Winners and losers from an incredibly exciting PGA Championship

This past weekend saw a lot of great storylines and we are here to give you the good and the bad of it. Here are our winners and losers from the past week in golf. Winners Rory McIlroy — I think it is finally safe to compare this man to whoever you want, picking up […]
Even without his best stuff, Rory McIlroy is in a position to snag a second straight major championship
August 10, 2014 by
Rory McIlroy doesn’t usually have to deal with this stuff. Normally when he wins a major he grabs the lead, runs away from his competitors and cruises to victory. Even last month at the British Open it never seemed like McIlroy would actually lose the lead he built the first three days, and despite “only” […]

A different Rory McIlroy takes mid-round adversity and turns it around on Thursday at the PGA Championship
August 8, 2014 by
The old Rory McIlroy wouldn’t be a story this Thursday at Valhalla. The pre-2014 McIlroy would have let the middle of his round on day one trip him up, ruin his card, doom his week and force him to another disappointing major championship. McIlroy might only be 25, but he’s changed, and it has never […]
PGA Championship odds have Rory McIlroy a heavy, heavy favorite at Valhalla
August 5, 2014 by
The final major is upon us this week, with the PGA Championship wrapping up a very different year for the PGA. Tiger Woods is questionable to even play this week after withdrawing on Sunday at the Bridgestone Invitational, while Rory McIlroy won his second event in a row at Firestone and comes in the heavy […]
Hale Irwin turned back the clock, and bested his age, at the 3M Championship
August 2, 2014 by
It’s one of the magical numbers in the game of golf and although this magical number varies depending on the golfer, it’s still quite significant and only the best in the world can even dream of pulling it off, yet for Hale Irwin, shooting his age at the 3M Championship has become old hat. It […]
