or Down Year for Brandt Snedeker?

Brandt Snedeker never has been and never will be Tiger Woods. His golf game will never match that of Woods’ because while Woods powers the ball around the golf course, Snedeker is a much shorter hitter but one of the best putters in the game. He’s been fourth and 12th in putting in 2013 and 2012, respectively. But he’s never been better than 110th in driving distance in his career. And... 

Golfers with the Best Chance to Win Their First Major in 2014

During Tiger Woods‘ era of domination, there really weren’t all that many major championships to be won. When a man wins 14, that doesn’t leave all that many for anyone else. That era, for the most part, seems to have passed. Woods has shown over the last few years that he’s still a force to be dealt with, even though he hasn’t been able to close. As a result, the door... 

Is TPC Scottsdale’s Rowdy 16th Hole Good or Bad for the Phoenix Open?

For the other 51 weeks of the year, the hole is a vanilla par three. It measures 162 yards from the black tees, 100 from the white. Carrying over some waste area, avoiding a few bunkers short of the green, the ball finds itself on a fairly large putting surface. But for one week out of the year, the 16th hole at the TPC of Scottsdale is a haven for lunatics and loudness. Corporate hospitality boxes...

If you are involved in a fantasy golf league, you know you’re limited in the number of times you can pick for your team each week. In most leagues, that number is one, forcing you to try to figure out which tournament best suits a certain player.

How Much Will Injuries Affect Phil Mickelson in 2014?

There’s always been that feeling surrounding Phil Mickelson of “what will Phil do next?” Unpredictable, creative, intense, analytical, all of those words have been used to describe him over the years. Some have been said in complimentary ways, others in less-than-flattering ways. There have been lots of people, including me, who believed his time as a member of golf’s elite...
