We all knew it was only going to be a matter of time: it was always a question of when, not if, Tiger Woods would rediscover something remotely resembling form. It would appear that the time has now finally come.

For the best part of three years, the newly reinstated world number one cut a feeble and forlorn figure, unable to pinpoint exactly what the problems still persisting in his previously flawless game were.

Tiger Woods Wins Cadillac Championship

Reblogged from CBS Miami:

DORAL (AP) — That red shirt is starting to look ruthless on Sunday again.

One year after Tiger Woods hobbled off the Blue Monster, he picked up the pace in his march to the Masters. Woods delivered two quick birdies to take the drama out of Doral, and two late bogeys only made his victory in the Cadillac Championship seem closer than it really was.

Golf sensation Roy McIlroy is the latest in a line of top sports stars seemingly effected by the 'Curse of Nike'.  The 23-year-old Holywood, Co Down, swinger said he was in a bad place mentally after walking off the course midway through the second round of the Honda Classic.  He later blamed a toothache.  In January, McIlroy signed a money-spinning $300 million deal with the sports brand giant.

Thompson Wins Honda For 1st Tour Title

Reblogged from CBS Chicago:

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Michael Thompson had one of only five rounds under par Sunday to win his first PGA Tour event at the Honda Classic.

Thompson seized control with a 50-foot eagle putt on the third hole. He stayed in control with superb par saves early on the back nine at PGA National. He made birdie from the bunker on the last hole for a 1-under 69 and a two-shot victory over Geoff Ogilvy.

I'm always pulling for the underdogs especially for a guy to win his first PGA Tour event. Many congratulations to Michael Thompson. I'm left wondering why Tiger Woods finishing with a 74 and ending tied for 37th was truly noteworthy.

Very disappointed in Rory's withdrawal shenanigans at The Honda Classic yesterday.  I'm not buying this toothache excuse one bit and this is looking more like someone with amazing talent and a poor work ethic, who is struggling mentally because of a bad decision to change equipment.  He's exhibiting a lack of character more on the lines of what we would expect from a John Daly.

Review of golf clubs in Ireland

Reblogged from golfadvicetips:

They lie along Ireland’s western and northern coastline like treasures from a shipwreck quietly washed ashore. Golf links inspiring deep local pride, they haven’t yet achieved the renown of Atlantic-shore neighbors Lahinch and Ballybunion. Be advised, however: Strategically and aesthetically they rival the top seaside courses of any other nation.

Introduce yourself to the bumpy, bristled and wave-washed linksland of Clare, Mayo, Donegal and Sligo, Irish counties where, mile upon mile, the scenic power of the landscape outdoes a visitor’s capacity to savor it.
