Tiger Woods played in his first PGA Tour event back in 1992 at the age of just 16, when he competed in the Nissan L.A. Open. A few years later, he would play in his first PGA Tournament as a professional.
It took him just five events before he got his first win. Now, nearly 20 years later, Woods has 77 career PGA Tour wins, which is second all-time behind only Sam Snead. Continue reading
Earlier in April we saw a 14-year-old not only qualify for the Masters, but also make the cut. And not only did he make the cut, he was the low Amateur in the process. Over in China for the European Tour’s China Open, there was a 12-year-old who attempted to compete at one of the highest levels in golf.
They are just getting younger and younger these days aren’t they? Continue reading
The Wells Fargo Championship is up this week on the PGA Tour from Quail Hollow Golf club in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is one of the bigger tournaments outside of the Majors and World Golf Championships every season, because of the strong field. But this year, there will be one player noticeably absent from a field in which he typically contends.
Tiger Woods has opted to skip the event this week at Quail Hollow, and instead will make his first appearance since the Masters at the 2013 Players Championship from TPC Sawgrass next week. Continue reading
We didn’t have to wait very long to see the 14-year-old who wowed us at Augusta to be back in action on the PGA Tour at it again.
Guan Tianlang is in the field this week for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans playing on a sponsor’s exemption. And he picked up exactly where he left the Masters a couple of week ago.
Continuing to impress. Continue reading
Golf has long been called a gentleman’s game, and a game played on the highest level of honesty. The same can be said for those who work around the game as well. That was never more evident than when a story came out earlier this week down in Miami Beach, Florida when a worker found a bag full of money on a golf course.
Rachel Castillo was working her shift at a Miami Beach Golf Club , not far from where the PGA Tour plays the WGC Cadillac Championship at TPB Blue Monster, when she stumbled upon a bag full of cash back on January 20. Continue reading
Going into the Masters this week, we all thought it would be tough to top the playoff from the 2012 Masters. Little did we know that Adam Scott was fully prepared to topple those memories with one of his own.
In a Masters that didn’t really take shape until the final few holes on Sunday, it came down to two men in a playoff for the second-straight year at Augusta National. Continue reading
With the 2013 Masters beginning next week, players on the PGA Tour will get the chance to play one last tournament before the first Major championship of the season. But for each player in the field at Augusta National, they all have their own process and routines when it comes to preparing for a Major championship. There are many who opt to skip the event the week before a Major entirely, so as to not waste energy and focus on the Major. Other conventions of thought lead to playing at much tournament and competitive rounds as possible, to keep in the flow and mindset of being in the heat of battle. Continue reading
Next week the top players in the world will head to Augusta, Georgia for the first Major championship in 2013. The Masters is certainly one of the great events in sports. But this week, players will get their last dose of tournament competition before making their way to the Masters, as the 2013 Texas Valero Open gets underway on Thursday.
As a testament to this, Rory McIlroy committed to play in the event this week on Friday, after making the cut at the Shell Houston Open right on the number. McIlroy has not had the success in 2013 that he enjoyed in 2012, and feels that he needs to get in some more tournament rounds before going to the Masters next week. Continue reading
At one point over the last 29 months, Tiger Woods fell all the way down outside of the top-50 in the World Golf Rankings. But on Monday, after his eighth win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Woods regained the top spot for the first time in more than two years.
Woods has now won three of his five total starts in 2013, and will next play at the Masters in the second week of April. Continue reading
Picture yourself on a nice relaxing morning or afternoon going around the golf course. After all, even a bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at work right?
We might have to ask Mark Mihal that question though after his incident with a sinkhole in the middle of Annbriar Golf Club in southern Illinois.
Yes, we said that right. A sinkhole! Continue reading
