There oughta be a rule, like 1(a), that says Tiger Woods must make a couple putts IF it would win him a golf tournament. Its application, of course, is highly contingent on Woods being in position to win a golf tournament, which had been such a while it could be the USGA and R&A -- in their … [Read more...]
World No. 388
Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson, Tiger Woods ... all within the top 388 in the World Golf Rankings, which makes the Valspar Championship just about the best field of a non-major this season.

Monday murmuring
Justin Thomas had another "fuck, yeah" moment on 18 Sunday in Mexico City, holing out for eagle from 121 yards to take a sudden two-stroke lead to the clubhouse. Phil Mickelson made a routine birdie on 15 and a clutch birdie putt on 16 to force a playoff and set up an "oh, fuck" moment for Thomas -- … [Read more...]
And the winner is …

Jon Rahm is not the story at the Farmers Insurance Open this week, and won't be any sooner than Saturday, even though he's defending champion, even if he's leading the tournament, even if he did supplant Jordan Spieth at No. 2 in the World Goffin' Rankings with a playoff victory last weekend … [Read more...]
Back on the horse
Tom Hoge missed putts on the 16th, 17th and 18th holes Sunday in Honolulu, and all they did was lose him a golf tournament. Hoge, the 54-hole leader at the Sony Open, finished a shot out of a playoff -- close, sliver close, to his first PGA Tour victory. Hoge had a one-stroke lead heading to … [Read more...]
Prep work
So I wonder, then, if I'm not old, why all I talk about are "procedures," friends who are sick, and incarcerating or otherwise caring for our parents prior to burying them. It's enough to make a guy hide his head ... preferably, if it came to that, in a greenside bunker of fine white sand in … [Read more...]

The tasseled loafer, boys and girls, has hit the faux-oak laminate. No one was too surprised to hear it belonged to Warren … [Read more...]

Spine detection edition
T. Woods says his pain is behind him. I believe it's back there, all right, chasing him. He's playing in this weekend's Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, and the field is strong. Woods will be paired the first day with Justin Thomas, just one of the guns in the sun looking, even now, to … [Read more...]
