I was looking at the LPGA’s 2006 schedule and it certainly does take the women a while to get started. Their first tournament isn’t until Jan 19 (Women’s World Cup of Golf in South Africa) and then it’s a 4 weeks until their next event, the SPS Open at Turtle Bay. I’m curious […]
Well, Tiger Woods made it official and said he was not going to play in the Mercedes Benz Championship next week at Kapalua. His rationale was that he hadn’t prepared properly and wanted some additional time off before he started the season. I can’t blame him at all. Yes, the Tour brass […]
It’s hard to believe but the start of the 2007 season is only 5 days away! The Mercedes Benz Championship is the coming out party for the new FedEx Cup and it will be interesting to see who shows (or doesn’t show). We know for sure that Stuart Appleby will be there as […]
I was perusing the 2006 PGA Tour statistics and while the numbers weren’t a complete suprise, there were a few things that made me chuckle. For example, the names Watson, Holmes, Garrigus, Wetterich, Daly, Hietala, Ridings, Frazier, and Hoffman don’t conjur up much of a top-10 image except that all of the aforementioned finished […]
Lorena Ochoa was named the A.P.’s Female Athlete of the Year for 2006. I say that’s outstanding news for Lorena and it caps an excellent season in which she also unseeded Annika Sorenstam as LPGA Player of the Year as well. As I said in yesterday’s post, she needs to have a great […]
I was reading (almost ad nauseam) the accolades bestowed upon Tiger for winning the A.P. Athlete of the Year and it got me thinking about not only his great year, but Lorena Ochoa’s year as well. How do they top their great year’s of 2006? Or can they? In Tiger’s case, literally […]
Tiger Woods won the A.P. Athlete of the Year Award for 2006. Yes, yet another award that Tiger really doesn’t need. There’s been quite a bit written that suggests Roger Federer should have won for his dominating performance in professional tennis. I’m a huge tennis fan as well and while Federer has […]
For the purpose of this writing, I’ll refer to “international players” as those players that are non-U.S. and non-European-born. This does include players from Australia, South Africa, Fiji, New Zealand, and Asia. I was aware that the international players were well-represented in the top-30 of the year-end money list, but I had no […]
It’s no secret that the European Tour has produced some of the world’s best golfers over the years, and they seem to gel at the same time every two years for the Ryder Cup. Nick Faldo Bernhard Langer, Seve Ballesteros, and Colin Montgomerie are the three that come to mind as stalwarts for the […]
I think 2007 will be a pivotal year for the LPGA. Yes, they are no doubt riding a tremendous wave of interest and I see this continuing for the next decade or so. However, I think there are some short-term question marks that could cause some gear slippage in upcoming season.
First off is […]
