Is There Any Way to Make the Presidents Cup More Competitive?

The 2013 Presidents Cup was over before it started, and that is really too bad for an international event that should be competitive and at the very least fun to watch. For the eighth time in 10 of these biennial events, the USA team beat the non-European International team, and it wasn’t as close as the 18.5 to 15.5 score would indicate. Running with seven rookies on its team, the Internationals... 

Winners and Losers of the 2013 Presidents Cup

For the eighth time in 10 tries, the USA team skunked—or should we say squirreled—the International team in the Presidents Cup beating them handily 18.5 to 15.5. It’s gotta be tough when your entire team is upstaged by a squirrel. But, that is how the International team must have felt when Lindsay Vonn had some fun with her usually uptight boyfriend, Tiger Woods.  Neither... 

Presidents Cup 2013: 10 Bold Predictions for This Year’s Tournament

But, as with any sporting contest, there will be many surprises at Muirfield Village where the two teams will meet. What...

Why Tiger Woods as 2013 PGA Tour Player of the Year Was Ultimately a No-Brainer

Sometimes the easiest choice is the best choice, and in the case of Tiger Woods receiving his 11th PGA Tour Player of the Year award, the selection was as easy as counting to five. When asked by USA Today who has had the best 2013, Bill Haas—2011 FedEx Cup champion—said, “Tiger Woods, he’s won five times, pretty easy answer there.”  There is perhaps no greater... 

2013 Presidents Cup: Projected Pairings for Both Teams

If world rankings are any indication of strength, then the U.S. team conjures up Goliath to the International’s David as the two prepare to for their biennial meeting in the President’s Cup at Muirfield GC in Columbus, Ohio. The U.S. includes eight top-20 players in the world  to the International’s three, and six of those Americans are in the top 10. Add to that the fact that... 

Biggest Winners and Losers of the 2013 FedEx Cup

While he was pushed by Steve Stricker and Jordan Spieth on the last day, he basically turned the title run into a yawner by shooting 13-under to win the Tour Championship by three...

Deutsche Bank Championship 2013: Winners and Losers of 2nd Step in FedEx Cup

If you like fun-filled kids games, you must have loved the Deutsche Bank Championship, where players moved up and down the board and the FedEx Cup standings as if they were playing Parcheesi.  When all was said and done, Henrik Stenson won the second leg of the playoffs, edging Steve Stricker while tying the tournament record at 22 under par. For Stenson, who has been a statistical marvel, it... 

What Winning the 2013 FedEx Cup Would Mean for Phil Mickelson’s Legacy

It may be hard to believe, but Phil Mickelson once held the unenviable moniker of “best golfer never to have won a major.”   With five majors to his name, he has long since shoved that dubious title aside, and should he win the FedEx Cup this year, he will bolster his ever-growing legacy as one of the best to have ever played the game. The FedEx Cup may not hold the grandeur and...
