After failing to sign her scorecard on Friday, Michelle Wie was disqualified from the State Farm Classic. Only the LPGA failed to tell her about it until she had completed her round the following day.
After an imaginary journalist asked her how she felt about being used by the LPGA for the attention she brings to [...]

When Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa battled it out here, Ochoa won. Twice in a row.
Back in real life, the two top female golfers went at it in Ixtapa, Mexico on Saturday, where Annika took 11 skins to Lorena’s 7, making it the 3rd year in a row she defeated the now top-ranked female golfer.

There aren’t many, I admit, but there are a few. I also admit that while I’m glad for many of the things we don’t have in common, I sure wish I had her potential in golf. That said, here’s what we do share:

Tiger’s taking his ball (and US Open trophy) and going home. For the rest of the year.
Stress fractures of the tibia, a torn ligament, and his upcoming ACL surgery have the world’s number one hobbling away with his winnings to recover for the rest of the year. I hope he has a good disability plan, [...]

If you missed the US Open, you missed some of the best golf ever televised. It was incredible. Almost literally. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was rigged to script the drama. I guess it’s conceivable that Tiger could aim for an adjacent hole’s bunker knowing he could execute the amazing [...]

I’m told he’s not mentally disabled, so I guess Johnny Miller is fair game. With all the incredible action yesterday, it was irritating to have to listen to his nonsense.

Annika Sorenstam is playing with confidence, grace, and determination. She looks like the Annika we know and love from before her injuries.

I guess I didn’t ever witness much of Sergio Garcia’s bad behavior, or if I did, I didn’t pay it much mind. I did witness him choke over the years and struggle with his putting and actually wanted to see him overcome that and win. Yes, I admit I was rooting for Sergio Garcia this [...]

I get so irritated when I’m watching a golf event that Johnny Miller announces. It seems like on every hole, he says something (often many things) so stupid, self-aggrandizing or just plain annoying that I want to mute the telecast and watch it to music. But if he’s actually mentally disabled, I’d feel bad criticizing [...]

If Lorena falls into the Tiger Woods category, she certainly didn’t let it show this week while Paula Creamer stomped her down at the SemGroup Championship. The 21-year old “pink panther” held off the would-be-record-breaking five-time LPGA winner from claiming that glory at Cedar Ridge Country Club. I doubt anyone who is a serious follower [...]

I think we can all agree it would be amazing to play a round of golf with our favorite professional. They might even relax a little and have a fun, light-hearted round.

Whether you like it, hate it, or feel indifferent, many professional female golfers promote their sexiness on their respective tours. And the LPGA certainly doesn’t seem to discourage it.
So why don’t the men do it? Don’t they realize they have many fans attracted to men? There are some seriously sexy players on the PGA Tour, [...]

Annika Sorenstam had a great start to the season with her 70th win at Turtle Bay. She hung in there to take 4th place at the Fields Open, 4 shots behind winner Paula Creamer.
