Rory McIlroy to Nike: Do the Rumors Mean Tiger Woods Will Play Second Fiddle?

With a barrage of reports that Rory McIlroy will soon sign a 10-year, $200 million equipment and apparel deal with Nike—coupled with McIlroy‘s own admission that he’s been tinkering with new clubs—the transition for McIlroy from Titleist to Nike now seems imminent. “I’m a Titleist player until the end of the year, and I’ve made no commitment to any company... 

2012 Ryder Cup Results: Ranking Europe’s 3 Biggest Heroes in Epic Comeback

The 2012 Ryder Cup is in the books and all of the stereotypes have seemingly come true—the Europeans were gutsier, seemed to want it more, and made the putts when they had to. There’s little the US team can do except shake their heads, lay low during silly season, and get their games in order for the 2013 Masters. While nearly every player on the European squad stepped it up in the Sunday... 

5 Reasons Phil Mickelson Will Excel at the 2012 Ryder Cup

Phil Mickelson is in every sense a Ryder Cup veteran—when he tees it up at Medinah later this week he’ll be making his ninth Ryder Cup appearance. Unfortunately for the U.S., despite Phil’s talents and aggressive style of play, he has a lousy Ryder Cup record of just 11-17-6. He’s performed particularly poorly in the team events (7-13-6) and is batting just .500 in... 

Ryder Cup 2012: 4 Players Who Could Be the X-Factor in Medinah

The 2012 Ryder Cup is set to begin September 28 at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois. The big names and the usual Ryder Cup suspects will all be there—Rory, Tiger, Phil, Sergio—you get the idea. But as a team competition, this sure isn’t just McIlroy versus Woods (although that sure would be fun to watch in singles). It may very well be one of the lessor known players who... 

Augusta National Adds First Female Members: It’s Their Prerogative

Most golf fans will remember that several years back, some yahoo named Martha Burke set out to ruin The Masters by protesting the fact that the club did not have any female members. Yet as soon as the tournament began, poor old Martha was sent to a small patch of grass away from the action, where she was eventually forgotten (by most). To be honest, it was reminiscent in many ways to the occupy Boston... 

Tiger Woods Fan? You Must Read ‘The Big Miss’ by Hank Haney

I’ve read a lot of golf books in my day—frankly more than I’d like to admit. Everything from Tiger Woods: How I Play Golf to the nearly 400-page gem that is Dave Pelz’s Putting Bible. I’ve read books detailing struggling pros trying make a living on the European Tour, and I’ve read whimsical stories about falling in love with the windswept links in... 

Tiger Woods: 5 Reasons He Should Be the Overwhelming Favorite at Royal Lytham

Although few have seemingly noticed, Tiger Woods‘ win at the AT&T National this past weekend gave him his third win of the season (the most on the PGA Tour) in his last seven events—a ridiculous 42.8 percent winning percentage as of late. In other words, Tiger’s game is starting to come around. Isn’t it funny how Tiger’s game is described as “coming... 

Tiger Woods Returns to Winning Ways at the Memorial, Yet Remains Misunderstood

The scene could not have been scripted more appropriately—Jack Nicklaus’ tournament, Tiger on the cusp of tying Nicklaus in career PGA tour victories, and one horribly impossible shot finding the bottom of the cup and stirring up a fist pump reminiscent of the ghosts of Tiger’s past. If you’re a sports fan, you’ve seen the highlights by now—Sportscenter’s anchors... 

Tiger Woods Ends 2-Year Dry Spell at Chevron

There was a tremor in the force this evening, as two Tiger Woods putts dropped, stirring the golf universe. Vijay Singh saw a flash of light on a practice range in Fiji. Ernie Els awoke with a start in South Africa. Phil Mickelson wet the bed. Wake up golf world, Woods has returned. With his first win in nearly two years, Woods answered our questions. Under pressure, Woods’ hands were calm, stroking...
