Another tournament, another injury for Tiger Woods. This time the injury is to his back, which sent him to his knees as he yanked his second shot on the 13th hole at The Barclays, the opening event for the FedEx Cup playoffs. The oft-injured Woods, who had just come off an elbow strain that hindered him at the U.S. Open, played through his back spasms to birdie two of the last three holes, which almost...

A slew of world-class players shot their way to the top of the leaderboard at The Barclays, the opening leg of the FeEx Cup playoffs, only to succumb to the intensity that comes with playing for a chance at $1.4 million in prize money. At the end of what had been a relatively humdrum three days of golf, Adam Scott didn’t so much win the tournament as Justin Rose, Gary Woodland and Tiger Woods...

With a $10 million grand prize at stake and multiple millions in event purses, the FedEx Cup could easily be called the pay-offs rather than the playoffs. As the 2013 FedEx Cup begins its four-event series at The Barclays, we’ll take a look at how the 125 participating golfers got there. Although not as unwieldy as the World Golf Rankings, the seventh running of pro golf’s player-...

Tiger Woods may be more than 750 points ahead of second place Matt Kuchar in the FedEx Cup standings, but he is not a shoo-in for the $10 million top prize. In fact, just last year Brandt Snedeker wasn’t even in the top 10 entering The Barclays and ended up winning the whole thing. With so many players performing so well, 2013 could be just as difficult to handicap. There are a slew of young...

Youth took the stage at the 2013 Wyndham Championship, and it did not disappoint. Twenty-three-year-old Patrick Reed fought off two feisty young peers, 20-year-old Jordan Spieth and 23-year-old John Huh, to win his first PGA Tour event in a playoff against Spieth. Reed also made news by being guided on the bag by his wife and caddie, Justine. Wyndham was the last stop before FedEx Cup points are finalized...

We might have expected Lee Westwood to falter on Sunday at the PGA Championship, but we didn’t expect him to vent his frustration in 140 characters or less. It is one thing for Westwood to taint his reputation by a poor performance at the PGA Championship and quite another to do so with an early-morning Twitter rant. The normally cool, calm and respectful Englishman followed a 76 at Oak Hill...

Rory McIlroy just wants to win anything again. Tiger Woods needs to win a major title again. As the last major of the year looms, both men, looking to overcome their own unique issues, face enormous pressure heading into the PGA Championship at Oak Hill. Like Muhammad Ali boasting “I am the greatest” or Michael Jordan, the all-time smack-talker, wagging a finger in his opponent’s...

Sixty-one! Who does Tiger Woods think he is, Roger Maris? Woods flirted with history Friday while manhandling both Firestone Country Club and an elite field of the world’s best players, eventually shooting a nine-under-par 61 on the second day of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Seven shots clear of the field, Tiger’s outright dominance reminded us of just how great he was, is and...

While some may consider it last in majors’ significance as well as timing, the upcoming PGA Championship is of primary importance for a wide variety of reasons to every golfer in the field. For some, it may also be a last gasp. (Tiger Woods) For others, it represents redemption. (Rory McIlroy) For still others, it may be their one big chance at a major title. With so much at stake, does...

With all of the recent hubbub surrounding Rory McIlroy, we sometimes forget that there are some other pretty darn good players out there who have yet to turn 25-years-old. Due to the sophistication and growth of golf over the past 20 years, today’s 25-year-old has a lot more experience and poise than those of the past. Just look at Jordan Spieth who, at only 19, has not only won his first tournament...
