Ocho Sets LPGA Timetable

Lorena Ocho made a suprise announcement yesterday and said that she only plans on playing the LPGA Tour for 10 years and then will retire to a “normal” life. Lorena said, “”There are things that make me a little sad, but I accept them because I have to make a sacrifice to go far,” […]

Michelle Wie - One More Time

It’s become an annual event in Hawaii. The Michelle Wie attempt-to-make-a-men’s-cut party at the Sony Open. Unfortunately for Wie, the odds of her making a cut in a men’s event are far worse now than when she was 14 years old. She hasn’t broke 75 in her last 8 rounds against the […]

Mark Rolfing Steals The Show

I know, the Mercedes Benz Championship was supposed to be the christening of the Kelly Tilghman and Nick Faldo long-term broadcasting partnership, but quite frankly, Mark Rolfing stole the show. I thought Rolfing did a tremendous job of weaving all the announcers (including Tilghman and Faldo) into the telecast and at the same time, […]

Singh Wins FedEx Cup Kickoff Tournament

Vijay Singh started the PGA year off with a bang by winning the 2007 Mercedes Benz Championship at Kapalua by 2 over Adam Scott. It was obvious very early that Singh came to play well and even though Scott made a mini-run at him, this tournament was really Singh’s to lose.
I’m still trying to […]

On The Clock - Needs Fixing

While watching the third round of the Mercedes Benz Championship at Kapalua, co-leader (at the time) Will McKenzie and his playing partner J.B. Holmes were “put on the clock” by Tour officials because of their slow play. However, there is something inherently wrong with putting both players on the clock. If it is […]

Vijay Looking Strong

It’s only one round into the 2007 season, but Vijay Singh is already looking like the Vijay of a few years ago, when he took the number one ranking from Tiger Woods. Singh isn’t running away with the Mercedes Benz Championship by any stretch, but he’s swinging with lots of confidence and the putter […]

Let The Season Begin

It’s official now. The 2007 PGA season began today at Kapalua for the Mercedes Benz Championship. Probably the most interesting thing to note (Woods/Mickelson missing notwithstanding) is that the Golf Channel is broadcasting all four rounds. The only time you see all four rounds broadcast is typically for the majors, but the […]

Tiger’s Priorities

The golf columns have been awash with speculation about Tiger’s upcoming priorities now that he has a baby on the way. Though no official due date has been published, it’s probably safe to say that come late summer or early fall, Tiger might not be as popular as one might think. The FedEx […]

Early Season Picks

I’m generally not very good at this, but I thought I’d give it another try. Here’s my picks for the majors in 2007:

Masters
Phil Mickelson
Yeah Phil took a beating last summer at the U.S. Open, but I see Augusta turning into his personal playground. He’s finally figured out how to win there and I […]

The FexEd Cup - Here To Stay?

The season hasn’t even officially started yet but I’m already wondering about the viability of the FedEx Cup. The top-25 on the PGA Tour certainly don’t need the money, but those players that are always looking for the low-hanging fruit on the tour are going to love the chance of playing for $10 million […]
