While Augusta is my favorite major to watch, and while I consider the U.S. Open to be the toughest major to actually win, there is something about The British Open that makes it the most special of the four. Maybe it’s because it is golf’s oldest championship. Maybe it’s because it’s fun to wake up […]

Already On The Verge Of Greatness?
Imagine signing a talented young girl, literally weeks after her college graduation ceremony, and then less than three weeks later watching her charge to the top of the leader board after three rounds of the biggest tournament in her sport (and her first as a professional). Jeff Chilcoat, President of the Columbus, OH based Sterling […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up
Another busy week of summer has blown by, which means that it is getting closer and closer to my return to lovely Gainesville, Florida. Nothing against the town that UF sits in, but I am getting quite comfortable with spending much of each day down here in South Florida working on Dynasty and this blog. […]
Everyone is anticipating a Lorena Ochoa (pictured)-Annika Sorenstam duel (numbers one and two in the world, respectively; click here for the current women’s world rankings) this weekend at the U.S. Women’s Open at Interlachen Country Club in Minnesota, but as Tiger and Phil show us time and time again, rarely do these much-hyped #1-2 scenarios […]

Tiger Talk By now, you’ve not only been barraged with coverage of Tiger Woods’ latest heroic feat–a sliding left to right putt for birdie at the Arnold Palmer Invitational that ranks just short of divine–but you’ve also heard that Tiger’s “streak” fell short Monday morning at Doral to the Puma-clad Geoff Ogilvy (pictured).

SFX meets PETA It’s a good thing for Tripp Isenhour that we no longer run a ‘Nightmare Clients Of the Week’ column anymore. As you’ve probably already read, Isenhour, represented by John Mascatello and SFX Golf, faces misdemeanor criminal charges (up to 14 months in prison and $5,000, if convicted, per government sources) for his […]

The Primary Cut

Over the years, some players have been more vocal than others about their political leanings. No one will ever forget in 1993, for example, when Ryder Cup team member Paul Azinger […]
