Calm in Tiger Woods’ Private Life Has Contributed to Improvement on Course

When Tiger Woods took the unusual step of announcing his new relationship with world-class skier Lindsey Vonn, it took many people by surprise. Woods has always been extremely guarded when it comes to his relationships and his private life, and it was out of character for him to do something so publicly.

Rory McIlroy Was Right to Add Extra Event Before the Masters

It would appear that Rory McIlroy is taking the challenge of Tiger Woods seriously. In recent weeks, Woods has looked like the player of old.

Andy Murray will come into the final of the 2013 Miami Masters against David Ferrer as a strong favorite following his tournament and season success so far.

Shell Houston Open 2013: Day 3 Leaderboard Analysis, Highlights and More

Bill Haas and Stewart Cink reign atop a log-jammed leaderboard at 11 under par after Round 3 of the Shell Houston Open. Several prominent players capitalized on moving day at the Shell Houston Open, but none did so better than Haas.
