We hear athletes say all the time "it's not about the money" or "my family and my faith come first, no matter what," but at this point those statements mostly fall on deaf ears. Fans have been burned to many times to believe that their hero athletes simply play for the love of the game and that, at their core, they have their priorities straight.

Enter Bubba Watson.

Today, Watson tweeted that he'd...

It is my hope that with the PGA Tour in New Orleans this week for the Zurich Classic that no controversies will develop and lead to a black eye for the Tour later on.

Seems to be a trend in NOLA these days. I supposed the football and golf worlds are vastly different, but maybe there is some seedy underworld on Tour that we have yet to discover.

Would you put it past Tiger to have a bounty program...

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 ...

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...

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...

The field is loaded at the WGC-HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai. Too bad very few golf fans will get a chance to watch them go at it.

A 12 hour time difference between Shanghai and the Eastern United States will force fans who don't live a nocturnal lifestyle to miss any live coverage on the Golf Channel. Obviously, it's even worse for people living in the Midwest or on the West Coast, but th...

I am certain of one thing when it comes to the FedEx Cup Playoffs... that you either like it or hate. I know you don't love it, because I haven't heard one person on earth say they love it. It's a playoff system that has its flaws and could be better, but if you take it for what it is, it can be an enjoyable four weeks of golf. I'd personally like to see players get knocked out after each tourname...

Turn back the clock, because we're heading overseas to witness the way golf was played in its infant stage. It happens every year at the Open Championship, giving fans the opportunity to see low scores, extreme hazards and weather conditions that would make most of us not even consi...

Before we get to the John Deere Classic, a quick note on Eldrick...

Covering Tiger Woods has become eerily similar to listening to a broken record of nails being scratched on a chalkboard. That's the sign of the times for the life and career of Eldrick Tont Woods.

Woods announced Tuesday that he will not be playing the British Open this year due to his left knee and achilles injuries. It was an exp...

Can Travelers take the scary out of my picks?

Another week, another set of picks to submit... the cycle is vicious, but I do it for you, dear reader, I swear. It's Travelers Championship week which means will get a healthy dose of Bubba Watson shots and clever insurance commercials. On to the picks...

Last week, I tried out a new system for picking winners by looking at the opening Vegas odds for th...
