Tiger Woods finds himself in a less than enviable position heading in to Sunday’s final round in Augusta, GA. He is seven strokes back of tournament leader Rory McIlroy, but there is more than just strokes separating Woods from his fifth Green Jacket. There are a dozen other players and a lot of history. On the face of it, If he shoots a 65, he ties the lead, but that is assuming everyone else,...

Folks, the Masters is all but over and I can tell you definitively who is going to win. In the last 20 playings of the first golf major of the year, the winner has come from the final pairing 19 times. That means that either Rory McIlroy or Angel Cabrera will win the Masters tomorrow. The largest 54-hole deficit to come back and win the Masters is eight strokes, but that was more than 50 years ago. The...

After making a very nice charge on the back nine on Friday to put himself in a tie for third—three off the lead of Rory McIlroy—Tiger must have been thinking that the end of his winless streak was within his grasp. It has been since June 2008 that Tiger stood in the winner’s circle of a major, or any tournament for that matter. When he sunk his final putt on Friday for a back-nine...

Tiger Woods played a very ho-hum round on Thursday. Is it possible he was just toying with tournament leader Rory McIlroy and Jason Day, who is currently second? It certainly seems possible, but anyone who was on the course today knows differently. After shooting a first-round 71 in perfect scoring conditions, and then playing the first nine in one-under on Friday, Woods and his long-time caddy Steve...

Two days of the 2011 Masters are in the books and some noteworthy players are booking flights out of Augusta, Ga. instead of thinking about their Saturday pairing. Scoring conditions on Thursday were gorgeous with bright sunshine and little wind to speak of. It really doesn’t get much easier to play Augusta National. Friday there was less sun, but still very little wind. There were still excellent...

It might be one of the most well known courses on earth, but a relatively small number of people have actually walked its property. One of the main reasons Augusta National Golf Club is so well known is because it hosts one of the four major golf championships every year. In that way, the Masters is unique amongst the four biggest tournaments. Unlike the U.S. Open, the Open Championship and the PGA...

This is the last in my five-part series of articles leading up to the year’s first, and my favorite, major, The Masters Tournament. Held at the beautiful Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, GA, the Masters is unique amongst the major championships in that it is held at the same course every year and it technically is not the championship of anything. When you win the U.S. Open or the...

This is the fourth part in a five-part series leading up to the start of the Masters. The Masters is next week and I am excited! I love the Masters. The tournament, the first major on the golf calendar, marks the unofficial beginning of golf season. Players around the country are starting to see grass emerge from the snow that covered their lawns. They are getting out their putters and rolling...

We might be witnessing the end of an era on the PGA Tour. Through 13 events, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, maybe the most dominant pair of players since Nicklaus and Palmer, have won exactly zero tournaments. Mickelson has been doing better than Woods, to say the very least. In six events played, Mickelson has posted two top 10 finishes, including a second place finish. This is during the time of...

Continuing the run-up to the Masters (now only 24 days away), here is the second article in a series of five leading up to my pick to win the first major of the year. Winning one of golf’s major championships is a daunting task, to say the least. Most of the time, about 150 players enter and only one will win. (The field of the Masters is typically much smaller than that, only about 80 players)....
