Phil Mickelson won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday. He shot a 64. It was amazing, and definitely one of the defining moments of his career (because it was so ******* crazy for Phil that even with him we are surprised). But what did we learn about the event? Follow along and see ...-- The win is more about Phil Mickelson than Tiger Woods -- Many are going to say that Tiger choked...

Admit it, you most likely didn't give Phil Mickelson much of a chance coming into the final round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Despite being only six shots back of Charlie Wi on Sunday -- Kyle Stanley and Spencer Levin will attest to those big leads being as safe as an open Brinks truck -- almost everyone had their eye on Tiger Woods.And rightfully so. Woods, who was only four...

There are a lot of amazing, incredible, preposterous, make-your-jaw-hit-the-ground things that Tiger Woods has done over his career, but the amazing thing is a lot of them come full circle. The year Woods won his first major, a runaway at the Masters, he turned a horrible front nine into an incredible back nine to start the week and get his career going in a path nobody in the golf...

People have asked me before what makes places like Pebble Beach so special. I mention the 7th hole or the Lone Cypress or 17 Mile Drive. But what the heck are my ridiculous words going to do when I can show you this picture of Tiger Woods, taken at MPCC today? There will be no better picture of Tiger Woods this year, I promise, unless that hot dog guy runs back on a green and actually...

Let me start off my saying that I have no problem with guys celebrating after a hole-out. Heck, the last time I knocked one in from just outside 150 yards, I took off in a full sprint towards to the hole, jumping up and down the entire way. Great golf shots tend to bring out the kid in all of us.However, after watching Ken Duke celebrate a hole-out yesterday at the AT&T Pebble...

Karrie Webb is playing in her native Oz this week's for the Women's Australian Open, which meant she was going to have a good following, and some local knowledge, when she teed it up at Royal Melbourne. (Editor's note: Shane's at RM this week and I think I speak for everyone when I say that I truly hate you sometimes, dude.)What she didn't expect, however, was...

Rory McIlroy recently admitted during an interview that he posed as a photographer during a golf tournament in Dubai so he could follow Tiger around the course "inside the ropes."

Or anything on the Internet, for that matter. That's because Spencer Levin has the technological desire of a wombat. Asked about the uplifting nature of the masses after Kyle Stanley's collapse at Torrey Pines, Levin said it would be impossible for groups to do the same for him since he looks at technology the same way Phil Mickelson looks at layup yardages. "I'...

If you ever find yourself golfing behind a slow foursome on a Texas golf course, I suggest exercising some patience before asking to play through. 

Maybe I'm completely off here, but I think there are two types of people; those that are perfectly fine being alone and those that are always in and out of relationships for fear of having to spend a day without someone to snuggle up with. The past year or so has shown us that Rory McIlroy, world beating golfer, is definitely the latter. The picture above is McIlroy, playing a practice...

You have to feel for Spencer Levin. Not only did the kid blow a six-shot at the Waste Management Open (it was actually seven at one point during the day), he also suffered this humbling moment on the back nine. After knocking his tee-shot in the Cholla, Levin was forced to use his belly putter to hack back into play -- but not before the bush exacted some revenge by leaving Levin...

Just one week after a monumental meltdown on the final hole at the Farmers Insurance Open, Stanley staged a remarkable comeback this weekend, coming from eight back to win in Phoenix for his first win.

In case you haven't watched the Golf Boys video enough (spoiler alert: you have), two of the four got together on Saturday at the Waste Management to do it again. Poorly. Off pitch. Oh man oh man. Someone kill this thing, please!

Donald Trump may be on of the richest guys on the planet, but as he's quickly finding out, sometimes it takes more than money to get what you want. Despite owning a 500-acre spread in Bedminster, N.J., that currently houses Trump National Golf Course, the millionaire is having trouble securing an adjacent piece of property next to the scenic course.What would the piece of propert...

You can't spell Waste Management Open without a guy nearly holing a drive in a trashcan, or something like that. This is Gary Woodland, Mr. Bomber, hitting his drive nearly in a trashcan on the 10th hole at TPC Scottsdale.

Bubba Watson may be one of the most recognizable golfers in the game today, but for at least one week, he's going to have to take a back seat -- no pun intended -- to his car at the Waste Management Open, after local tournament organizers, The Thunderbirds, decided to have a little fun with Bubba.Instead of throwing his name on the parking sign this week, they instead decided to...

I'm not one to sit here and rip writing, especially from someone as accomplished as Rich Lerner, but after reading through his "Hooks and Cuts" piece (I'm not sure if this is a regular piece), I had to point out one thing. He wrote -- "Tiger admitted he went to Abu Dhabi for the seven-figure appearance fee. Can you imagine Tom Brady bowing out of a Patriots’ regular season game...

(This article appeared on DTCC on January 31, 2011, exactly a year from today, and is a great precursor to the start of one of the wildest weeks of the PGA Tour season ... all still hold true, so I figured I'd re-print it for the world to see, with added notes to some of the spots)  It's Waste Management Open week, and for a guy that lives in Scottsdale, and has for the past few...

We have all written a check in our day that we had to void. Wrong name, wrong amount, or just something you didn't need to give anymore, the dreaded "VOID" crosses the top and you then tear it up. Unfortunately for Kyle Stanley, voiding this bad boy will be a lot tougher. Stanley had a three shot lead heading into the final hole on Sunday at Torrey Pines, and just...

I'm not sure if Graeme McDowell has ever played a game of H-O-R-S-E in his life, but if he hasn't, someone needs to tell him to pull this trick shot out of the bag when the game is on the line. To set the stage for this absurd shot, McDowell, playing in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, thins his approach shot from the bunker on the 18th hole and looks destined to hit the next shot...

One of the sneaking things about results is just how little they tell about what happened. In 20 years, people will see that Novak Djokovic won the 2012 Australian Open, but few will realize just how intense his five-set semifinal and final matches were, and how long he battled against Rafael Nadal before he was able to prevail. Before the week, if you had told me that Tiger Woods...

Just a little note to all out there. I will be heading to Australia this weekend to be a part of the LPGA kickoff. Yes, I'll be looping for my friend Irene Cho for a couple of weeks, and getting in good with some of the professional ladies so we can get some interviews, etc. for the season. While I'm out, you will be in the good hands of Mr. Jonathan Wall, who you have read if you...

You know how St. Andrews has a sand trap called Hell Bunker, and Pine Valley has one called the Devil's Asshole? Well neither of those have anything on what Luke Donald was in before the start of the HSBC. Yes, that is a mighty fine shot from the set of "Sex of the City 2." Getty Images

The above picture is the first of many you'll see that shows Jim Furyk pitching you 5 Hour Energy. As you know, 5 Hour Energy is that thing you drink that, as far as we can tell, forces you to make really annoying commercials, but the drink has hit our links, and Furyk is the man for the job. And as Darren Rovell points out, shouldn't Furyk be a little more jazzed if he's trying...

Yes, that is Tiger Woods, giving a putting lesson to, ahem, Sheikh Sultan Bin Thanoon Al Nahyan, the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority. After 34 putts in his first round, maybe Al Nahyan should be giving Tiger the putting lesson, amirite?!Getty Images
