Adam Scott entered the Liberty National Golf Course clubhouse at 11 under par after his final round at The Barclays in Jersey City, N.J. He then anxiously waited as that score held up while a string of stars came just short of catching him. Scott fired an impressive 66 on Sunday at the PGA’s first playoff event and watched as putts on No. 18 from Justin Rose, Tiger Woods and Gary Woodland—which...

After a wild year of tennis, Andy Murray and Serena Williams will return to Flushing Meadows with their sights set on defending their singles titles at the U.S. Open. Obviously, this will be no easy task, and after just watching an unpredictable Wimbledon play out, it is no guarantee that either of these fine champions will make a deep run into this tournament. The men’s side is going...

Portugal hosted the Netherlands in an entertaining friendly at Estadio Algarve, and the two international powers battled to a 1-1 draw. After a well-played match, Portugal nearly suffered a 1-0 loss. However, Cristiano Ronaldo saved the day with a late leveler. As I’m sure you are aware, Ronaldo wasn’t the only star striker in this match: Understandably, Ronaldo and Robin van...

There are just five tournaments left on the PGA calendar this year (not counting the Presidents Cup), and it will be important for several golfers to finish the year strong. For starters, a hot finish to the year will be a nice boost to their pocketbooks. The FedEx Cup offers up a tidy $67 million over the four tournaments.

The passing of the PGA Championship means we all have to wait until next April for the next major, when all eyes will turn toward the Masters. While that means ending the year on a hot streak won’t lead to a coveted major title, it will lead to a lucrative and prestigious close. This is thanks in large part to the FedEx Cup—right around the corner—which offers up a massive $67...

Once again, Tiger Woods enters a major as a giant favorite. At 7-2, according to Bovada, his odds are three times lower than Phil Mickelson, who has the second-lowest odds in this field. Given Woods’ history of major dominance and his stellar recent play, which includes winning last week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational by seven strokes, the odds are clearly justified. However, there...

In non-shocking news, Tiger Woods is the overwhelming favorite to win the 2013 PGA Championship. Bovada lists the 14-time major winner at 7-2. This is leaps and bounds lower than the 14-1 odds on Phil Mickelson, who is the second favorite. The odds hint at an epic showdown between the two rivals, but that is certainly no guarantee. Oakhill Country Club, the home for this year’s PGA...

Coming the week after the British Open, the Canadian Open doesn’t draw the most star-studded field. However, there is still plenty of talent. Like our cover boy, Hunter Mahan. While Mahan shot an underwhelming 75 on the final day of the British Open, he still mustered a ninth-place finish. Combine that with his recent play, and he’s earned a spot on the hot list. He is...

Major championships are the true proving grounds for the world’s best golfers. Just ask Tiger Woods. Woods has had a dominant year while marching back to No. 1, but since he hasn’t won a major in over five years, most are left to wonder or speculate about what is wrong with his game. At this year’s British Open, he had a golden opportunity to make a run at the title. Instead,...
