Rory McIlroy Battling Inconsistency and Lofty Expectations at 2014 British Open

Ever since being recognized as a golfing prodigy destined to contend for major titles, it has been assumed that Rory McIlroy would one day reign as champion of the British Open. This is the perfect week to fulfill that promise, before unmet expectations make critics feel entitled to set the hounds nipping at his heels. As a native of Northern Ireland and a citizen of the United Kingdom, the 25-year-old... 

Why British Open-US Open Double Is Among Golf’s Toughest Feats

All 156 players in this week’s British Open have a chance to hoist the champion’s Claret Jug, but only one has a shot at completing a feat that has been accomplished by only six players in the history of golf. That’s Martin Kaymer, who’s seeking to join legends Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson and Tiger Woods as the only players to win the U.S. Open... 

Then and Now: Tiger Woods Back at Royal Liverpool After Emotional 2006 Title

Even the biggest Tiger Woods fan has to concede that there has often been a robotic undertone to his game and his demeanor. But don’t be surprised if he steps away from a shot this week, and a wave of obvious emotion sweeps across his normally steely face as the British Open returns to Royal Liverpool. This course, in the English town of Hoylake, is where the world truly saw Woods’ human... 

Tiger Woods’ Speedy Return from Back Surgery Comes with Warning Signs

Tiger Woods no doubt can afford the best medical advice in the world. My question: Is he following it? Love or hate Tiger, it’s welcomed news for golf fans that he’ll tee it up at Congressional next week and play in the Quicken Loans National that’s tied to his foundation. Golf simply shines brighter when he’s in the field, no matter whether he’s on the leaderboard... 

Martin Kaymer Elevates to Golf’s Elite with 2014 US Open Victory

It’s time to revise the debate about who the best golfer under the age of 30 is. Martin Kaymer shuffled that deck in a big way Sunday with one of the most dominating U.S. Open triumphs of this century. Tiger Woods was better while winning at 12 under in 2000, and Rory McIlroy was a record-setting 16 under in 2011, but Kaymer can take a place right alongside them after finishing nine under and... 

Martin Kaymer on Verge of Making Golfing History for Germany at 2014 US Open

It isn’t often that we’ve seen German athletes dominate their sport while competing on American soil, but Martin Kaymer appears destined to join that very select group with a victory at the U.S. Open. The Dusseldorf-born 29-year-old wasn’t nearly as overwhelming in Saturday’s third round as he was while shooting consecutive rounds of 65 the first two days. Yet, despite a two-over... 

The No-Tiger Effect: How Woods’ Absence Is Taking the Glow off Golf’s Majors

As golf prepares for a second straight major without its biggest name, exactly how much does the sport miss Tiger Woods? Oh, only about as much as you’d miss your lungs if you woke up without them tomorrow. That acknowledgement of the obvious tends to infuriate Tiger haters and all those who cling to the mistaken belief that no individual can be bigger than the game. Face it: Woods has been the... 

Is Martin Kaymer Back in Elite Form with Wild Win at 2014 Players Championship?

The universe messed with Martin Kaymer Sunday at The Players Championship. Specifically, it was Mother Nature having some wicked fun on Mother’s Day. But the lightning storm that interrupted what was shaping up as an easy march to one of golf’s biggest titles gave us a chance to truly assess the 29-year-old German. And that Kaymer survived despite some very curious play on the final... 

20-Year-Old Jordan Spieth on the Brink of Masters History

There are many sports records we think of as virtually unbreakable. Among them, Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak and Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point night. But one that suddenly looks very vulnerable is Tiger Woods’ record as the youngest Masters champion. Jordan Spieth, who won’t reach the legal drinking age until July, will take dead aim at Woods’ mark on Sunday,... 

How the Masters Became the World’s Greatest Golf Tournament

With the approach of this year’s Masters, it’s once again time for Jim Nantz to whisper in our ears that we’re about to savor “A tradition unlike any other.” But it isn’t just Nantz’s repetition of his Masters catchphrase that makes us buy into the belief that Augusta National is every bit as unique a golfing experience as when astronaut Alan Shepard turned...
