What Each of Golf’s Top Stars Must Prove at 2014 PGA Championship

It’s hard to imagine that Tiger Woods would have the most to prove when the PGA Championship gets underway next week at Valhalla Country Club in Louisville. But that’s the way it’s working out. His hopes to play in the FedEx Cup playoffs and be on the United States Ryder Cup team will depend on his performance at Valhalla, as well as how he does this week in the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone... 

Is It Too Early to Declare the End of the Tiger Woods Era?

Have we come to the end of the Tiger Woods era? No. Are we watching the beginning of a part of Woods’ career in which he won’t be the central figure every time he tees it up in a major championship? I don’t think there’s any doubt. To those Tiger Woods fans who will strenuously object to that assertion, especially based on his five-win season a year ago, take a moment to look... 

The Top Storylines to Follow on the PGA Tour in the Rest of 2014

The PGA Tour season has hit the three-quarters pole (three majors contested) and is ready to hit what could be argued the most exciting stretch of the year. The World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational and the PGA Championship will be held back to back at the end of the month and into August. Two weeks later it’s the start of the four-week FedEx Cup playoffs, culminating with the Tour... 

What Rickie Fowler Must Do to Get over the Hump at 2014 PGA Championship

The answer to the question of what Rickie Fowler must do to get over the hump at the PGA Championship is simple: Don’t miss your tee time in Round 1. That’s not to say Fowler is a lock to win at Valhalla. If anybody gets that tag, it’s Rory McIlroy, who won the British Open last weekend. But Fowler does not need to make many changes to his game. The 25-year-old finished in the... 

2014 Grades for Golf’s Top Stars After 3 Majors

Believe it or not, three of golf’s major championships have been contested with only the PGA Championship left on the schedule. Bubba Watson, Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy are the champions thus far, leaving golf’s other top stars wanting. Grading those top stars based on their performances in the three majors was an interesting endeavor. There were a few A’s, a few D’s and... 

British Open 2014: The Biggest Takeaways from Royal Liverpool

It looked very much like this was going to be another ho-hum, Martin Kaymer-like runaway victory for Rory McIlroy. And while McIlroy became the seventh player to go wire-to-wire in winning The Open Championship (Tiger Woods did it last in 2005), it was far from an 18-hole lovefest between McIlroy and huge crowds at Royal Liverpool. The young Northern Irishman had to work hard to hold off spirited charges... 

British Open Field 2014: Players to Watch on Day 3

Saturday is moving day at The Open Championship, and that has nothing to do with the wind, rain and unpleasant conditions expected to descend on Royal Liverpool. It’s the day when players who make the cut try to position themselves for a run at the title on Sunday. And there will be plenty of those to watch in the third round. Rory McIlroy seems very much in control of himself and the tournament. Sergio... 

British Open 2014: Burning Questions at Royal Liverpool

Thursday’s first round of the 143rd British Open is looming, and as always, there are some burning questions about the festivities at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. The health and readiness of Tiger Woods is one, as is just what kind of test will this links course be for the field of the best players in the world. Will there be a surprise contender or even a surprise winner? Here’s a list of... 

Golfers Who Desperately Need a Win in 2014

The best players on the PGA Tour sometimes make winning look easy, but it’s far from that. Tiger Woods puts up five wins in a season, and very few golf fans blink. But it’s not easy at all, and some players who have won in the past but run through a dry spell find that out. Lee Westwood is a perfect example of a guy who desperately needs a win, and you can add Nick Watney and... 

Is Justin Rose’s Win at Congressional a Sign of Bigger Things to Come in 2014?

Evidence is beginning to accumulate to suggest that Justin Rose might well be the next power player in professional golf. With all due respect to Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods (at this point) and superstar-in-waiting Jordan Spieth, Rose made another big statement with his victory in the Quicken Loans National last weekend at Congressional Country Club. What does that mean for the...
