Tiger Woods has missed the cut at a major championship for only the fourth time in his professional career.
Barely able to tie his shoes three days ago, Tiger Woods is ready to tee it up in the PGA Championship.
U.S. captain Tom Watson said Monday that Tiger Woods’ latest back injury “doesn’t bode well right now” for Woods playing in the Ryder Cup.
Tiger Woods was stricken with more back pain Sunday and withdrew after eight holes at the Bridgestone Invitational. He struggled to even take off his golf shoes before being driven away to an uncertain future.
The PGA Tour suspended Dustin Johnson for six months after he tested positive for cocaine. According to the report, Johnson failed three drug tests — two for cocaine in 2012 and this year, and one for marijuana in 2009.
Barring an unforeseen collapse by Rory McIlroy, the final round of the British Open will be his 18-hole victory lap and a bore for long-shot bettors.
Rory McIlroy only saw birdies at Royal Liverpool, mostly on his scorecard, and even one pheasant that trotted across the eighth green as he was lining up a putt. That was but a minor interruption in his command performance Friday in the British Open.
Golf’s oldest major championship — the British Open — is remembered as much for the bad shots as the good ones. And the glory of golf is that there are no second chances. Here are five players in the British Open who wish they could have had a mulligan.
After a shaky start to the British Open, Tiger Woods ripped through Royal Liverpool on Thursday much as he did eight years ago when he won the claret jug for the third time. Woods’ 3-under 69 leaves him three shots behind leader Rory McIlroy.
As he’s showing more signs of old age, the old Tiger Woods is missed. He was far more fascinating when winning majors and scoring with porn stars.
