It's time for the first non-Tiger major in recent memory. Though this won't be the first weekend sans Tiger in recent memory (2006 Winged Foot US Open) it sure seems like it. And new, well different names have found the leaderboard. After day one Tiger's new 45 year nemesis with a bad back Rocco Mediate was in the lead but only one stroke behind was Greg Norman. I guess only time will tell if we see the Shark or the Guppie this weekend at the Royal Birkdale...

Every time I see it, there's something about Tiger in that Gillette Fusion commercial with Federer and that other guy that creeps me out.
The it struck me. He's turning into Jerry Seinfeld.

I've decided to dedicate this to golfer Rocco Mediate for putting on such a show that I'm calling this planet his world now, of course inspired by Rocco's Modern Life.
After taking Tiger Woods to 91 holes at the U. S. Open, matching him stride for stride until one putt came ...

1. Sergio Garcia: The young Spaniard will never have a better chance at winning a major. If he's ever going to win one then he's got to do it with Tiger Woods out. Last year he lost the British Open by inches and just some bad play down the ...

I may be alone on this but I think now with the emergence of Tiger, Arnold Palmer's greatest contribution to earth is not his golf game but rather the beverage he is known for creating, fittingly called "the Arnold Palmer."

Yeah, that's right. Butch Harmon hates fat people.
That's the only explanation for dropping a great talent like John Daly.
Come on, its not like John doesn't take his golf seriously. Look how many women he's divorced just to try and keep his focus entirely on golf.
Butch only cares about skinny golfers and guys who work out a lot.

Another major is here, and once again it will not be won by Phil Mickelson. Yes, I can say that after only one round. Lefty's opening round 79, leaving him ten shots behind three co-leaders: Rocco Mediate, Robert Allenby, and Graehme McDowell. You're telling me this guy's ...

What's the British Open without Tiger? A snooze-fest? Maybe. Unless of course you give the Open a healthy dose of Caddyshack, the classic golf comedy with a lineup that does more than just look good on paper (Detroit Tigers, you're on notice): Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray.
Who in this year's British Open would do a good job filling in for Dangerfield...

The All-Star Game was exciting. I think we all know what made the difference for the AL.Adam Ottavino, future ace.This Liriano situation is very entertaining. I understand how it's a tough decision for Bill Smith; it's not like he has Livan Hernandez in his rotation or anything.Well, this was successful.Greg Norman was 500:1 to win the tournament before the British Open...
