You see it again and again in golf; age is never a true determinant of success. Tom Watson's run at the British in 2009 was one of the most incredible moments of the year in all of sports, and the fact that a 60-year old came a poor greenside decision...

I hate to be generic and go with a Tiger post here, but in a week like this with so many angles to look at, we might as well take the chance to talk about Tiger. If I'm gonna analyze anyone's chances at the Match Play, Tiger's prospects are the...

The second full-field event of the Champions Tour season kicks off today in Naples, FL. The ACE Group classic is being contested at the Quarry, a course that plays over 7300 yards. Wait, over 7300 yards for the over-50 set? Can they reach those par-4's in 2 shots. Yes, don't...

Predictions for this week in at venerable Riviera... 1. Mickelson will contend, fall short. You have to commend Phil for playing his 4th event in a row. Don't see that a lot with the superstars, but Phil is showing a newfound committment to the game this year, with his family...

We all know that golf is a fickle game. One day you wonder why you aren't going to Q-school, the next you feel amazed that you had once been able to pull off a simple layup shot or even make a 3-footer. That's why stories like Mark Wilson's happen. See,...

I made a point yesterday to talk about the unpredictability of David Duval's career. Just when you start to count him out, he brings his A-game, and vice versa. After consistent play to start the year, as well as last year's T2 at Pebble, there was no reason to think...

Steve Marino is living the good life. Tacking on a 6-under round of 66 today at Pebble to his opening 7-under 65 at Spyglass yesterday, Marino stands comfortably atop the leaderboard late in round 2, three shots clear of D. A. Points, who is still on the course at Spyglass....

David Duval just can't be figured out, can he? The mysterious man who wears dark sunglasses and rarely shows much emotion on the course would not appear to be a fan favorite, but his almost tragic fall from superstardom in the game turned some people (including me) into fans. Especially...

The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is underway from the Monterey Peninsula in California, with chilly temperatures in the mid-50's. This is not surprising, as this tournament is well-known for having frost delays as well as the (very) occasional snow delay. The tournament is a fan favorite, though, with celebrities...

The Champions Tour takes its show to Florida this week for the Allianz Championship. This year's event can only hope to match the drama of last year, with Bernhard Langer's bunker hole-out to beat John Cook in a playoff. The course, The Old Course at Broken Sound, measures under 6900...

Ladies and gents, there was no senior pga this week. Fred Couples has been one of my favorite golfers. He has always been a good player and gets better every week. But after last week we should all be careful of Tom Leaham. Hes a force and he will win...
