Where do we draw the line between what a player does in their sport versus what they do in their private life? Problem is, some athletes’ private lives aren’t so private. This is where the line gets rather obscured, and at times, starts to fade. Tiger Woods is arguably the most recognizable sports figure in the world; certainly of current athletes. Michael Jordon might give him a run for...

He hasn’t had much good news in awhile, that’s for sure, but maybe Tiger Woods got a small dose on Wednesday. The MRI he had done for his neck pain showed no major disc problems. On Tiger’s website it was called it, “Inflammation of a facet joint in the neck.” Woods will rehab with physical therapy, rest and anti-inflammatory medicine. “I...

Although the MRI results are not in yet on golf’s most famous neck, it appears as though once again, this sport will have to sustain itself without its most recognizable player. If Tiger Woods is indeed headed to the shelf again, can golf get a boost from some of its other players to keep it chugging along? It is no secret TV ratings drop like a seven-iron tossed into a pond when Tiger is not...

Tiger Woods surely doesn’t need my advice. He has plenty. He has reporters, sports writers, sports anchors, current players, ex-players, gossip show hosts, gossip reporters, talk show hosts, politicians, fans, non-fans, therapists, and anyone else that didn’t fall into one of the above categories telling him what to do and how to act. They tell him, among other things: Answer everyone’s...

Consider this: Phil Mickelson and Brett Favre have been professionals for about the same amount of time. Gray haired, grizzly old veteran Brett Favre. Brett has Phil by a year; 19 years as an NFL quarterback. Phil, 18 years as a PGA player. 18 years. When he graduated from Arizona State in 1992, Mickelson was one of the most decorated amateur players in the history of golf. He captured three consecutive...

This weekend the PGA Tour makes its annual stop in Ponte Vedra, Florida for The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The players love this tournament, and, outside of the four majors, consider this the most sought-after prize on the PGA tour. Even though it is a popular tournament amongst the players, it is not the fifth major. Sounds like one of my daughters trick word problems from her math class: If...

He is a walking fashion statement. More young ladies are sprinkled throughout his gallery than any other player. He has to live with the label Golf Digest annually bestows upon him as “The Sexiest Player on Tour”; something that embarrasses him. He has to shake a bit of a primadonna label that he has helped put on himself (he once publically yelled at his agent, finishing with, “And...

It must be “Celebrate Tom Fazio Week.” On the PGA tour, Fazio’s brilliant redesign is on display in North Carolina at the Quail Hollow Championship, and one of his more magnificent newer creations is being highlighted on the Champions Tour event as well, the Mississippi Golf Resort Classic, at Fallen Oak Golf Club (don’t you just love that name; Fallen Oak?) in Biloxi. Fallen...

Tom Fazio has no shortage of considerable achievements in the world of golf course design. He has been named Best Modern Day Golf Course Architect three times. He also has been given the highest award given by the Golf Course Superintendent’s Association, of which I am a proud member, the Old Tom Morris Award. He has more golf courses ranked in the top 100 in the U.S. than any other living golf...

The leader board after the first round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans would make even the most diehard PGA followers scratch their heads a little at many of the names near the top. But there is one name that most could recognize, although even his name up near the top could be considered a head scratcher as well. David Duval, after his first round 68, sits at -4, three shots back of leader...
