• Lewis, Fowler and Phatlum

  Lewis, Fowler and Phatlum: Youth Rules Golf This Week One should be careful throwing around the word youth these days, because it’s including younger and younger players all the time. I’m going to give Stacy Lewis the benefit of the doubt, even though she’s approaching her late twenties. Considering what she went through to get …

• Nancy Lopez Wins Byron Nelson Prize

  Nancy Lopez Wins Byron Nelson Prize There are a lot of generous folks from the sports worlds. Directed to the charities of their choice, individual players donate huge sums annually, and their foundations sustain a steady stream of assistance for those who often wouldn’t get it from anywhere else. Golf, however, stands out as a …

• Girl’s Golf in North America

  The LPGA and Golf Canada Watch out, Lexi. You’re getting on, and there’s a wave of greats coming in behind you. Here’s where they’re coming from, as if you didn’t know. In the U.S., the LPGA has truly done what it set out to do, “bringing women’s golf under one umbrella.” The developmental tour, ages …

• Winners, Losers and Danger: The Week in Golf

  Stacy Lewis, Jason Duffer, Bubba Watson, Se Ri Park, What an interesting week it was in the world of golf, from a weekender’s unexpected round to disturbing injuries and breakthrough wins for two on the men’s and women’s tours. Both events on the LPGA and PGA tours were cliffhangers this week, and it was difficult …

• Jason Dufner Goes for It: No More Runner-Up?

  Jason Dufner A Winner! The old adage claims that “no one remembers the guy who finished second.” It’s a harsh motto, and it’s very often true, but not always. In team sports, it’s worse in a sense. People really can’t remember who finished second. Finish number two in the Tchaikovsky International, and you’ve probably got …

• Yani Tseng & Ai Miyazato: Would You Like to Be Queen for a Day?

  A lot of readers probably wouldn’t remember that old show, but in a sense, it’s a flipped version of what we’re seeing in the LPGA these days. Three women would be brought on a panel to tell their tales of woe, and the audience would respond by means of an Applause –O-meter. The most woeful …

• Golf Trophies and a Tale of Two Artists

  Following the week of “the tournament  that must not be named,” I’ve begun to wonder what it is that PGA tournament victors really win. Of course, they win the purse, but we never get to see that, and it’s presumably gone before very long, in one direction or another. Actually, I wouldn’t want to see …

• The Inaugural Lotte Championship: Aloha

  I am thrilled to announce that there is a golf tournament starting up in three days that, among other things, allows women to play in it. In fact, only women are allowed, which means that the LPGA is back after an azalea heavy week in Georgia. The women’s upcoming tournament is such a relief that …

• Lizette Salas: Latina Golfer Breaks Barriers

  Lizette Salas For the aspiring golfer, to work one’s way from childhood into the LPGA Tour requires jumping through a lot of hoops. Privilege isn’t always necessary, but it certainly helps, and there is considerable expense along the way. This is the era of breaking down the obstacles that unfairly prevent women from achieving success, …

• Golf Comebacks, Large and Small

  Golf Comebacks, Large and Small We love them like we love little else in the world of sports – comebacks. In the short term, they can turn any athletic event into a cliffhanger. Just when you think one thing is certain, someone stages a comeback, and you can’t go to the hot dog and beer …
