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...
PGA Tour legend and 15 time major champion Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a one-car accident in Orange County California early this morning. The car rolled over several times, ended laying up on its driver’s side door, and Woods had to be extricated though the vehicle’s windshield with prying tools and axes. As of this report, Woods was in surgery...
BETHPAGE, NY – The stars are shining brightly on Broadway this week as the reigning Masters champion Tiger Woods, the defending champion Brooks Koepka, and the world’s number player Dustin Johnson all are favorites to win the 101st PGA Championship this week at Bethpage Black. While not as relentless as Winged Foot, as penal as Oakmont, or as windy as Pebble...
SOUTHAMPTON – “It’s a process, it’s a process, it’s a process.” If the old Tiger Woods – describing his swing changes – said it once, he said it a thousand times. It became a joke in the media center. I thought it was merely a combination of platitude and mantra; something to he chanted to himself as he worked the range...
If you needed any more proof that Tiger Woods is still getting free passes from the media, the deafening silence by the golf media on the day he pleaded guilty in his DUI case was concrete proof. “Looking haggard in a black suit and white T-shirt, the golf legend entered the plea to reckless driving through his lawyer at court in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.”...
Two bits of Tiger Woods news as we head to hump day. First, despite being torn apart by a pack of harpies during his infamous sex scandal, Tiger allegedly traded nude photos by cell phone with Lindsay Vonn. In a completely bone-headed move, Vonn stored them in an Internet cloud that was hacked, along with the nude photos of dozens of other celebrities. The photos...
It’s U.S. Open preview time. We’ll have our article posted at Golf News Net soon, but in the meantime, here’s part 1 of my Jay’s Plays Radio Show preview. This is one heck of a show people. Our first guest was the one and only Peter Kessler, veteran of thousands of radio and TV shows, including Golf Channel. We talked Tiger and Erin Hills...
The year was 1971, and even though the Rolling Stones had just generated grillions of dollars with their world-wide hit “Satisfaction,” there was Mick Jagger on a media dais surrounded by a forest of microphones and a phalanx of international journalists explaining that – for tax reasons – the Stones had to flee their beloved England and...
Tiger Woods’s long-awaited return to the PGA Tour will begin at home against the smallest field in competitive golf. Woods will play the Hero World Challenge at Albany December 1-4, starting alongside a mere 17 other players. “A lot of players make their homes right there, so it’s a buddy trip to Ti’s house,” quipped one irreverent wag...
As is his custom, using his website, Tiger Woods announced the conclusion of his rehabilitation from microdiscectomy surgery and released his future competitive golf schedule. Woods will play in the Safeway Open in Napa California to open the 2017 PGA Tour season October 13-16. Woods said he also intends to play the Turkish Airlines Open in November and his Tiger...
If you want the truth about what’s happening in the darker corners of the sports world, Phil Mushnick of the New York Post should be a daily stop. Today he skewers Nike’s entire Tiger Woods-fueled lunacy that led to their demise. From the article: “Nike was barking up the wrong money tree. Golfers aren’t as impressionable or as vulnerable as...
Photo credit: BarStool Sports HAVEN, WI – Tiger Woods’s PGA Championship press conference wasn’t over for five minutes before every alert on my cell phone and computer started going off: Twitter, Facebook, text messages, I think the only thing that didn’t ring was my LinkedIn account. The Internet was ablaze, discussing my question to Tiger in the...

Here’s the link to my article breaking down Tiger’s joke answer, then real answer to the question. We’ll also have a review of the future PGA venues and an article about things to do in Wisconsin this weekend for the PGA.
Tiger apologists are high-fiving each other in the streets following the announcement earlier today that Woods is parting ways with coach Sean Foley…one day after one of Foley’s other high-profile charges won the Barclay’s and took the lead in the FedEx Cup standings. “With my next tournament not until my World Challenge event (Dec. 1-7) at...
Citing unnamed sources, Golf Channel claims that Tiger Woods will return to pro golf at the Open Championship, held this year at Royal Liverpool, where he last won the Open Championship eight years ago. No further information was available, and neither Woods not his agent Marc Steinberg confirmed any timetable for Woods’s comeback. According to the article:...
