The first round of the NFL draft airs in prime time tonight and it got me thinking… if the PGA Tour had a draft with all current Tour players available, who would the first pick be? Better yet, what would the Top 10 look like?

Let’s say there are ten owners of “golf teams.” Each team gets one golfer and their stats throughout the year are calculated and put to use in some formula that also includes...

What more can be said about The Masters that hasn’t been said already?

In reality, no words can do justice to the majestic scenery of Augusta National and no words can do justice to describe the battle PGA Tour golfers will face mentally and competitively over the course of four days. 

The Masters speaks for itself. 

The battle for victory is where we can interject, debate and make bold decisions abo...

The day after every golf season is, I start a countdown. Holidays come and go, the weather turns to a winter apocalypse in Chicago, but I keep counting down the days. 

On Thursday, that countdown reaches zero and FINALLY, THE MASTERS have come BACK to my television. For the millions (AND MILLIONS) of Augusta National’s fans, this is the greatest time of the year. The Masters is the major of all of ...

We've gotten through a lot of Internet trends and memes over the last few years. Each explodes, then disappears in the matter of a few weeks. Remember the Harlem Shake? 

What's different this time is a PGA Tour golfer is involved. His name is Jason Dufner. 

It all started with this:

And that led to these:

And a whole lot more.

Enjoy the holiday weekend. Don't forget to buy your loved ones some golf equ...

My intentions were to begin the New Year covering the first PGA Tour tournament of the year, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, HI, but sometimes the wind just blows you in another direction. 

Literally. 

In my lifetime, I don't ever recall so many delays on behalf of wind. I don't remember any wind delays, in fact, which makes the four day delay so extraordinary. No one wants to swing ...

The FedEx Cup used to be an extremely clunky playoff system that the media and fans treated with no reverance whatsoever. It didn't mean anything to win it other than the paycheck and the trophy. That's not how postseason sports are generally revered. It's not about the money - it's about the prestige, bragging rights and etching ones name into the archives as champion forever. 

Winning the FedEx ...

I remember wishing Darren Clarke wouldn't win the British Open. It's a memory that quickly took a 180, as I found myself pulling for the Irishman down the stretch last year. It wasn't that I had anything against Clarke, I just really wanted Phil Mickelson or Dustin Johnson to get a win for the U.S. I had a sliver of hope that Anthony Kim was making a career comeback at the right time or Rickie Fo...

Olympic Field in San Francisco, CA is treating PGA Tour players like a scorned lover. It's standard practice for a U.S. Open course.

ESPN in Bristol, CT is treating golf fans like a bunch of crash test dummies. It hasn't always been standard practice for U.S. Open coverage.

It's one thing to have to stomach the comedic faux pas of Rick Reilly video packages... at least there is good video behind i...

The U.S. Open is not a tradition unlike any other. It's not overseas with a classic jug as its trophy. It doesn't don the name of the golf association.

It's just the hardest test at a major championship every year. It's the national tournament. This year, it's going to be hot right out of the gate as well.

The group of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson is as star studded as it gets. Hav...

Tomorow marks the halfway point for the year and, in turn, the 2012 PGA Tour season. I often do a yearly retrospective on the happenings that made an impact on Tour for the preceding 12 months at the end of the year, but a lot has happened halfway through this year that deserves some attention. This is not a heavily researched retrospective, it's a testament to what truly has made an impact in my ...
