Click here to listen. Golf Analyst Johnny Miller maintains that Tiger Woods was not missed at either the Tour Championship or the Ryder Cup. He has even gone so far as to blame Woods for Team USA’s problematic history. I can understand Miller’s Ryder Cup theory as Tiger Woods has rarely been known to be a team player but, taking his idea a step further, would the PGA Tour be better off with, or without Woods? It’s true that some of Miller’s off-the-cuff commentary can be a bit absurd (Mediate “looks like the guy who cleans Tiger’s swimming pool, for example") but ...

It was hard not to notice the dejected expression in the eyes of Anthony Kim on Saturday after his teammate, Phil Mickelson, blew his putt on the seventeenth hole to lose to Stenson and Wilson. Kim’s outstretched hand failed to find Mickelson’s even though earlier pairings found the team of Kim/Mickelson to be a solid one. Kim’s victory against Garcia on Sunday proved that it was Mickelson who was the taildragger for Team USA. I understand that Phil is interested in obtaining his European Tour card. I say, let’s trade Lefty to Team Europe in 2010 for Justin ...

There were farms and cows everywhere and both Barry and I felt the history of the area as we passed through the bucolic countryside. Who would have ever imagined such beauty existed outside of the confines of the City? But, once I heard that Turning Stone Resort is one of the top-five tourist destinations in the entire State, I could understand why! The Oneida Indian Nation opened Turning Stone in 1993 and ...

Left with no other options to secure their prodigy an LPGA Tour card, Team Wie has decided that Michelle is taking a crack at Q-School! At her last hurrah, the State Farm Classic, Michelle actually had a chance to strut her stuff and prove to the world that she could place high up on the leaderboard, possibly even win! However, Wie left the trailer without signing her scorecard, earning a DQ and forcing her into the position in which she now stands, that is having to play the first stage of LPGA Q-School next week in California. This may not be such ...

And baby makes FOUR including Tiger Woods, Elin and Sam! Elin is pregnant once again, proving to skeptics that life is great for the world’s number-one golfer sans golf. No pressures of the FedEx Cup (Vijay Singh seems to have this series of events wrapped up anyway), the Ryder Cup (Team USA is going to unify thanks to his respite) or any of the final tournaments of the season which might have commanded his attention. Nope! The knee injury was perfect timing to work on building the nest. Tiger Woods has considered himself an only child despite having a step-family and has ...

Click here to listen. I met up with Jim Furyk at a photo shoot for the launch of the golf clothing collection from New York clothier Hawke and Co., and received an education on the differences between cotton and moisture-wicking polyester. I also learned how this upscale company’s products distinguish themselves from typical “off the rack” golf apparel right down to the subleties of the hawk symbolically stitched into every shirt and the recurrent colors of brown and orange which help golfers distinguish this clothing from the average lineup. Furyk, who recently signed a long term sponsorship deal with the contemporary outerwear ...
