Sure, the Greenbrier Classic has already lost its three biggest names, as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk all failed to make the cut. Ouch. But that doesn’t mean the final day of play won’t be exciting. Webb Simpson is the favorite heading into Sunday with a two-stroke lead, but there are plenty of players nipping at his heels.

He’s up, he’s down. He wins, he disappears. He rarely dominates on the course, but still dominates golf’s national discourse. His name is Tiger Woods, and after winning the AT&T National, he failed to make the cut at the Greenbrier Classic. It’s that inconsistency that leads me to believe he won’t end his Majors drought at the British Open. Woods has done a lot of...

It’s time that Roger Federer reminded everyone that the game’s elite used to include three players, not just two. The common notion around the sport has been that there are four elite players in the world—Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Andy Murray—but I don’t...

Maria Sharapova‘s fiancee Sasha Vujacic will probably find himself in a lot of Google searches now that his lady has returned to prominence in women’s tennis. Surely, there is some nerdy Google analytics expert giggling happily after Sharapova’s win. What Vujacic didn’t find himself in was Sharapova’s victory speech, according to Chris Chase of Busted Racquet, after she...

Maria Sharapova just dominated the French Open. Her 6-3, 6-2 victory over Sara Errani was the coronation of a magnificent run at Roland Garros that saw the Russian star take the world’s top ranking and only lose one set in the entire tournament. Impressive. The result against Errani almost felt inevitable, with the taller and more powerful Sharapova smashing six aces and 37 winners. Sure, Errani...

While the women’s draw at the French Open has seen tournament favorites like Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams and Li Na all fall, the men’s side has seen the favorites and higher seeds mostly advance to the quarterfinals. Don’t expect that trend to stop anytime soon. The quarterfinals on the men’s side doesn’t have a single player ranked worst than No. 12 in the world,...
