Golf-obsessed Americans watch the British Open year in and year out fiending for a genuine test of links golf that doesn’t require them to hop on a 747 all the way to Scotland. Bandon is their solution. Oregon’s coastal gem, Bandon Dunes, is not just another attempt at links golf on American soil, rather, it’s a seaside challenge of unforgettable value. Sure, the Monterey Peninsula,...

There’s never been a better time to be a golf fan. In what’s already been an enthralling and truly captivating golf season, we’re being treated to another five weeks of elite golf in the FedEx Cup playoffs, followed by one of golf’s best match play tournaments in the President’s Cup. The only way this could get better would be if Bill Murray commentated the whole thing...

The Official World Golf Rankings need a mulligan. Actually, they need the whole nine yards: upgrade to a tech-savvy set of clubs, a fresh pair of shoes and a brand new wardrobe (hopefully not inspired by Rickie Fowler). And a hat. Look, no system is perfect, but the flaws embedded in golf’s world rankings have become egregious to the point of distorting the reality of today’s golf...

Before June 2, 2013, Tiger Woods didn’t look like he’d win a single major championship—he looked like he’d win a bunch. He’d won four of his first seven PGA Tour events. He ranked No. 1 in strokes gained-putting, scoring average and FedExCup points. If he walked on water, I don’t think anybody would’ve been surprised. He’d once again captivated the...

Ever wonder what a dream team of golfers would look like? Just take a look at the winners of the British Open at Muirfield Golf Club in Scotland over the last fifty years. Past champions include Harry Vardon, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Ernie Els. Don’t expect some no-name, unproven pro to come out on top this week. The distinguished list of winners...

Words like “tortured” and “emptiness” are being thrown around about Phil Mickelson after taking home his sixth second-place finish at a U.S. Open. Even Phil used the word “heartbreak” in the wake of the loss. As he should. There’s a distinction that needs to be made between the perception of Phil Mickelson’s Sunday at the U.S. Open and his future....

The 113th U.S. Open was Phil Mickelson‘s to lose Sunday at Merion Golf Club. But no matter what mistakes we recall from Lefty’s ebb and flow final round, there’s no denying that Justin Rose (+1) deservedly won the Open and in doing so, his first major championship. The 32-year-old Englishman performed with the poise of a veteran beginning with his first tee shot Thursday. Rose never...

Tiger Woods was within striking distance to begin the day, but couldn’t find the remedy to poor iron play and obvious discomfort on Merion’s putting greens. The No. 1 ranked player in the world posted a 76 in his third round and is now +9 for the championship. Rory McIlroy was no better, posting a 75 and is now +8 overall. Never say never at a U.S. Open, but it looks like neither...

Judging by the Jekyll and Hyde act Rory McIlroy has performed this season, predicting how he will fare at Merion Golf Club for the 113th U.S. Open this week would equate to solving a Rubix Cube, blindfolded. Winless in 2013, McIlroy’s been pedestrian at best with four mediocre finishes ranging from T25 to T57, as well as four top 10s and a controversial withdrawal from the Honda Classic...

The last time Tiger Woods won four times before June 1, he went on to win four major championships in a row from 2000-2001. Luckily for Woods, Sergio Garcia self-destructed on the 17th hole and gave up six shots on his final two holes, delivering Woods his fourth title of 2013 with the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass Sunday. Woods (-13) captured his 78th career victory and second Players Championship...
