Tiger, I’m Gobsmacked

We’re sunk. Golf is sunk. At least the PGA Tour. I said weeks ago in print in this column:  Tiger if you’re going to save golf, you better be squeaky clean, because if they get anything on you, we’re all sunk. Right on cue, we get not one, but two scandals. First we get Tampongate. Apparently Woods just forgot that every camera on planet Earth is HD...

As the LIV Golf World Turns – World Golf Points in the Balance, Patrick Reed Shunned by McIlroy, Seminole Shuns LIV

The grisly shuck that is the Saudi-funded sports-washing experiment otherwise known as the LIV Golf Tour will not have long to wait before a decision is made to allow their players to receive world golf ranking points and a pathway into playing in major championships.

Moving Day Sputters, Periera Overtakes Zalatoris at 2022 PGA Championship

The Zen of Collin Morikawa at the PGA Championship

Watch out for the wunderkind…again. Collin Morikawa may have the best attitude of any of the reigning PGA Tour superstars. Here’s a kid – and I choose that word with precision, because 25 is still remarkably young for anyone, and because of the youthful exuberance Morikawa in particular exudes – here’s a kid who won the PGA Championship in his first...

Maxing Out – Gil Hanse Restoration Both Highlights and Modernizes Original Design at Southern Hills

The Southern Hills Country Club that the touring professional golfers will face in the 2022 PGA Championship will bear only a passing resemblance to the 2007 Southern Hills systematically dismantled by Tiger Woods as he won his 13th major and his fourth Wanamaker Trophy. Happily, Southern Hills will appear far more similar to its origins in 1935-36 when Golden Age...

With England under the inept tutelage of a weak king, Edward VI, the only legitimate son of Henry VIII, in 1457 a French raiding party made its way to Kent and burned much of the city of Sandwich to the ground. What was left was pillaged under the orders of the Marshal of France, one Pierre De Breze. During the carnage, the Mayor of Sandwich was murdered. Ever since...
