Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty for Adam Scott?

At 32, Adam Scott is at the crossroads of his career. A very good golfer, Scott has yet to cross over into the realm of great golfer and—if he seriously wants to be known as a great golfer—is starting to run out of time to really make a push to claim the number one spot on the Official World Golf Rankings list. Therein lies the rub with Scott. He has all the talent in the world to be one... 

Why the Anchor Putting Ban Will Hurt Casual Golfers More Than Pros

The United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews formally proposed Wednesday to ban anchor putting starting January 1, 2016. While their logic of keeping all the clubs in the bag as free-swinging is noble, they are fixing a problem that simply does not exist and it affects you. Why? The USGA and R&A create the rules that we all play by. The rule book you... 

Is Luke Donald Destined to Be This Generation’s Colin Montgomerie?

It may not seem fair at first to compare Colin Montgomerie to Luke Donald, as the younger Donald is hitting the prime of his career, but they already share some striking similarities. At first, Montgomerie and Donald were completely different players. Monty played with an arrogance that did not match his skill level in the big events, while Donald has all the talent in the world but not the self-confidence... 

Ranking the 10 Men’s Golfers You Need to Follow on Twitter

You might think that the PGA Tour is old-school with stodgy personalities and a general lack of comfort in social media skills, but you would be wrong. Yeah, Tiger Woods is very vanilla on Twitter and Phil Mickelson does not even have a Twitter account, but Gary Player and Sir Nick Faldo do. As with Justin Beiber, Twitter can make a star out of someone from out of nowhere. While the LPGA not only embraces... 

Power Ranking the Best Rookies on the PGA Tour

One of the toughest things to do during a golfer’s rookie season on the PGA Tour is be successful. Yet in 2012, four rookies won, and one golfer was able to play himself into the TOUR Championship. There are no big phenom names in the 65 players who played for the first time on tour, but some will become household names as they break through and win either a World Golf Championship event or a... 

Power Ranking the Best Non-Majors on the PGA Tour

We all know about golf’s big four tournaments—the majors. What about the other 36 weeks of the year? Where do the other tournaments rank behind the Masters, U.S. Open, Open Championship and the PGA?

PGA Tour: The Most Dominant Stars by Decade Since 1930

While most of us are familiar with the current crop of stars that dominate on the PGA Tour, the concept of an actual professional tour dates back to the early 1930s. If you go back to 1930, you would see that of the four tournaments we call major championships now, only two of them were considered majors at the dawn of professional tour golf. In fact when Bobby Jones won what was considered the grand...

5 Things to File Away for 2013 PGA Tour Season

So, the 2012 golf season is behind us. Yes, there are a few events on the PGA Tour Fall Series calendar and there will be some rounds played for television’s silly season, but as they scrub the champagne out of the carpets at Medinah, the next serious golf to be played in this country will be in January in Hawaii.
