25 Greatest Things About Golf

Golf is a tradition filled sport. Like most sports, most of the best, most noteworthy traditions are brought out in the biggest events of the season. In the case of golf, those are the four majors: The Masters, The US Open, The British Open, and The PGA Championship. Even at that, some of those majors are far more tradition packed than others. Also, while the majors are where the most famous traditions... 

Rory McIlroy and 15 Other Golfers That Galleries Absolutely Love

As an individual sport, being a fan of golf is different than other sports. Even if you have a favorite, you can’t help but applaud when the other guys do well. In sports where defense is allowed, you can at least criticize your favorites for not playing better. Obviously, the sport has been around for hundreds of years. From a television sense, people didn’t see much golf until the late-50’s,... 

Rory McIlroy at the Masters and the Ballsiest Interviews in Golf History

Almost two weeks removed from the final round of the Masters, and the shock of watching Rory McIlroy’s Sunday collapse is just starting to wear off. While I thoroughly enjoyed watching the final round, especially the finishing holes, McIlroy’s collapse was painful. I do believe that McIlroy will eventually win multiple majors, but it isn’t entirely his physical game that makes me... 

Tiger Woods: Five Signs That Tiger Is Back Despite His 2011 Masters Finish

More than a week removed from the Masters, it’s still hard to figure out just what we can expect from Tiger Woods. How do we even rank that performance? He didn’t win. He himself says that he needs to do that to have a truly good week. On the other hand, a T4 for someone who is just now beginning to play close to a full schedule for the first time since 2007 is hardly a failure. Nobody... 

Rory McIlroy: Despite Blowing the Masters, He’ll Recover to Win a Major

Before the final round on Sunday, I was convinced that Rory McIlroy would win the Masters and would do so easily. His front-nine 37 made me think that it would be more of a fight, but I still thought that he would win. Then, he hit a drive on the 10th hole in a spot that many people didn’t know existed. That led to a triple-bogey. After a bogey on 11 and a double on 12, McIlroy hooked his drive... 

Charl Schwartzel and 10 Young Golfers Who Will Challenge Tiger Woods’ Dominance

Tiger Woods’ front nine Sunday at Augusta made people think he would win the Masters. While his disappointing back nine took him out of contention, he showed that his game is close to being back. As it stands right now, Woods is four major titles short of tying Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 career majors. While four majors is not easy, Woods has twice won four majors over two full years (2000-2001... 

2011 Masters: Charl Schwartzel a Worthy Champion

It will be easy for fans of golf to focus on stories not relating to Charl Schwartzel when telling the story of the 2011 Masters. Does Tiger Woods‘ front-nine rally mean he’s back? Does his back-nine struggle mean he’s still far away from regaining his form? His game is close. It would be surprising to me if he didn’t win one of 2011’s remaining three majors. What about... 

Masters 2011: What We Learned from Round 3 and Can Expect in Round 4

Moving day at Augusta has come and gone, but a lot can still happen on Sunday. So, what did we learn on Saturday? What can we expect on Sunday? Experience helps at the Masters more than it does at any other major. It has to—it is the only major that is played at the same course every year. It also helps to have won a major before. The two most decorated golfers of this era, Tiger Woods and Phil... 

2011 Masters: What to Take from Round 1

The 2011 Masters is finally underway. Living in California, it’s a little hard for me to identify this as the beginning of Spring, but people across the country do. Every Masters brings a great deal of anticipation. This one is a little unique, even by Masters standards. There isn’t one or two dominant story lines. Before last week, there really wasn’t even a clear favorite. Instead,... 

2011 Masters: Why Ryan Moore Is a Dark-Horse Threat to Win it All

Especially given what happened in the Shell Houston Open, many pundits label Phil Mickelson as the favorite to win the Masters. I still identify  Read More →
