Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. - Quoted from “Marmion” by Sir Walter Scott in 1808 It’s impossible to know what effect this public humiliation regarding his philandering lifestyle will have on the golf game of Tiger Woods.

Golf fans should exalt in Presidents Cup

Oct 7, 2009 1:38pm

To be honest, there’s not a lot of buzz surrounding the 2009 rendering of the Presidents Cup. The reason for the lack of pre-event excitement is because the American team appears to be a lead pipe cinch to win. I mean, seriously, is there anyone in the entire world who...

A Solution to the Problems with the FedEx Cup

Close your eyes and imagine that your boy Shanks here is Commissioner of the PGA Tour. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s a real stretch, but bear with me. I’d be going to those generous folks at FedEx with a better concept for their wildly lucrative FedEx Cup competition and here...

Phil Mickelson's joke about the FedEx Cup is no joke

Sep 29, 2009 3:56pm

“Let me get this straight. I just shot 65 on Sunday to win by three shots, while Tiger shot 69. But he gets $10 million and I get $1 million. No, he he he, I’m just joking.” That was Phil Mickelson’s response (paraphrased) to a post-round query of his thoughts on...
