May 20, 2015 by
Rory McIlroy is in really good shape, but he wasn’t always the bulging mass of muscle he is now. He was once a little pudgy and a whole lot of curly. Now more clean cut, in shape and on top of the golf world, McIlroy figures the sport’s popularity would improve if more of his […]

December 20, 2014 by
One of the biggest knocks on how the PGA of America handles the Ryder Cup is the lack of continuity from one captain to the next. Ben Hogan was the last man to lead the U.S. into consecutive matches, back in 1947 and ’49. While there’s some discussion from one administration to the next, the […]

A week ago, Brandel Chamblee, an analyst on The Golf Channel pinned a report card of sorts for the 2013 PGA Tour season on Golf.com, and the most popular man in the game (and the ’13 PGA Tour Player of the Year) got the grunt of Chamblee’s red ink. Woods was given a “F” for […]
