Stock Up, Stock Down for Golf’s Top Stars

The stock market may be a good place to put your money these days, but if golfers were public companies, which would you bet on and which would you dump?

PGA Tour Stars Who Are Declining Quickly

The nature of a star is to shine brightly and then disappear either in a glorious explosion or a prolonged fade. To be a star on the PGA circuit, you have to win and win big. And the pros on this list either haven’t won in a while or no longer have the look of a champion.

Burning Questions for Phil Mickelson in 2015

Phil Mickelson’s winless 2014 was like a chunked chip, something completely out of character that will either send him reeling or toughen him as the new season begins. The awful season, which found him with only one top-10 finish, seems like a fluke since it was something he hadn’t done since 1992. Rather than succumb to it, Mickelson took the poor outing as a sign and has regrouped and... 

What Winning the 2014 FedEx Cup Means For Billy Horschel’s Career

Billy Horschel flashed a wide, winning smile of relief as he completed his Tour Championship victory to take the FedEx Cup title, which came with an equally huge $10 million bonus and the expectations that more good things are on the horizon.

2014 Ryder Cup Captain’s Picks Flop at BMW: How Worried Should Team USA Be?

Nice picks, Captain Watson. Looks like your U.S.S. 2014 Ryder cup boat is already treading water. If the BMW Championship is any gauge, Tom Watson’s 2014 Ryder Cup Team captain’s picks are looking pretty sad. Hunter Mahan was six over, and Webb Simpson was four over after the third round, while Keegan Bradley withdrew before the day even began. He was joined by 44-year-old Phil Mickelson... 

2014 Ryder Cup: Ranking the Head-to-Head Matches We Most Want to See

When the 2014 Ryder Cup convenes at Gleneagles in Scotland, the U.S. team will be fueled by the redemption of a tough loss in 2012 at Medinah.
