Tiger Woods
Louis Oosthuizen won the first major championship of his career with no previous history and with an outstanding performance that has created some comparisons with Number One ranked player in the world. Although
golf betting fans, should consider that Tiger Woods still remains the world’s Number One.
For his part, Oosthuizen moved up to No.15 after winning the British Open. The 27-year-old professional golfer was the leader in the middle of the second round of this championship and kept the level until he won the title.
Of this championship, there are two things that I want to highlight: The surprising victory of Louis Oosthuizen and the disappointment of Tiger Woods, as ...
I have no idea what the Pebble Beach Company's finances are. I'm sure it takes a boat load of money to maintain Pebble and the rest of the courses. Still, there has to be a way for the average Joe and Jane to play 'America's Course'. Until that happens, it won't get my vote.
That was fun yesterday watching Phil and his "birdie-barrage" yesterday at the US Open. Man, that guy can really turn it on at times. I guess that's why we all seem to love Phil.
I couldn't help but notice the inherent differences between Phil and Tiger yesterday. Even though Tiger is playing well he just looks a bit out of it - almost like he has lost his golf "superpowers" that he once held so near and dear. It's now this facadeless character who just doesn't look comfortable in his own shoes.
Compared to Phil, who is just an innately likable character. Just looks likes he's having a ball out there (I ...
Can Tiger remake his swing once more? Can he give up some of his power persona and start hitting fairways and maybe spare his body more injury? Nick, Tiger, someone send the other a text and let's get this thing done!
If you're like me, you're probably a little tired of Tiger Woods stories except if they are directly golf related. However, every once in awhile someone really gets the big picture and writes a nice piece.
I've mentioned Bill Reynolds, a Providence Rhode Island sports writer before. Bill is not your average sports page reporter. When you want something more cerebral, he's usually the guy who delivers.
He wrote a really spectacular piece about Tiger Woods, the wunderkind golfer of the last decade, and how all the pieces fit together for us the sports/golf fan. To whet your appetite ...
Anyone who's meditating seriously every day has a much better pespective on the 'big picture' than Tiger demonstrates. With Tiger's swing issues on the tee box getting worse, it's clear that Haney's instruction isn't helping Tiger anymore than it did Charles Barkley. While I like Stevie Williams, Tiger needs a caddy willing to slap him on the course when he acts like a spoiled brat.
Maybe it's the curse of getting older, I'm not really sure, but not a whole heck of a lot seems to surprise me. So to see Tiger Woods 2 back at the Masters going into the weekend doesn't really surprise me.
Why doesn't it surprise me? because you just don't lose talent like Tiger has. Sure there is going to be some rust but Tiger has been working with Hank Haney prior to the Master's and working hard to get the machine working optimally again.
So he has been working on his game and he still looks like an NFL strong safety so it appears he has been hitting the gym hard, ...
I don’t expect Tiger to win at Augusta, but as always you risk being made to look foolish if you bet against him. I do expect to see him amaze us during the course of the season.
I was just reading this piece on the Golf Channel site on how Tom Watson expressed his concern about how Tiger's off-the-course behavior is affecting the game:
“It’s bad for our game,” Watson said of the Woods’ sex scandal in an interview with KSHB-TV, a Kansas City NBC affiliate. “It’s something he needs to get control of and a handle on and make some amends and show some humility to the public when he comes back.”
Watson said some of Woods’ questionable behavior on the course can’t be ignored, either.
“His swearing and his club throwing, that should end,” Watson said. “That’s not part of what we want to project as far as ...
Who can question the taking, with record professional purses and at least one golf superstar earning in excess of $100 million a year. To put that in perspective, that's the amount that the U.S. government has pledged for Haiti relief, a country were it is estimated 200,000 people may have lost their lives in an earthquake and its aftermath.
And what do we, the public who ultimately funds the PGA Tour and professional sports in general, get out of these businesses that throw off fantastic wealth for a few? For one, the privilege to watch professional sports on TV. Is that about it? How about insight into the lives of the golfing heroes ...
