Natalie Gulbis and Dustin Johnson: Is a First Couple Good for the Sport?

Natalie Gulbis and Dustin Johnson are an item these days. They’re burning up the Internet. There’s nothing better than a good sports romance, is there? Golf hasn’t had one in, well, who knows how long? D.J. and Natalie, there they were out in Maui, the shapely Ms. Gulbis, one of those can’t-miss members of the Johnson gallery at the Tournament of Champions at Kapalua. This is... 

Tiger Woods Gets Some Pre-Birthday Needling

Tiger Woods, the walking, breathing Danielle Steele novel of the golf world, turns 35 next week, Dec. 30 to be precise if you care to drop him a card. Woods, the winless wonder this season, the living AP story of the year, is just hanging out these days, doing whatever it is that he does now that his skirt-chasing days have been subdued for the time being. The Prince of Par, who usually needles... 

Pete Sampras: They Can Steal Your Stuff But Not The Memories

Pete Sampras used to live among us here in Tampa. Those were great days for him. He was well-liked, regular guy who liked hanging out at a club called Avila and had a house next to my neighborhood in Tampa Palms. He wasn’t a flashy guy. He was every bit a superstar, but never acted the part. So it was a bit disturbing to see that some particularly cruel thieves made off with a lot of his... 

Tiger Woods Gets A Sour Dose of Graeme McDowell

Graeme McDowell, with that Irish sense of humor, wandered up to tournament director Greg McLaughlin Saturday night at the Sherwood Country Club as asked if it would be okay if he at least TRIED to beat Tiger Woods in the final round of the Chevron World Challenge. After all, Tiger WAS going to win this one, wasn’t he? Tiger Woods WAS going to cruise with that four-shot lead he built for three... 

Lana Lawless Forces Change In LPGA By-Laws

Lana Lawless has forced the LPGA to change its by-laws. The tour’s membership voted on Tuesday to do away with its “female at birth” clause and has opened the door for transgender membership. No surprise there. It was coming.  The Tour is simply following the lead of the International Olympic Committee and the European Ladies Tour. The LPGA board of directors recommended the... 

Ian Poulter Tweets at Tiger Woods Following Fumble in Dubai

If you paid attention to what transpired at the Dubai World Championship last Sunday, you’d know that Ian Poulter left himself wide open for the needle. Tiger Woods, at least the Tiger Woods we once knew, loves to stick the needle in his fellow competitors, in a friendly way. He’s got a good group of them at his little shindig this week at the Sherwood Country Club for the Chevron... 

Dustin Johnson and Those Annoying Rules Sheets

We learned at an early age in junior golf: Read The Rules Sheet. Learned the same in high school: Read The Rules Sheet. Learned the same thing in college golf: Read The Rules Sheet. For a time this humble player logged as a PGA Tour caddy, circa 1981, there was one item ALWAYS in my pocket: that week’s Players’ Rules Sheet. Read it, kept it, just in case. Know the quirks. In the heat of... 

Bruce Edwards: Remembering the Best Caddy

When the U.S. Open begins play on Thursday at Pebble Beach, many of us will drift back in time to the dramatic shot heard around the world of golf in 1982. Tom Watson, faced with a difficult situation to stay in contention on the 71st hole of the Open, hit the perfect wedge shot that went into the hole and gave him the boost he needed to beat Jack Nicklaus for the title. Watson ran across the green... 

Has Tiger Woods Used PEDs? SI Annual PGA Tour Survey

Jerry Rice, Stop the Hacking…Stop It Now!

Jerry Rice, please, please, no more. No Mas, por favor! Last time we saw Jerry on a golf course, he was struggling mightily. Thursday in South Carolina at the marvelous Cliffs development, he was again playing as a professional in the BMW Charity Classic. Playing?  Well, that’s generous. Jerry was flat-out hacking, hacking viciously. How about a 92? Hide the women and children. And in truly...
