Vijay steals one from Segio

Watched a good bit of the Barclays today.  It was one of those tournaments where nothing seems to happen until the back nine and then there are half a dozen players with a shot to win.  It was also weird watching the Fed Ex Cup without Tiger Woods. In the end Sergio Garcia, Vijay Singh, [...]

How hot is Tiger Woods?

This hot: • Tiger Woods has won the last three times an event was played at Doral Resort and Spa (Doral-Ryder Open, 2005-06; World Golf Championship event, 2007). • He has won the last three WGC-CA Championships (known as American Express Championship before 2007) and six overall, tied for his most wins at any event. • He has [...]

Tiger and Phil a little rusty

I haven’t written about golf around here for a while. Not sure why as I have been watching it. Distracted by other things I guess. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were back in action today for the first time since the US Open at the AT&T National. Tiger missed The Buick to spend time with [...]

David Beats Goliath

If I told you that Tiger Woods had the lead in the final round of the Masters and lost would you believe me? What if I told you that after a very Tiger like eagle at the 13th to close within two shots, he proceeded to miss a makeable birdie putt on the next hole [...]

Tiger Woods: Yep, still quite good

It’s been while since we have had the pleasure of watching Tiger Woods play golf. Looks like it is a “riding a bike” kind of thing for Tiger. For the seventh straight time in a PGA official tournament Tiger won. That is 55 wins and more money than god. I think Buick is pretty happy [...]

Guess Who? Yup, Tiger Again.

The question coming into the World Golf Championship Bridgestone Invitational was just when would Tiger Wood’s hot streak end. Woods has been playing such beautiful golf of late that fans were wondering if he might challenge his 1999-2000 streak of six wins in a row. After his PGA Championships victory last week, Tiger had won [...]

Ruthlessly boring? Tiger dominates again.

Can a ruthless display of disciplined golf be boring? That is the question I am asking myself after Tiger Woods won the PGA Championship on Sunday. The win is Tiger’s third in as many starts; his second straight major and his twelfth overall. Only Jack Nicklaus (18) stands between him and the record for major [...]

Was there ever any doubt?

Tiger Woods has won the PGA Championship for his 12th major. That makes his third straight win in as many tries and his second major this year. He is now a lock for Player of the Year and continues his chase for Jack Nicklaus’s 18 major victories. More later.

Tiger Wins 50th at Buick Open

With four straight rounds of 66 Tiger Woods won the Buick Open and claimed his 50th tour victory at the age of 30. After his British Open win I wrote that: All is right with the golfing world this morning. It is once again spinning on its proper axis. With another impressive win at the [...]

Buick Open

I am watching the Buick Open while I play around with the various blogging tool I am testing. Should be pretty interesting.  Right now Vaughn Taylor is leading by a stroke over Mike Weir and Bret Quigley and by two strokes over Tiger Woods.  Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh are three back. Nice mix of [...]
