The 2013 AT&T National could have been known as the self-sponsored event that Tiger Woods couldn’t play in due to a prolonged elbow injury. Or it could have been the one where a 19-year-old golf prodigy came close to whipping a highly competitive field with his precocious play. Or, the event where British Open contenders fell by the wayside. At the very least, the AT&T proved to be a...

A bad knee, an ailing back, a strained Achilles tendon, a pain in the neck and now his elbow. At this rate, the only record Tiger Woods is going break is one for most injuries on the PGA tour. As he looks to the upcoming British Open, Tiger’s latest injury may be the stiffest roadblock he has had to face in his quest to surpass Jack Nicklaus’s record for major wins. Jack has 18 and...

The early odds are in and the usual suspects reign as favorites to win The British Open at Scotland’s Muirfield Country Club the weekend of July 18-21. But, the odds don’t always tell the story. Adam Scott’s nerves got the better of him last year, giving up a seven shot lead that ultimately led to a second Open Championship win for Ernie Els who was a 30-to-1 shot. Playing the 7,200...

The Travelers Championship has a reputation for being a relatively easy respite after the U.S. Open. Instead, it ended in a sudden-death playoff with a 44-year-old champion who had never won on the PGA Tour before. The Travelers played to form this weekend at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., as the lead changed hands numerous times throughout the weekend. Two who had never won before,...

Based on sheer numbers derived by the Official World Golf Ranking, Tiger Woods has earned the right to be the No. 1 player in the world. But with the way he is playing currently, does he deserve to be there? If this were a voting proposition rather than one based on a numerical ranking service, would you name Tiger No. 1 right now? And if not Tiger, then who? How about no one? ...

Shades of the 2012 Ryder Cup. There was Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson locked in combat at Merion Golf Club just as they had been in their head-to-head match last year. Once again, it was the Englishman who prevailed. Rose outlasted a great field with a bouncy Sunday that included five birdies and five bogies to end where he began at plus one. Rain or shine, the 100-year-old and 6,996-yard Merion overcame...

Tiger Woods entered the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village as the odds-on favorite and left it with a big question mark hanging over his head. Tiger’s tie for 65th place was his worst finish of the year and left the golfing world wondering what was in store for the No. 1 player as the PGA Tour gears up for the U.S. Open in two weeks. Will there be a hangover from this highly unusual...

What is a golf tournament without Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy? They both participated in the Memorial Tournament held at Muirfield Village this past weekend, but neither showed up, if you get my drift. Meanwhile, is there a shift in the wind, or were those just the formidable gusts that blew apart many a game this weekend? As the weather quieted down on Sunday, a variety of new names came to...

Just when it looked like Tiger Woods would simply roll into the U.S. Open, devastate his fellow pro golfers and finally win that 15th major, up jumped the devil in the form of the worst front-nine performance in his career. Tiger, it seems, is human after all. His startling 44 on the front nine at Muirfield in the third round was so out of current character that it calls his invincibility into...

I found myself rooting for Tiger this past weekend. This despite his gargantuan moral lapse and fall from grace, despite his year of tantrums and club-throwing (which, if it was a contest unto itself, he would lead the pack), despite a perpetual scowl that turned him from the biggest winner to the biggest whiner on the PGA circuit. Nope, I found myself cheering for Tiger because it actually looked...
