It’s been a rough couple of months for Robert Streb. His first Masters Tournament appearance ended in ignominy, as he was cut from the field as the capper in a string of three straight early ousters. He’s finished no better than a tie for 30th since January’s Phoenix Open, nearly nosediving out of the top 100 players in the world. None of those foibles was on display Thursday, as...

Entering the day as one of 25 players within four shots of the lead, Rory McIlroy was 18 strong holes away from earning back-to-back victories.

McIlroy carded a two-under score of 70, leaving him three shots behind leader Sergio Garcia in a tie for sixth...

Tiger Woods‘ third round was a microcosm of everything that’s gone wrong in his game the last two years. Wayward drives, poorly struck irons and the occasional grimace defined an 18-hole stretch that saw him nosedive to the bottom of the leaderboard. For a while, Woods’ fourth round looked like it’d remind fans why he’s one of the all-time greats. Then...

Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth. Chris Kirk, Kevin Kisner and Ben Martin. One threesome has exactly zero players in the top 60. The other will be playing for the 2015 Players Championship. As you may have guessed, it’s Kirk, Kisner and Martin who join Bill Haas atop the leaderboard at Sawgrass heading into Sunday’s final round. It’s been a largely miserable week for the...

On Friday, Tiger Woods knocked down a clutch birdie putt that put him just above the cut line at the 2015 Players Championship. On Saturday, Woods turned in a round that might make him wish that putt had lipped out. The former world No. 1 carded a three-over 75 in his third round at the TPC Sawgrass, nosediving to the bottom of the standings amid struggles with every club in his bag, minus the driver....

The 2015 Players Championship player pool featured all the heavy hitters. Tiger Woods. Rory McIlroy. Phil Mickelson. Jordan Spieth. So naturally, exactly zero top-10 players fill the leaderboard following Thursday’s first round. Hideki Matsuyama, Kevin Na, David Hearn and Charley Hoffman currently sit one clear of the field after turning in a five-under 67 at the TPC Sawgrass. Seven players...

The average compensation of someone 15 years into a teaching career in Seattle is $77,498. Michael Greller, who gave up his teaching job in the Seattle area to caddie full time for 2015 Masters champion Jordan Spieth, has likely more than quadrupled that total in the last 30 days. Using a rough calculation of typical caddie-golfer contracts, Tony Manfred of Business Insider estimated...

Welcome to perhaps the busiest month on the sports calendar. The national championship in college basketball, the beginning of the NBA playoffs and the first round of the NFL draft are all confined within April’s 30 days.

If the Miami Open is any indication, players are going to have an awfully tough time knocking out the world’s top-ranked players on either side of the bracket. A day after Serena Williams kept her perfect 2015 going, Novak Djokovic captured his third title of the calendar year in a thrilling three-set match with Andy Murray. The top-seeded Serb won 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-0, overcoming a stellar all-around...

On the women’s side, the Miami Open continued to be a platform for the world’s best women’s tennis players—minus Maria Sharapova—to thrive. On the men’s side, though, Sunday played host to the second No. 2 seed being sent packing. Rafael Nadal’s surprising loss (4-6, 6-2, 3-6) to countryman Fernando Verdasco provided intrigue on what was otherwise a nondescript...
