Why Golf Needs a Rory McIlroy vs. Tiger Woods Rivalry

Golf needs a special rivalry for the sport to reach its greatest heights. There’s nothing wrong with the game of golf if Arnie isn’t battling Jack or Sam Snead isn’t taking on Ben Hogan. But when the game’s top two golfers can look across from each other in the final grouping of a major with that tournament’s title on the line, that’s the best that golf has to offer. Phil... 

Phil Mickelson: Why Golf Needs a Resurgent Lefty

Take that, Tiger Woods. Less than a week after Woods won his first PGA event of the year, Phil Mickelson decided to show the golf world that he also has some magic left in his game. He fired an opening-round 60 in the Waste Management Phoenix Open that gave him a four-shot lead over his nearest competitors. If his long birdie putt on the final hole of the round had not horseshoed out, Mickelson would... 

Why Tiger Woods Still Faces Big Questions After Romp at Torrey Pines

If Tiger Woods was going to draw up a perfect start to the 2013 golf season, it would involve a win in the Farmers Insurance Open. That’s because it was his first PGA tournament of the season. Tiger had a solid 2012 season, finishing with three victories. None of them were in the majors and he did not finish well in any of those tournaments. So Woods may have been the No. 2 money earner on the... 

Famers Insurance Open 2013: Winners and Losers at Torrey Pines

As far as opening acts go, Tiger Woods has to be happy with the results of his first PGA tournament of 2013. Woods won the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, cruising to a big lead and then grinding out the finish on a cold and windy final day. Woods has always done well at Torrey Pines, and the victory was his eighth at the classic San Diego course as a professional. The victory was the 75th... 

PGA: Will Jim Furyk Get Back on Track in 2013?

Jim Furyk is one of the most inspirational golfers on the tour. Especially where high handicappers are concerned. Furyk’s unconventional swing resonates with fans all over the country. Furyk, of course, does not have the classic swing of Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Zach Johnson or Tiger Woods. That gives golf fans some inspiration. Furyk has been one of the top pros for many years even though... 

Why Phil Mickelson Is Just Short of Being an All-Time Great

Phil Mickelson has never won a U.S. Open. He has never won a British Open. Lefty has won a lot of tournaments over his 22-year professional career and ranks tied for ninth with 40 victories throughout his time on the PGA tour. In any given tournament, he can be a formidable opponent. However, when it comes to walking with the greats, Mickelson is a couple of foursomes behind the giants of the game. Based... 

Will 2013 Be the Year Luke Donald Finally Wins a Major?

Luke Donald is a regular fixture among golf’s leaders. Donald was the No. 1 money winner on the PGA Tour in 2011 with nearly $6.8 million in earnings. He could not come close to that figure last year as his earnings were down to $3.5 million, but it says a lot about a golfer when he’s the No. 14 earner on the PGA Tour and it was a disappointing season. Donald has a picture-perfect swing... 

Does Bubba Watson Have the Consistency to Remain a Top Player?

Bubba Watson took a huge step up the golf ladder last year when he won the Masters. The huge-hitting Watson has always been his own man. He is a self-taught player with a huge wingspan and an even bigger swing. Watson was the player who could launch the longest drive on the tour, but after busting one 330 yards down the middle and putting himself in position for an eagle or short birdie, he would blow... 

Tiger Woods: Drawing Up His Goals for 2013

Tiger Woods made significant progress in 2012. He won three tournaments, he was second on the money-winning list behind Rory McIlroy and he served notice that when he plays his best golf, he is still the most charismatic golfer on the tour. However, what Tiger Woods could not do was win any of the four major tournaments. He developed a poor pattern in this year’s majors, often playing well for... 

Golf: Does Ernie Els Have Another Major Title Left in Him?

Ernie Els had a huge comeback season in 2012. He earned $3.45 million last year, won the British Open and finished second in the Zurich Classic to go along with his five top-10 finishes and nine top-25 finishes. That was a major improvement from 2011, when Els earned just under $950,000 and had one top-10 finish. Els appeared to be on a downhill track before he surged during the summer....
