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...

Awww, so sad. Defending champion Tiger Woods is not playing in the Wachovia Championship. His knee surgery is keeping him out until June, and so the fans around Charlotte will just have to make due with the other professionals....

You know, so much has been made over the past year whether Tiger Woods is, in fact, the best men's golf player ever, and deservedly so. His resume is something that would make Bill Gates drool over (ok, sorry...

Yeah, yeah, I know, more news about Tiger Woods. But at least this is not about how he dominated a tournament--to the contrary, actually. Woods underwent arthroscopic surgery today on his left knee, which is actually the second time...

The oddsmakers have it marked, almost begging you not to take it--Tiger Woods is a 1:1 odds on favorite to win it. Have you ever seen a bigger event that has a more certain winner? I mean, we are...

Tiger Woods had a very impressive streak of consecutive wins. And while really no one overall was terribly surprised that he did what he did, here's another number for you to chew on: 70. That's the number of majors...

Geoff Ogilvy lead wire to wire. It was a great feat. But of course, the biggest news of the CA Championships at Doral was that the King had fallen. Tiger Woods was beaten. While golf is a sport where...

Tiger Woods has been unstoppable, unbelievable, and inhuman. He's won everything he's attempted, but barring another once-in-a-lifetime comebacks, the king's reign will be over. After basically dominating the World Golf Championships 15 of 26 times he's played in them,...

Geoff Ogilvy has done something that hasn't happened very often on the PGA Tour this season--lead both the opening and second rounds. But, somehow, that doesn't seem to matter on the larger scale of things when you consider Tiger...

Yeah, yeah, everyone is interested in Tiger Woods and if he can keep his streak alive. Yes, this is the first back-to-back event PGA wise in quite some time. Will it make a difference? Well, that's impossible to surmise...

I don't want people to think that I am this Tiger Woods worshipper or that there's no other news other than Woods, but the issue is--when you are talking about the world of professional golf, he's not giving me...

With a performance that really--honestly--no one could have predicted, Fred Couples shot an amazing 65 in the opening round at Bay Hill (Orlando, Fla), and took the lead. Even though Couples is a proven winner and a veteran who...

How long has it been since a penalty has been assessed on the PGA tour for slow play? Tick tock, tick tock...time's up. Just like it should be for all golfers who basically are ignoring the rule of timely...

It was Lorena Ochoa’s first tournament of the LPGA year. Would she be sharp? Would she be able to make a start that she seemed to finish at last year, when she dominated women’s golf? Well, the answer was...

The World Golf Championship Match Play event is a study in endurance; to those that win, they have to consistently play tough, both physically and mentally. Like the NCAA Basketball tournament, while there are teams that are seeded as...

The World Golf Championship Match Play tournament has had its share of excitement; many matches have not only been tight, but many have had to go into extra innings, so to speak. Kudos to the bracket makers, it certainly...

Tiger Woods has definitely gained the world's top spot--and then some. He's played in two tournaments and won them both. He's continued to dominate the sport like no one has ever done--so the logic is that with this ranking,...

Alright, that's a little bit dramatic, don't you think? But anyways--there has been a lot of speculation lately about whether Phil Mickelson or Vijay Singh holds the the "true" second ranking in the world. This is largely due in...

For years it seemed Annika Sorenstam would rule golf; and for years, she did. She has won 69 LPGA tournaments and is a shoo-in for the hall of fame. At 37, not many people could ask for more. But...

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...

He looked obviously sick--the droopy eyes, the rosy-ish nose, that look of "I so want to be home". So what does Tiger Woods do at his own tournament, the Target World Challenge? He shoots a 62, sets a course AND...

He was a mere 15 feet from history--actually, he was a few inches when it came down to it (see picture). The last opportunity for Tiger Woods to eclipse history (again) was just a hair off when it lipped out,...
