TPC at Sawgrass is one of the most pictureesque golf courses in all of the PGA Tour and it is the site of the 2012 Players Championship, which kicked off today in Pontre Vedra Beach, FL. When it comes to golf, the first major question in all tournaments is, how is Tiger doing? Well, he’s struggling again and he put up a 2-over 74 today, which has him tied for 100th and on the verge of missing the cut in back-to-back tournaments. With how the rest of the field is doing, Woods will have to shoot in the red tomorrow in order to be still swinging on Saturday and Sunday. Woods was held out of the last two days of the tournament last week at the Wells Fargo Championship, when he shot an even par on the first two days. Sharing the lead after day one of the Players is Ian Poulter and Martin Laird with their 7-under 65′s. Laird had a bogie free round, racking up 3 birdies on the front-9 and 4 birdies on the back-9. Poulter had one blemish on his card with a bogie on the 7th hole but he bird...

What Exactly Is wrong With Tiger Woods?

When people think of Tiger Woods, they usually think of his 14 major championships, putting on that legendary green jacket, and sinking forty-foot putts as if they were only five feet.  What people most certainly do not think about is Tiger missing cuts in tournaments that should not be an issue at all.  I ask you, what exactly is wrong with Tiger Woods right now?  What can we...

Tiger Woods yelled at a fan because her cell phone clicked during his swing

We already made the case that Tiger Woods is rounding into the Tiger Woods of old in certain parts of his life. Though, his play is not quite there yet, you can see the strides elsewhere. We’ve already chronicled that his love of checking out the ladies seems to be coming back. And the first round of The Players Championship is an indication that his love of going berserk on noisy...

Woods in jeopardy of missing another cut

The last two years, Tiger Woods was gone before The Players Championship ended because of injuries. This time, it might be from his golf. The TPC Sawgrass got the best of Woods again on Thursday when he couldn't give himself birdie chances with a wedge in his hand, had only one birdie on the par 5s and wound up with a 2-over 74. Woods once went nearly eight years without missing...

Tiger Woods hits 'Light the Candle' tee shot (Video)

After Tiger Woods hit his tee shot to open Friday's second round of The Players Championship, a fan shouted "Light the candle!"

Tiger Woods bounces back at Sawgrass

Tiger Woods on Friday played like a man who wasn't going to miss consecutive cuts for the first time in his professional career. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy played like a man who's still dazed and confused when it comes to architect Pete Dye's idiosyncratic TPC Sawgrass layout. McIlroy has yet to play the weekend in three trips to The Players and left scratching his head...

A Tiger time warp: Stuck in the 70s

Somewhere during the walk between the driving range and the first tee, it's all going wrong for Tiger Woods. At the Masters, he set the tone for the tournament with a snipe hook into the pines and never recovered. At Quail Hollow last week, he made bogey on the most benign of starting holes and missed the cut. And the song remained the same Thursday at The Players Championship...

Tim Clark makes ridiculous eagle

While everyone is busy talking about Tiger Woods’ surge to get him on the right side of the cut line while Rory Mcllroy heads back across the pond, Tim Clark was busy sinking the shot of the day on the 7 of the THE PLAYERS Championship at Sawgrass. At first, it looked like the South [...]

The Good Old Days, When Tiger Wasn’t Awful

I feel like an old man every time I talk about Tiger Woods, saying things like, “In my day, that Tiger Woods fellow used to hit the ball 400 yards with a six-iron.” Ah,but  this picture does invoke memories of a happier time doesn’t it? A couple of dogs, a Swedish wife, 1.8 kids, not to mention the No. 1 ranking in the world of golf. Unfortunately, in today’s world, Tiger...

Tiger breaks shoe and ends streak of rounds in 70s

Television cameras and thousands of eyeballs focused on Tiger Woods' right foot as he made his way up the sixth fairway. No worries, though. It was just a broken shoe. Woods snapped the eyelet during his tee shot at the par-4 No. 5, called for a backup shoe and made a quick swap following his approach shot on the next hole. He found some rhythm a few minutes later, enough to...
