The nation of South Africa is on quite a roll lately.

After much of the media attention was going to young sensation Rory McIlroy's opening round of 63, lost in between the headlines was South...

"There’s just something peaceful about this place. I remember when I came here in ’95, I wasn’t playing good golf. I was playing horrible golf. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew how much I loved this place." That is what John Daly had to say after his opening round of 66, currently tied for second place at the British Open.

KJ Choi is not really known for shaking things up on the PGA Tour, but he has done just that on the putting green since last week at the John Deere Classic with his, well, unorthodox new style of putting. He begins his setup to the ball just like every other player on tour does alongside the ball reading the line, and it looks like he is about to address the ball as "normal". He then turns his...

Unlike other sports, PGA Tour players are not judged on how many rings or wins they have, but ultimately by how many majors they have won. Or at least contended in. An underlying and often overlooked part to that equation of winning a major championship can often reside...

One of the familiar holes to many and one of the most well known holes in all of golf has received a bit of a makeover for the 2010 British Open Championship. The famous "Road Hole" at the old course at St. Andrews has been lengthened to 495 yards with the addition of a new tee box pushing it back from the 455 yards the last time the Open Championship was contested there. Altering...

Some people say golf is not a sport for the "everyday" man—it's only for the rich or well off. Some say golf is boring and has no news-worthy topics as other sports do. Not the sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll that seems to drive other sports to popularity for some unknown reason. Well, fortunately, golf and the PGA Tour have hit the "big time" sports now. Past contestant on the hit Golf Channel...

Birdie 10, Birdie 11, Birdie 12, Birdie 13, Birdie 14, Par 15 (what happened there?), Birdie 16, and Birdie 17. How's that for a scorecard to start off the back nine of a PGA Tour event? And no, this is not a dream or a script for a Hollywood golf film. No, this is exactly what Paul Goydos did in the first round of the John Deere Classic on Thursday. His front nine was not as birdie-filled but...

Charl Schwartzel never could have imagined in his wildest dreams that he would be in the final pairing with his boyhood idol, Ernie Els, at Doral with a chance to win his first PGA tour event. But that is exactly where he found himself this past Sunday in South Florida. Schwartzel, a native of South Africa, as is Els, was two years old when his father and Ernie Els won a club tournament together. He...

The ban is also in effect on the Nationwide and Champions Tour as well. The clubs up until now have been able to be used in play by being grandfathered...
