Oh to be a fly on the wall when Tiger Woods visited President Barack Obama in the White House on Monday.

We all knew this day would come. We dreaded it, and paced around praying to every God we could think of, pleading for more time. But it had to come - Natalie Gulbis was fired from Celebrity Apprentice.
Yes, on Sunday’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice (not just the best TV show of all time, but arguably the best thing on the planet), Gulbis endured an epic round of fail and was summarily fired by host Donald Trump’s hair, thus ending her brilliant run on the show.
Gulbis (who apparently has two facial expressions - bemused, and slightly more bemused) failed spectacularly in ...

I’m a pretty new user to Twitter, but luckily I got some helpful hints from WorldGolf.com resident Twitterologist Brandon Tucker. Now if only Phil Mickelson can get some help.
Here are Mickelson’s “Tweets” thus far:
Hello all!
Trying to figure this thing out!
@rainn I am following you?
@rainnwilson I am following you?
@the_real_shaq Now Shaq I am a huge fan!
OK have fun with The Masters today!
@stewartcink Seems like you know what you’re doing! How do I increase my followers :) ?
So while it’s possible this isn’t the real Phil Mickelson (Twitter is rampant with fakes), it’s still pretty funny and, dare I say, cute. So ...

Following Tiger Woods’ tragic and humiliating performance at the Masters (finishing 6th? Meh) many golf experts have made it perfectly clear that his days as golf’s biggest star are over. Which makes Natalie Gulbis the most important golfer on the planet.
Yes, on Celebrity Apprentice (tapes of which should be shot into space so other intelligent life can learn just how kick-ass we humans are) Gulbis has taken things to an entirely new level.
In this week’s episode, Gulbis was team leader, and deftly stayed out of her teammate’s way as they won the week’s competition. Thus, Gulbis was presented a check ...

It was more than two years ago that golf lost one of its great ambassadors, former President Gerald Ford. Golfers of all political persuasions have a soft spot for Ford, who, aside from occasionally sending a golf ball screaming into the crowd, was truly a positive role model for golf.
But now, another Republican is stepping forward to pick up the mantle of golf ambassador - Condoleezza Rice. Yes, Rice was at Augusta this year, where she followed fellow Stanford Alum Tiger Woods. And while Rice was among the Tiger fans disappointed by Woods’ meltdown, she only added to her growing ...

Having watched Phil Mickelson run amok on his first few holes at Augusta and put himself in the running for taking home another Green Jacket, I would just like to make a proclamation: If Mickelson wins, you are never allowed to give him grief for anything again. Not his weight, not his game, not his family.
Basically, if Lefty can pull this off, he could go on a career-long Van de Velde, and his reputation will still be golden.
Head over to see Kiel Christianson’s epic live-blogging of the 2009 Masters to let your own voice be heard about what could ...

Over on Celebrity Apprentice - the greatest TV show in the history and pre-history of TV Shows (don’t dispute me!) - LPGA star Natalie Gulbis is still alive and well, battling to win the charity of her choice big bucks.
But while Gulbis has effectively used her sponsorships to help out her team, one thing cannot be denied - she’s coming off like an overly pampered superstar.
On the last episode, with contestants running a hotel and she acting as a room-service maid, Gulbis showcased that out-of-touchness with an obvious eyeroll aimed at some demanding guests. They were not impressed, and ...
