Charles Howell III - Give Him A Break

We finally have a twenty-something American seriously competing come Sunday afternoon (though he’s 0-fer) and the golf experts can’t cut him some slack. He took Tiger the full 15 rounds and while he didn’t win, I don’t think he lost by a K.O. (or even T.K.O.) either. Howell III is learning how to win […]

Funk Can’t Let Go

Fred Funk is in a position most 50+ year-old professionals would love to be in. He lapped the field at the Champions Tour event at Turtle Bay this past weekend and won by 11 shots. The problem is (at least for the Champions Tour) is that he wants to keep playing the PGA […]

Woods vs. Federer

Everywhere you looked today, there was someone comparing Tiger Woods and Roger Federer. Comparisons in sport are always difficult and in the end are nothing more than water-cooler fodder because you can’t really compare professionals from two completely different sports. However, I will say that number of competitors Woods has to beat in […]

Woods Extends Win Streak

Tiger Woods let the rookies know who rules the tour today, in startling fashion, by winning his 7th consecutive PGA tournament, the Buick Invitational. It was a close tournament on the back nine as Andrew Buckle and Jeff Quinney appeared to have the tournament in hand. But both rookies made a couple of […]

Golf Technology For The Masses

I was reading some reports from the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show and Convention and it appears to me that this year, more than ever, having the latest and greatest technology is more important than just enjoying the game for what it offers. Call me old-school I guess. There are the new drivers that […]

Too Soon For Shootout?

Okay, it’s only the third event of the young season, but is it too early to hope for a shootout between Woods, Singh, and Mickelson? I don’t think so. Primarily because Singh is playing very well (his 34th place finish at the Sony Open notwithstanding) and Tiger seems to be full of confidence […]

Tiger’s First Appearance in 2007

The golf world is abuzz with excitement simply because this week is Tiger Woods’ first appearance of 2007. And it’s at one of Tiger’s favorite tracks: Torrey Pines in San Diego. Oddly enough, there are some people who don’t feel the same excitement as most, and that’s mainly the players that have to […]

He’s Back!

It’s official, finally. Hale Irwin is back in the winner’s circle after winning the 2007 MasterCard Championship at Hualalai this past weekend. Irwin left no doubt that at least on this day, he was the man to beat as Jim Thorpe and Tom Kite trailed Irwin by 5 shots when all was said […]

Hoffman Steals a Win

Charley Hoffman made an unlikely eagle on the 72nd hole to force a playoff at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in Palm Desert, California. Hoffman beat John Rollins on the first hole of sudden death with a par when Rollins couldn’t get up and down after mis-hitting his 2nd shot out of a fairway […]
