The Masters

2011 Masters Preview

The epic war between Greece and Troy was poignantly summed up by Homer in one powerful line of The Iliad: “For ten years they battled beneath the city walls, and no one knew whose side the Gods were on.” The greatest week in golf arrives with similar confusion and uncertainty, but also with an inspiring milestone. Though the PGA Tour lacks a dominant...

2011 Major Championship Venues Look Good for Tiger Woods

You might remember all the talk in late 2009 about how it looked like Tiger could run the table and win the Grand Slam of golf, (until a bunch of Ulricas and Jezebels got in the way), but 2011 looks like a great year venue wise for Woods as well.

2010 Masters Preview – Tiger, Golf at Crossroads, but Masters Endures

It’s here after a 24-hour delay to run at Cybergolf and PGA.com. Though Golf and Woods are at a Crossroads, the Masters still Endures -Jay Flemma An irreverent wag on an internet bulletin board summed it up best: This weekend should we cure cancer, catch Osama Bin Laden, and find intelligent life on Mars, it’ll make a nice sidebar to what happens at...

Happy Masters Eve! Despite all the Tiger news today – creepy commercial, going to the Golf Writers’ dinner and staying an hour instead of getting his award first and leaving, and Billy Payne’s stern words, which also offered hope (it was brave of Payne to break with the tradition of silence) – let’s talk par-3 contest.
