The rolling terrain of this brutally difficult golf course spans more than 7500 yards and features multiple par-4s over 500 yards and par-5s over 600.

It’s like Tiger Woods is a magnet for the spotlight. Despite multiple unforeseen, poor showings in his seven tournaments this season, Woods remains the center of attention, the top priority, and most telling of all, the No.1 contender heading into this week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, OH. Realistically, why wouldn’t Tiger be the favorite this...

The swirling winds, slick greens, and hidden sand dunes of Royal Birkdale Golf Course in Southport, UK, separated the weak from the strong, the one-dimensional from the versatile, and the girls from the women. After four grueling rounds across the pond, Yani Tseng arose victorious Sunday, finishing -11 (68-68-68-73) for the RICOH Women’s British Open Championship. Though Australian Katherine...
