Players Championship 2013: Tiger Woods’ Victory Proves He’ll Win Major This Year

The last time Tiger Woods won four PGA events before June, he went on to bring the phrase “Tiger Slam” into the golf lexicon.  I don’t think Tiger will repeat that historic feat of winning four straight majors, but his win at The Players Championships on Sunday at Sawgrass proved to me that this year will not pass without Woods claiming a major.  Woods has been in fantastic... 

Breaking Down Sergio Garcia’s Epic Meltdown at 2013 Players Championship

Sergio Garcia stepped to the iconic 17th tee at TPC Sawgrass tied with Tiger Woods for the lead. He left the tee box with his chances of a title long gone, but in a collapse that was still evolving.  After three tee shots found the water in his final two holes, Garcia dropped from tied for first at 13-under to tied for eighth at seven-under, and he did so all while watching his nemesis, Woods,... 

Players Championship 2013: Winner, Final Leaderboard and Payouts

Tiger Woods beat a TPC Sawgrass course that has tormented him in recent history to win the 2013 Players Championship on Sunday with a 13-under, two-stroke victory over David Lingmerth, Kevin Streelman and Jeff Maggert. This was Tiger’s second Players Championship victory, and his first since 2001.  Sergio Garcia was tied for the lead late, but he dropped six shots to par on the final... 

Tiger Woods Wins 4th Event of 2013 at Players Championship

Players Championship 2013 Leaderboard: Players Who Will Plummet in Round 2

With barely a breath of wind and rain-softened greens, TPC Sawgrass was more vulnerable than usual. This filled the leaderboard with low scores, and some by players who will not be able to follow up their hot start. The lightly accomplished Roberto Castro is one. He tied the course record with a nine-under 63, which also led to him tying the record for the largest 18-hole lead at this... 

Rafael Nadal’s Madrid Open Performances Prove He’s Man to Beat at French Open

First seed, fifth seed or unseeded, it doesn’t matter where Rafael Nadal begins the 2013 French Open, he is the man to beat at Roland Garros.  This is all coming into view this week, as the debate as to where Nadal should be seeded rages on.  As Reuters notes, French Open tournament director Gilbert Ysern has said that Nadal would not be reseeded. This means the... 

Roger Federer’s Early Madrid Exit Blessing in Disguise for French Open

Roger Federer lost in the third round of the Madrid Open, and it was the best victory he could have gotten. Federer, the defending champion of the event, lost to 14th-seeded Kei Nishikori on the clay courts, 6-4, 1-6, 6-2.  Federer was erratic with his serve, and Nishikori punished him with ground strokes as he cruised in the final set to his first victory over the legend. It was shocking to see...

Rafael Nadal Deserves Higher Seeding at French Open

After having won seven of the last eight French Opens, it is silly to have Rafael Nadal enter the 2013 French Open as a fourth or fifth seed.  However, that is exactly where he is headed.  After missing the majority of the tournament action due to a knee injury following last year’s Wimbledon, Nadal has slipped in the rankings to No. 5. He may improve to No. 4 before the French, and... 

David Eger Had No Choice but to Call in Tiger Woods’ Masters Rules Violation

David Eger was left with no choice but to contact PGA officials and alert them of a slight violation of a subsection of a rule, in a lengthy rule book, which was committed by Tiger Woods. On the surface, this seems like a pretty petty thing to do as it would appear that it was simply someone watching at home who got overly excited at someone’s misfortune and called them on it. After all, Woods...
