The 10 Most Unorthodox Swings in Golf History

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder and when you look at the wide variety of golf swings in use in the game yesterday and today, some of them really require some beholding. In the end, however, how the club is swung is not nearly as important as how the clubhead impacts the ball. If a player can get the clubhead square at impact, good things will happen. The following list is a testament... 

The 25 Most Ludicrous Paydays in Pro Golf

In this golden age of golf, where 99 players made at least $1 million this season on the PGA Tour, there is obviously plenty of money to be made. Purses totaled $279 million this year and that doesn’t count all the unofficial money that’s out there to be grabbed. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that back in the early 1950s, the first endorsement contract signed by Arnold Palmer was with... 

Rory McIlroy Is Making All the Right Calls; Can He Maintain That Hot Streak?

Rory McIlroy became a professional golfer in mid-September of 2007 and just over five years later finds himself looking forward to 2013 as the undisputed king of the golfing world. Some might call that a meteoric rise, but I hesitate to characterize it that way because most meteors flame out quickly. That’s not how I see McIlroy. Obviously, he has done a lot of amazing things on the golf course.... 

The Top 10 Tiger Woods TV Commercials

When Tiger Woods blasted his way to dominance on the PGA Tour in the late 1990s, his spectacular golf turned into spectacular amounts of money from endorsements and business deals. He also became the star of television commercials and did several of those before his world imploded on Thanksgiving night 2009. Here are 10 of the best commercials he made.

Ranking the 10 Golfers Who Will Suffer Most from Ban Anchoring Putters

For many people, change is a very difficult thing to adjust to, and professional athletes might be worse at adapting to change than anyone else. If Rule 14-1b is enacted and becomes law as of Jan. 1, 2016, it will be illegal to anchor a putter to any part of your body. There will be some golfers on the PGA Tour who could be affected quite adversely by this rule. Keep in mind that they won’t have... 

Why Golf’s Anchoring Putters Ban Won’t Be a Big Adjustment for Pros

Those playing professional golf at the highest level are doing so because they have more talent than anyone else playing the sport. But there’s more to making a living on the PGA or European Tour than having more God-given talent than the next guy. Sure, they can hit the ball further, make the ball do what they want on command and have high golf IQs. But they are also more creative and innovative... 

How Does Rory McIlroy’s 2012 Season Stack Up Against Tiger Woods’ Best Years?

We marvel at the spectacular season just completed by golf’s most recent and most legitimate phenom, Rory McIlroy: Six victories—four on the PGA Tour—and $8,047,952 in earnings in the United States. Two victories on the European Tour gave him a grand total of earnings (not including bonus pool prize money) of $10,947,402. You might sit back and shake your head in amazement at what... 

Ranking the 10 Worst Dressers on the PGA

Dressing uniquely in golf is not something that started in the last 10-20 years. A gentleman named Doug Sanders, who won 20 times on the PGA Tour from 1956-1972, is generally regarded as the one who started breaking whatever the fashion rules were of the day. Pink, lime green, you name it. Sanders wore it and made a name for himself in the process. Here’s a list of the 10 worst dressers on the... 

John Daly: Why the PGA Tour Needs to Ban This Circus Act

I remember watching this blonde youngster with a mullet striding confidently up the fairways at Crooked Stick Golf Club in 1991. He had taken the golf world by storm by getting into the PGA Championship as the ninth alternate and then went on to become the most unforeseen major championship winner in modern history. I shook my head at how things fell together for him. Nick Price withdrew to be home... 

Ranking the 10 Best Broadcasters in Golf

The great thing about televised golf is that viewers get to see and hear a variety of opinions and viewpoints from professional broadcasters who know more about the game than those tuning in from their living rooms. Sometimes we agree with those opinions, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we like those delivering the opinions, sometimes we don’t. There are some people who won’t watch...
