Women’s Tennis Desperately Needs a Superstar to Emerge in 2012

In complete contrast to the men’s game, women’s tennis has become an unpredictable sport, plagued by player inconsistency and injuries. With the Williams sisters on the decline, Henin retired and Kim Clijsters likely to follow, there is a distinct lack of any real superstars in the sport. Not having any truly dominant women on tour does allow for more parity, but could equally be considered... 

5 Golfers Who Can Bounce Back in 2012

Golf has never been more competitive. Its rate of growth throughout the world is a huge success story for the sport, with tours now being established in the Far East, South Africa and Australasia, as well the long-established tours in the US and Europe. As such, there has been an emergence of talent making headlines, which has been great for many but not so great for those players who have fallen out... 

Major Tournament Trends in 2011 Prove That Golf’s Never Been Tougher

This year’s golf season could end with all of the “major” and WGC tournaments having been won by a different player each time. Is the apparent downfall of 14-time major winner Tiger Woods over the last couple of years responsible for this unprecedented fact? In a season that has also seen a record number of rookie winners in both the US and European Money Lists, only the WGC HSBC... 

PGA: Luke Donald out To Top Money Lists on Both Sides of the Atlantic

Somewhat remarkably, should world No. 1 Luke Donald finish in the first two places at this week’s final U.S. PGA Tour event, the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, the Englishman’s hopes of becoming the first golfer in history to top the money lists on both sides of the Atlantic will receive a huge boost. Current leader on the U.S. list, Webb Simpson, moved $363,000 clear... 

Rory McIlroy: The Sweetest Swing Currently in the Game

When a player of the stature of 14-time major winner Tiger Woods concedes that new US Open champion, Rory McIlroy, has a superior swing to his at a similar age, it is little wonder why the golfing world is predicting a huge future for the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland. McIlroy propelled himself in to golf’s big-time last month when becoming the youngest player since Bobby Jones in 1923 to... 

Wozniacki, Clijsters & Zvonareva Out to Take Control of Wide Open Women’s Tennis

Since the long term injury to Serena Williams and the demise, through injury of Maria Sharapova and with the final retirement of Justine Henin, there is currently no female player who absolutely dominates world tennis. Currently the top three are Caroline Wozniacki, Kim Clijsters and Vera Zvonareva, who will hold those positions when the French Open Championship begins in Paris in May. The latest world... 

Masters 2011: What Next for Rory McIlroy After Final-Round Nightmare at Augusta?

Yes, it was Charl Schwartzel who won his first US Masters, and yes, it did appear that Tiger Woods could be close to getting back to his best, and yes, it was also sad that an Australian yet again failed to don a green jacket at the end of the 72-hole opening “Major” of 2011. However, the biggest talking point from the tournament just has to be the shocking loss of confidence of Rory McIlroy,... 

Novak Djokovic Closing in on No. 1 Spot in ATP World Tennis Rankings

For so long now, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have been regarded as the two best tennis players in the world. However, it appears that Novak Djokovic is highly likely to overtake the pair by the end of the year. Almost the perennial No. 3 in the Men’s Singles ATP world rankings, Djokovic has made an explosive start to 2011, winning 18 straight matches and taking three titles, including the... 

2011 PGA Tour: Unfamiliar Names Making an Impression in the FedEx Cup

One would be forgiven if the names currently leading the way in the 2011 US PGA Tour FedEx Cup Standings were not immediately recognizable. Currently the tour is being led by Mark Wilson. He has accumulated 1,055 points so far, but he failed to make a top-10 finish in 2010. Incredibly, he has already won twice this year from the seven tournaments he has played. His first win came in the Sony Open in... 

WGC-Accenture World Match-Play 2011: Players You Can Expect To Be in the Running

England’s Ian Poulter will defend his WGC-Accenture Match Play title this week in Marana, Arizona, against Stewart Cink, winner of the 2009 British Open and a man with a very good record in this tournament. Cink was runner up in this in 2008 to Tiger Woods and finished third in 2007. Poulter won the tournament last year after defeating compatriot Paul Casey 4-and-2 in the final, a win that confirmed...
