Oh, Sergio...
Padraig Harrington had just given Sergio Garcia the lead in the PGA Championship with just four holes to play when he bogeyed number 14 at Oakland Hills.

John Daly: Corrupting America's Youth Since 1985
We all have those stories about the first time we got drunk.

The first time I got smashed it was the night before t...
Members Of The LPGA Would Like To Take This Time To Remind Michelle Wie That She's Still An Awful Golfer
As long as Michelle Wie continues to derail her own career by playing on the men's tour instead of first being competitive in a women's major tournament, she'll be considered a joke by some of her LPGA peers. Golfers Annika Sorenstam, Helen Alfreddson, and Paula Creamer didn't mince words about Wie'...

PGA Braces For A Year Of Living Tigerlessly
The PGA tour is now officially in trouble.

Now this is the way to quit. Simple announcement, no ambiguity, definite schedule for withdrawal.

A Great Tournament Capped With A Great Game
The most fun part of last night's national championship game? It wasn't one of those awful defensive wars of attrition, in which each team grinds out the shot clock before chucking an off-balance out-of-control shot. (Or, at least on the rare occasions that happened, the shot went in.) On the whole...
