How is it, everyone in the U.S. watching the final round of the Buick knew Tiger would win? Nathan Green had the tournament locked up heading into the tees on the seventeenth hole. Up by two strokes on the field, all he had to do was par out, and he would have been the Buick champion. On the first playoff hole he had, by far, the best drive and he blew it. Jose Maria Olazabal did nothing to tempt fate, on two playoff holes. It was as if fate had deemed it necessary for Tiger ...

Sorry for those of you who are looking for a golf blog. I figured with the upcoming Superbowl, this story would be appropriate. Also, I apologize for the length, I just couldn’t bring myself to cut anything out. When I was just a young lad dreaming of being the next Dan Marino, I envied his tan, his passing ability, and the love that the entire state of Florida gave him. He had the stature of a Greek god in my adolescent eyes. I imagined coming from behind passing to Mark Duper and Mark Clayton in my pretend ...

Roger Clemens, Matthew McConaughey, and Justin Timberlake make a mockery of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic: “Say man, you got a joint?” – Wooderson (McConaughey in Dazed and Confused) “Er. Not on me man,” answers a 14-15 year old incoming freshman, “Mitch.” “It’d be a lot cooler if you did,” replies McConaughey in his Southern drawl.

On the 22nd of February, Vijay Singh turns 43 years old. Given his age, one might think that Vijay is ready to start falling from contention with the elite golfers of the world. The irony is that Vijay has been getting better, it seems, with age. At forty-one he finished first on the money list, ahead of Tiger, and last year finished second with over $8,000,000 in earnings. At this time, he seems not only viable competition for Tiger Woods, but possibly the better of the two. A Fiji native, this man seems poised to ...

Imagine flying from one destination to another, forgetting which time zone you’re in. You have a home, but the only time you see it is when you decide that you do not need the money. Knowing the bartender’s name at each clubhouse doesn’t make you an alcoholic, it’s just networking. Your wife and kids have to take a flight to see you, but on the bright side, you are no longer scared of turbulence; you’ve been through it a hundred times! For these reasons, Tiger, Phil, and “The Goose” did not make it to Hawaii for The Mercedes Championships. The ...
