Deutsche Bank preview: Time for Adam Scott to prove he's a world top five and topple Tiger

3 feedbacks »
When I saw the official world golf rankings this week my flabber was well and truly gasted. Adam Scott at number five. I had to pinch myself. Now think Luke Donald, Stuart Appleby, Geoff Ogilvy. What have they got that Scott hasn't this season? Wins!… more »

Bridgestone Invitational Round Four: How Stewart Cink's miss cost Tiger Woods layers dear

4 feedbacks »
When I suggested the weather would rain on Stewart Cink's parade in my previous blog I didn't mean it THAT literally! I feel a bit sorry for him after the way he fought back, with a little help from Tiger Woods, after going three shots behind Sunday. N… more »

Bridgestone Invitational Round Three: Cink turns back the clock, but weather may rain on his parade

Send feedback »
If you thought your eyes were deceiving you Saturday the stats would confirm it: Tiger Woods has lost his way off the tee and on the putting green. Which is why he posted his first four-bogey-in-a-row stretch since he was a callow rookie back in 1996.… more »

Bridgestone Invitational Round Two: Centigrade 8/25 to expose 'miracle' of Tiger Woods's ball

Where's Michael Moore when you need him? If ever there was a great conspiracy theory movie to be made it's about Tiger Woods's approach shot on the 18th Friday. It's got everything except sex (and that can easily be arranged) - shock (greatest golfer in… more »

Bridgestone Invitational Round One: If Adam Scott looks over his shoulder he'll see a Tiger bearing down

"Tiger give us poor layers a break ffs". I won't translate the last three letters of Thursday's forum message but you don't need a PhD to work them out. Layers that chose to take the great one on this week are yet again wailing into their piggy banks. I… more »

Bridgestone Invitational preview: Who's afraid of Tiger Woods? I'd say just about everyone

2 feedbacks »
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods. They talk of little else: how great he is, how boring he is, whether his current utter domination is a huge turn-on for golf or a massive turn-off. My mind goes to Formula One car racing which I used to watch religiously until M… more »

PGA Championship Round Three: Cool hand Luke can't beat the Tiger

4 feedbacks »
The PGA Championship layers are having a laugh aren't they? Luke Donald at less than 5 to win against a man who's 11 from 11 for winning majors leading into the final round, that man of course being Tiger Woods? I'd rather put a fiver on my socks not bei… more »

PGA Championship Round 2 sees Europeans on top, but money on Tiger Woods

2 feedbacks »
There's going to be a lot of sorry heads come Sunday night if Tiger Woods doesn't win the PGA Championship. Already at the half-way stage there's all but £2.5m ($4.7m) on his head in the Betfair winner market alone. That's a confident lot of squidollars… more »

First round of PGA championship sees some love for Davis Love and respect for Tiger Woods and Luke Donald

1 feedback »
During the first round of the PGA Championship, It didn't take some bright spark on the betting forums long to start a "When will Davis Love III blow it?" thread. He should have saved his fingers. Hardly had the pixels formed his words on the screen than… more »

PGA Championship preview: Tiger Woods the favorite, but don't forget Lefty and the Longshots

1 feedback »
Vital question of this PGA Championship week: do we believe what golfers tell us? They seem a decent enough bunch, ever eager to prove their sport to be honourable. Face it, if a golfer is going to voluntarily disqualify himself for some minor infringeme… more »

Tiger Woods smoothly retains Claret Jug with British Open cruise

Send feedback »
There was no more playing around with his prey for Tiger Woods on Sunday. Cool and clinical, he executed his game plan and extinguished the opposition with the greatest of ease. So unfortunately in the end we didn't get our tough battle of the giants. As… more »

Tiger Woods toying with the field at the British Open

Send feedback »
Is Tiger Woods actually a cat? I mean a pussy cat. You know what cats are like, they love nothing better than toying with their prey. Killing a mouse straight off is just too boring by half, that's the sort of thing those stupid lions do, only thinking o… more »

After two rounds at the Open, the stats say go with Tiger Woods

Send feedback »
What a mouth-watering prospect Saturday's golf is. Okay, in the end Woods-Mickelson wasn't to be, and maybe Hoylake has put Mickelson more firmly into perspective than Winged Foot. But, hey, I'll take Woods-Els instead any day. As far as I know, Tiger Wo… more »

British Open first round sees no rust on Tiger Woods

Send feedback »
Well if that's rusty, then my name is Ferrous Oxide. Okay, it was not one of Tiger Woods's finest rounds. Between his wayward tee shots and his flaky putting, the end result was a minor miracle - how he rescued par after fluffing that bunker shot I'll ne… more »

British Open Preview: Is a Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson battle in the cards?

Send feedback »
There's no pleasing some people. Usually everyone whines because it's cold, wet and windy in Britain (like they never have storms in America!). This year they're moaning because it's in the grips of an immense heatwave. This isn't British Open (sorry, Op… more »
