The Outburst
Another G—d— it from the lips of Tiger Woods filled the airways early Monday morning in response to an errant tee shot that likely ended his hopes for extending his winning streak at the WGC-CA.
I also knew that a cameraman had snapped a picture too soon at the ninth [...]

2008 Masters Coverage - Thru 4/15
The WGC-CA at Doral showcased some major league talent in one of the most star studded leaderboards in recent history. Tiger Woods finished 5th and the other members of the top five were all former major winners. The bottom half of the top ten wasn’t too shabby either as it [...]

Geoff Ogilvy has a big opportunity facing him this weekend at the WGC-CA Championships. He could be the man that takes down THE MAN and ends the streak. Ogilvy’s the 2006 U.S. Open champion, and he won 11 straight matches at the 2006-07 editions of the WGC-Accenture Match Play, so he knows a thing or [...]

Sam Snead’s 82 PGA Tour victories are looming in front of Tiger Woods like high beams on a deserted highway. This much talked about record has led to a complete overestimation of Snead’s rightful place in golf’s hierarchy of champions. Snead-o-mania is getting so bad that noted golf writer Dave Anderson suggested for a [...]
