Tiger Woods: 10 Ways in Which the Game of Golf Has Changed Since the Car Crash

It was a year ago that the strange Tiger Woods car crash story crept across the news wires. Little could anyone have guessed the change in the game of golf that this story would signify. Of course, it wasn’t just the car crashing into the tree that changed the game, but it was that story that started the odd chain of events that would ultimately follow. To some of us, it was and still is... 

Tiger Woods Is Up and Down Down Under: Where To From Here?

Tiger Woods‘ week in Australia was, for the latter half of 2010 at least, fairly predictable. Up and down golf and nowhere near winning; yet, some small, positive signs. Woods actually finished in fourth at the JBWere Masters in Melbourne. A strong finish on Sunday shot him up the leader board, although never into contention to win. Aussie Stuart Appleby matched Tiger’s round of 65 on Sunday... 

PGA in China: 10 Players Who Impressed at the WGC-HSBC Champions Tournament

The WGC-HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai showed off the power of the European golfers, and specifically new No. 1 player in the world Lee Westwood and Italian Francesco Molinari. In the end the two ran away from the rest of the field, and ultimately Molinari outlasted the top-rated Englishman. But for Westwood, it was a victory of sorts, as he will retain the No. 1 world ranking. Going into the... 

American Golfers Struggle in China: Tiger Woods Is Top Yankee, Tied for 17th

Granted, it isn’t a huge delegation the Americans brought to Shanghai, but they had to have been hoping for something a little better than this. Through three rounds of the WGC-HSBC Champions tournament in China, the Europeans are flexing their golf muscles while the Americans are looking around sheepishly, hoping no one notices them. Of the 11 Americans in the field of 77, no one is closer... 

Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood Come Out Firing in China As They Battle for No.1

The top four players in golf are in Shanghai battling not only for the WGC-HSBC Champions title, but for the right to be called the No. 1 golfer in the world as well. Newly No. 1-ranked Lee Westwood, No. 2 Tiger Woods, No. 3 Martin Kaymer and No. 4 Phil Mickelson are all in China. The star-studded event may be the last big tournament of the year, although the JBWere Masters tournament in...

With our thoughts firmly focused on politics this election day, naturally someone had to sit down and tackle the all important question: Who would make the best politician among professional golfers? And, since we’re at it, why not give a list of the top 10? For the sake of this being election day in the United States, we’ll confine our list to Americans. Sorry Colin!

Tiger Woods: Lee Westwood’s No. 1 Ranking Jeopardized If Woods Rocks China

Lee Westwood has taken over the top spot in golf’s world rankings from Tiger Woods, but the Englishman’s reign at the top of the golf world could be short-lived. Tiger Woods, Martin Kaymer and Phil Mickelson are all in position, with a strong showing at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, to possibly move up ahead of Westwood and claim the top spot. Westwood ended Tiger’s run... 

Cigar Guy and Golf’s Top 25 Characters

One of the great images of the recent Ryder Cup was Miguel Angel Jimenez (the most interesting man in the world) smoking his victory cigar. Somehow he became symbolic of the European team and their carefree manner. Another celebrity was born when a British golf fan dressed up like Jimenez during the Ryder Cup … and became “Cigar Guy.” On that note, here is a list of the top 25 characters... 

Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood or Martin Kaymer: Who Is No. 1 and Why?

As you’ve probably heard by now, should Tiger Woods stick to his current planned fall schedule and not play in a tournament until the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai in early November, Lee Westwood will overtake him at the end of this month for the No. 1 spot in the golf world rankings. The same Lee Westwood who has hardly swung a golf club in the last three months, by the way. Seems like...
