2011 Masters: The 10 Most Dramatic Finishes in Masters’ History

Since the very first Masters, won by Horton Smith in 1934, the tournament has been one of the most cherished in all of golf.  The youngest of the four majors and the first one played every year, it is also the only major played on the same golf course every year. Over the years, there have been some incredible Sunday finishes at Augusta, and we’ve put together what are perhaps the 10... 

The Masters: What Makes Augusta National America’s Best Golf Course?

Gary Player, who won the Masters three times on the hallowed grounds of Augusta National, once said of the famed Georgia course, “When I think of Augusta, I think of great beauty. I’ve always said if they have a golf course like this in heaven, I hope I’m the golf pro there one day.” Three factors separate great golf courses from good golf courses: property, design and resources.  The... 

Augusta National and the Top 10 Courses Ahead on the 2011 PGA Tour

Although one great American golf course has already been played on the PGA Tour—Pebble Beach—most of the best stops still remain for the 2011 season, which for a lot of us golf fans doesn’t really start until that first week of April in Georgia. Here are what I consider to be the 10 best golf courses that will be hosting tournaments for the rest of the 2011 season. All four 2011... 

March Madness: Why Is PGA Tour Trying To Compete With NCAA Tournament?

We’ve all heard the expression “too much of a good thing” or “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” How about “oversaturation?” These are all expressions the PGA Tour should take into consideration. If you check out the PGA Tour schedule for the year 2011, you will see an almost entirely full calendar for the whole year. From the Hyundai Tournament of... 

Golf: Try Figuring Out These 5 Confusing USGA Rules

Rules. Nobody likes them, but we need them. Sports, in particular, are defined by rules. Without rules, sports would have little to no appeal for anyone. As far as the amount of rules any particular sport has, it would be challenging to find a sport that comes close to the number of rules that govern the game of golf. Every year the United States Golf Association (USGA) comes out... 

Jack Nicklaus and the 1986 Masters: A Look Back 25 Years Later

25 years have passed since perhaps the greatest major championship in golf’s history. Is that possible? Heading into the 1986 Masters, Jack Nicklaus was 46 years old and winding down his career. He hadn’t won a PGA event in two years and hadn’t won a major in six years.  As much as perhaps the greatest golfer in the history of the game can be, Nicklaus was not much more than... 

Tiger Woods and the Top 15 Match-Play Players in the World

As the Accenture Match Play Championships get set to begin this week, we take a moment to consider just who in this field can be considered strong match-play format players.

Jim Gray Crosses the Line Yet Again: Will There Be Justice This Time?

Perhaps it was because he was the one sitting next to LeBron James during the PR debacle that was “The Decision” that we hoped Jim Gray would just go away. Maybe it was after he lost his cool and had it out publicly with Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin during a finger-pointing incident last fall that we hoped he would finally disappear from our television sets. Or it could just be that over... 

2011 Dubai Classic: Top 5 Moments From the Desert Tournament

When it was all said and done, Tiger Woods didn’t turn out to be the number-one story from this year’s Dubai Classic. The victory by Spaniard Alvaro Quiros, only a week after he finished second in Qatar last week, and his ability to hold off many of the world’s top players, ended up being the biggest story of the weekend. Quiros held off such names as Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood and... 

Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer Battle in the Dubai Classic
