Tiger Woods Wins Chevron World Challenge

I just had that feeling, you know?  Like the feeling you had when Tiger Woods was stepping up to putts at Augusta, or Bay Hill, or Torrey Pines so many years ago.  The only problem, he hadn't done anything meaningful in golf since 2009.  To be exact, it was 749 days and 26 starts, but I still had … [Read more...]

A few months ago, I wrote an article asking which American golfer had the best chance to become #1 if Tiger Woods continues his fall from grace. There was one person on my list that I pretty much wrote off and Steve Stricker proved me wrong today. The win today at The Memorial Tournament gave … [Read more...]

Look, I'm not going to sit here and pile on Kevin Na.  To say he had a rough go around at the 9th hole today during the Valero Texas Open is an understatement.  Now I am not a professional golfer, but I can say pretty confidently I have never written down a 15 on the scorecard.  I can remember a … [Read more...]
