Why Hath the Golf Gods Forsaken Sergio Garcia Print E-mail

Sergio is searching for answers this week at SawgrassThe last we saw Sergio Garcia, the 29-year-old Spaniard with a penchant for speaking his mind was looking disinterested if not downright disgusted as he wallowed his way around Quail Hollow Club.

Sergio shot an unflattering 78 to miss the cut Friday, and he didn't need to discuss his round with the media once he finished in order to convey how he was feeling. His body language said it all.

Losing at Bay Hill Sucked Print E-mail

Your 2009 Quail Hollow Champion Sean O'HairWith the set fading to black at Bay Hill in mid-March, Tiger Woods knocked out Sean O'Hair with one of his trademark big money putts on the 18th green. At Quail Hollow, O'Hair played the part of Manny Pacquiao leaving Woods resigned to the role of Ricky Hatton, dizzied and dropped to the canvas by a young player on the rise and a golf course in major championship form.

It was sweet revenge for O'Hair, who was quickly branded as the latest in a string of PGA Tour players to crumble under the weight of Woods' considerable legend after he flamed out at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Mickelson Has the Chance to Make '09 His Best Season on Tour Print E-mail

Phil MickelsonIt's not a bad time to be second best.

Miss California Carrie Prejean is the most famous runner-up in the history of Miss USA, and is cashing in on her pro "opposite marriage" stance. Larry Fitzgerald's Arizona Cardinals lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII, but Fitzgerald still managed to grace the cover of Madden 2009. And Hillary Clinton has parlayed her bridesmaid finish in the Democratic Presidential Primary into a gig as the world's top diplomat, U.S. Secretary of State.

TV Networks Could Face Penalty if Golfers Drop F-Bomb on Air Print E-mail

Golf can be an angry gameGolf is a game of honesty and decency, but it's also just so damn difficult that on occassion one just can't help but let an obscenity fly on the course, or in the case of professionals, in front of the cameras.

Numbers are no doubt helpful when comparing the careers of two players who competed in different eras, or present-day athletes who are competing side by side. Unfortunately, it's likely that the two sides of the debate, after much spirited discussion, will arrive at an impasse.

HSBC Champions Tournament Elevated to WGC Status Print E-mail

World Golf Championships HSBC ChampionsWith Tuesday's announcement in Shanghai disclosing that China's HSBC Champions event has been elevated to World Golf Championships status, the lucrative WGC series immediately added a layer of legitimacy to its title by including an international venue in a tournament series that touts itself as a worldwide competition.

Sounding a bit like the villainous Dr. Evil character of Austin Powers fame, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem stopped short of fantasizing about global domination saying, "The map of the golf world may never look the same."
