When the Golf Channel emerged as a major player in televising golf tournaments, there was an immediate jump in the number of job opportunities for golf announcers. New voices, new outlooks, new personalities. For the most part, it’s been all good. But as in any other business, more doesn’t mean better.

They are the PGA Tour stars of the future, or at least that’s their greatest hope.

Julius Boros won the 1968 PGA Championship at 48 years, four months and 18 days old. Jack Nicklaus won the 1986 Masters at 46 years, two months and 23 days old. They are the oldest examples that players over 40 are still very capable of winning major championships. Ernie Els won last year’s Open Championship at 42 years, 7 months and 22 days of age.

If golf is not the hardest sport in existence to predict, I’m not sure what is. I mean, seriously. Who expected Boo Weekley to come from nowhere and shoot 63 in the final round of the Tampa Bay Championship? And just as strangely, who saw Kevin Streelman posting three rounds in the 60s to win the thing, jumping from 205 to 74 in the world golf rankings? It’s the way things are on the PGA...

In addition to long, accurate driving, precise iron play and steely nerves on the devilish Augusta National Golf Club greens, players who are going to contend for that coveted green jacket will need to come into Masters week on something of a roll. Momentum is a fickle entity, but the player who comes in at near top form has at least a chance to win. Struggling players won’t find their games...

This must be what a judge in a beauty pageant feels like. Ranking the 25 most scenic golf holes in the world has to be the equivalent of watching 50 of the most beautiful women in the world on stage. It’s a very subjective thing, beauty, so there may be holes that you think are better than some on this list. But hey, when you’re looking at a list of 25 scenic golf holes, chances are they’re...

He was a phenom a year ago, racking up money on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean at an alarming rate, but one befitting the No.1 player in the world. Rory McIlroy won the money titles on the PGA and European Tours, only the second time that’s ever been done. Not bad for a 23-year-old, even with the superior talents the Irishman possesses. The chances of him doing that again, especially with the...

The personalities that make up professional golf are not all that dissimilar from those in any other line of work. They range from outgoing to quiet, from very real to very fake and from great for the game to just a bit iffy. But the game has been blessed over the years to have some great personalities, the kind that fall into the category of helping to mold the game as well as the category of continuing...
