Nothing else seems to be working for Tiger Woods, maybe a pairing with Vijay Singh at the PGA Championship for the first two rounds might be what the doctor ordered. It can’t hurt. Woods has traditionally played some very good rounds when paired with the veteran Singh.

Will he be on the team or won’t he? That is the $64,000 question. Tiger Woods, heading into this week’s tournament at Firestone, sat ninth in the Ryder Cup standings for the American team. The top eight get an automatic spot on the team. Tiger is hardly helping his chances of making the top eight this week. Through Friday’s play, Akron Woods sat 74th in a field of 81. Woods...

As summer rolls on toward August, it is hard to take a look at the PGA Tour this year and determine who exactly is the player of the year. Ernie Els leads the FedEx Cup Standings, as he has most of the year. But he has been far from overwhelming, especially since his two wins earlier in the year.

St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Etobicoke, Ontario is the stop for the Canadian Open this year. The tournament has been played on this course four times previous, but hasn’t hosted it since 1968. Two...

Most British Opens are memorable to some extent, and especially so when they are played at St. Andrews. 2010, although it didn’t have a big name like Tiger Woods winning by eight shots or a Jean van de Velde meltdown on the last hole, the tournament did have its moments that we will look back on years from now. Here are what I think the ten most memorable things were that came out of the ’10...

Tom Watson has been very critical of Tiger Woods ever since the scandal with Woods broke late last year. Despite the hard words from Watson sometimes, Tiger had a nice gesture for the legend from Kansas on Friday at the British Open. Watson, a five-time winner of the Open, was in the group behind Tiger Woods. As darkness began to settle it became clear that Watson was going to miss the cut. Suddenly...
