Here is a quick pop quiz for Rory McIlroy, should he choose to accept it. Question one: What do you never do when you are the heavy favorite going into a competition? Don’t know, Rory? Let me try the second question. Do you think waking a sleeping giant is a particularly smart thing to do? Still don’t have an answer? Last question. Do you remember what happened to Stephen Ames and Rory...

Despite the nightmare that Tiger Woods has found himself unable to wake up from this year, the world’s number one golfer has no plans to replace his long-time caddie Steve Williams. At least, that’s what Williams believes. Talking with New Zealand radio a few days ago Williams expressed a feeling of security in his job. “I’m sure that if there was going to be some sort...

With eight players already in, captain Corey Pavin now needs to make his choices for the four captain’s picks to round out his team for the Ryder Cup. Something tells me when he does make the picks he isn’t going to sit down with Jim Gray and announce his decision. The eight already in are important to look at when deciding the four you want to add to this group. The thing that most...

I have two favorite quotes that have come out of the Dustin Johnson debacle. One is from Johnson himself, and the other from fellow American golfer Nick Watney. My favorite Johnson line was, “I only look at [the sheet] if I have to. And I didn’t see a reason I had to.” He was referring, of course, to the sheet the PGA personally handed to each golfer and also posted throughout...

With the four majors of the year in the books, it is time to see who the leading candidates are for Player of the Year. This year more than ever, the winner could be one of a number of players. No one has had a dominant year on the PGA tour this year. No one has won more than twice, and all four of the majors were won by different golfers. The World Rankings, perhaps more than any other year, will...

Tiger Woods was still on the golf course as darkness settled into eastern Wisconsin on Friday at the 92nd PGA Championship. Woods completed only six holes of his second round due to the fog in the morning that again delayed the start of action about three hours, just as it did on Thursday. Tiger sits at (-1) through 24 holes, seven shots out of the lead. The cut could move as the second round...

In 2009 at the Bridgestone Invitational the television rating for the final round was 4.3. Tiger Woods won the event. This year Tiger Woods did not win. In fact, he finished 30 shots behind the winner and was done playing before the television coverage even began on Sunday. The TV rating? 2.3. Go back a week further to the Greenbrier Classic. This tournament replaced the Buick...

Phil Mickelson announced on Tuesday he has been diagnosed and is being treated for psoriatic arthitis. The 40-year-old Mickelson said his symptoms came on right before this year’s U.S. Open. He said the condition got worse and spread throughout his joints during the tournament and then on a family trip to Hawaii right after. “That’s when I got concerned,” he said,...

After the week Tiger Woods had at Firestone, finishing 18 over par and 30 shots out of first, it seems a little crazy to even consider the world’s No. 1 golfer (yes, he’s still No. 1, despite trying to hand it to Phil Mickelson on a silver platter the last five months or so) could have any chance at the PGA Championship this week at Whistling Straits. But not so fast. Let’s...

Deep pot bunkers, vast sandy areas, huge undulating greens, a strong, unpredictable wind coming off the water, tall native grasses on sharp dunes. Sound like Scotland? Yes? Well, how about Wisconsin? Whistling Straits, the Pete and Alice Dye design in Kohler, Wisconsin on the banks of Lake Michigan, will again host the year’s final major championship. Whistling Straits hosted the PGA Championship...
