Tiger Woods was the defending champion of the Wachovia Championship held in Charlotte. However, he couldn't make the tournament because of his knee surgery that kept him out. However, I'm not quite sure him playing would have made a...

It was almost like rubber-necking a car accident as you drive by; you didn't really want to watch it, but you had to. Sitting at home taking in the sights and sounds of the Masters, I certainly had big...

If there's one thing I like about certain golfers, it's fire--it's passion, it's personality. Guys like Vijay Singh, who are calculated and basically go from shot to shot and win roboticly--that's not for me. The soft-spoken ones, the ones...

Tiger Woods' victory in the Buick International was just...well, normal. Actually, I can't say that. He once again showed the world why he is in fact the best there is, and the best there ever was to play the...

It was all Weir and Watney. Everyone was talking about what may happen in the showdown between Mike Weir and Nick Watney (including me!), but that did not materialize--what happened was even more dramatic. Riding a sparkling 9 under in...
