Click here to listen. Despite the fact that Tiger Woods missed his final putt at the 18th hole of the Barclays, he still made watching the event a nail-biting experience.

Click here to listen. Michelle Wie really wanted all of the “judges” who convinced themselves that she isn’t all that great a golfer to see her in all of her glory at the Solheim Cup, and with three and a half out of a possible four points to her credit.

Some may say that he brought his “B” ...

Click here to listen. Does Tiger Woods’ victory at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational portend another major failure this week at the PGA Championship? Although Woods put on a clinic this week, he may just as easily fail in his bid to win a single major tournament this season. Reuters mentioned that Tiger “sent out an ominous warning to his rivals” for the upcoming major event, but, as we have seen from Tiger this year, he has not been able to close the deal on one major title this season. Perhaps Tiger should be content realizing that there are plenty of PGA Tour events ...

The question is, will she assist her fellow teammates or will heatstroke prevail, forcing Beth Daniel to place her on the sidelines? Wie has been given exemptions and handouts by the powers-that-be for so long that many people are wondering whether or not she deserves this honor and if she will make the most of it come “crunch time".
