These days in professional golf it seems just about every week we’re battling with some sort of rule that could change the course of a tournament. This week at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship we had one of those rare moments where a high profile golfer got slammed with a two-shot penalty while he […]

Rory McIlroy’s season-ending win conjures up thoughts of Tiger’s win at Sherwood
December 4, 2013 by
Venture back with me to 2011, when the PGA Tour season had long wrapped up and the only tournaments left on the year’s schedule were Silly Season events and pocket-stuffer tournaments for the big names. Tiger Woods was set to host the Chevron World Challenge (now the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge) and while the tournament […]

December 1, 2013 by
This season wasn’t supposed to happen to Rory McIlroy. Nope, this was the year that Rory was expected to sign his monster club and clothing deal with Nike and burst out of the gate with the Swoosh and the swagger and the knowledge that he is the Next Big Thing in the game of golf […]

To say that 2013 has been a disappointment for Rory McIlroy would be an incredible understatement.

Rory McIlroy reminds us that his disappointing 2013 had nothing to do with his equipment change
October 16, 2013 by
There are plenty of seasons that professional athletes hope to forget. For Tiger Woods it was 2010, when the aftermath of a personal scandal filled his life with questions that had little to do with his golf swing or putting stroke. Phil Mickelson was happy to see 2003 fade, as he went winless on the […]

October 14, 2013 by
If reports are true, Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki might finally be done, but for a reason you probably didn’t expect.

No matter what the PGA Tour tells us, this is normally as much of an offseason as we are going to get in the golf world. Tiger Woods hibernates from the world except for paid appearances at certain events, Phil Mickelson is Mr. Family Man more than he usually is, and Rory McIlroy is busy […]
