The Good

The immediacy of sports journalism is so overwhelming these days that questions started to be raised about how many majors Bubba Watson will win in his career before his first green jacket was buttoned up.

It's a double edged sword. On one hand it's great to know everything as soon as possible, but it also doesn't give any genuinely great story the chance to marinate in our sports mind. We ...

One day is in the books at Augusta National and though weather played a small factor in how the course played for the morning and afternoon groups, it wasn't going to make a difference for Lee Westwood.

Westwood finished atop the leaderboard - his first time in this position after the first round of any major - at -5, one stroke ahead of Peter Hanson. Unless you've been living under a rock as a gol...

Welcome, friends....to a tradition unlike any other. I'm eagerly anticipating those words from Jim Nantz this weekend as well as the soothing piano music that accompanies the scenic views only Augusta National can provide. Nothing about The Masters ever gets old. No matter who wins each year, there are always compelling stories emina...

Now that Tiger Woods has gotten himself back in the win column, it's no surprise that those who judge golf for a living are looking for more. Woods went 30 months between wins, and though he has made significant progress in the past 6 months in his quest to return to the "Old Tiger," many in the golf media are proclaiming that he won't he won't officially be back until he wins another major champi...

Lots of action on the PGA Tour this week, including the Tavistock Cup and Arnold Palmer Invitational. Tavistock is already underway and the Arnold Palmer kicks off on Thursday from Bay Hill Country Club & Lounge in Orlando, FL.

If Tavistock is just a blip on your golf radar and you're ready to get into API already, tune into live interviews on PGATour.com today. Martin Laird is up at 11am CT and C...

Fantasy sports have completely swallowed fans of nearly every sport around the world. It's a big money franchise that yields heartache and crazy swings of emotion from one extreme to the next.

Fantasy golf is no different. Pick four golfers each week and whoever makes the most money makes you look the smartest. Like a Nostradomus of golf results.

Well, believe it or not, Nostradomus I am not.

I pa...

Without question, 2011 was the year of Luke Donald. He was No. 1 in the world and the PGA Tour money list and played dominant golf the entire year. We're used to filling in Tiger Woods' name when discussing who was the standout player of the year, but since his drop off, it's been a welcome addition to highlight the play of other golfers on Tour.

We're still very early into 2012, but if the first ...

This space has been occasionally used to call out the golf media, most notably for the overreactions spewed across the Internet about the life and struggles of Tiger Woods. I've posted opinions on both sides of the argument, desperately hoping for a return to golf-god-status and tearing him down for some poor decisions. The focus this time isn't so much on what the media did, but how legendary gol...

The 2012 season is well underway, but for me, it truly gets started today as the Accenture Match Play opens up at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain in Marana, AZ.

I’m a sucker for a bracket, and even though I failed to find an online league that lets you make picks and tracks the progress so I could open this up to a challenge, I’ll take the old school paper bracket anyway.

Instead of tryi...

Oh boy. Tiger Woods must have won a tournament or crashed his SUV again, because everywhere you look on the collection of sports web sites across the Internet, you're going to see his name.

In reality, his actions didn't fall at either end of that spectrum, for all he did was fail to close out a tournament on Sunday while being paired with Phil Mickelson. This is the new theme of media coverage as...
