Good move for Tiger Woods, but whether or not it will prove to be a good move for Joe LaCava – that remains to be seen. There were some rumors floating around that LaCava and Dustin Johnson weren’t exactly hitting it off, and judging by the matter-of-fact way that LaCava broke the news to DJ [...]

As I ponder the frightening thought of Donald Trump somehow becoming the leader of the most powerful country on the planet, I’m reminded of a quote from the character Tom Dobbs, played by Robin Williams in the 2006 comedy, Man of the Year. If you’ve never seen the movie, here’s a little background. Dobbs is [...]

As if Martin Dempster’s needless article defending Westwood’s return to the top spot wasn’t enough, now we have Colin “rabbit ears” Montgomerie joining the fray. “What are they really complaining about?” said Montgomerie. “Is it the fact that they are not getting as many points for their events and we are?

Just some miscellaneous quotes from the USA Today article highlighted below. “They just decided to take a break for awhile,” David Winkle of Hambric Sports Management said in an email. “This isn’t about finding a replacement as quickly as possible,” Winkle said. “It’s about finding the right person.” “There’s no bad blood between him and [...]

It’s not that often that a seasoned caddie gets mentioned in a player’s credits after a tournament win, but there’s no denying the value of a seasoned perspective from someone who has a vested interest in his player’s success. Especially coming down the stretch on Sunday, with his player in control of the tournament with [...]
